Every citizen of Russia is faced with obtaining and replacing a passport. You need to carry out such important procedures three times in your life - at 14, 20 and 45 years old. If you do not receive or replace your passport, you may be fined a decent amount. When does a passport become invalid?
Many people simply do not want to delve into the process of obtaining or replacing a passport. But in vain! After all, everyone should know their rights, as well as have a minimum of knowledge in the field of jurisprudence. Otherwise, you will have to pay more than once and not at all small amounts. That is why you need to understand at least a little about the procedure for replacing a passport, and also take into account the time frame after which the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation becomes invalid.
When to get and change a passport
Information about the age at which you need to receive or change a passport is available and known to everyone - for the first time a person receives this document at the age of 14, then changes at 20, and after changing the passport at 45, it can be used for the rest of his life. You can also find information on the timing of replacement of the passport on the last page of the document. In principle, you can easily remember the expiration dates of a Russian passport and, of course, try to replace it on time.
When a passport becomes invalid
It should be noted that, by law, a passport remains valid for a month from the date a person reaches a certain age. For example, if you are over 20 years old, then within the next month you will need to replace your passport. Of course, you can do this procedure shortly before your birthday. The main thing is not to forget about the timing. A person who does not replace his passport within 1 month after turning 20 or 45 will be fined from 1,500 to 2,500 rubles. Agree, the amount is considerable? In order not to inflict a significant blow on the budget, it is worth taking care in advance of collecting certificates, standing in queues, as well as making your fresh photos.
Other reasons why a passport becomes invalid
In addition to the expiration date, there are other reasons as a result of which the passport will become unusable (invalid). The document will become instantly invalid from the moment when inscriptions, drawings, etc. appear on it by unauthorized persons. For example, if your child scribbled down the pages of the passport with a pen or pencil, or you accidentally scribbled on any of the pages of the document, then you will have to change the passport as soon as possible.
The passport should also be replaced when it becomes too shabby, worn out, etc. The unsightly appearance of the document does not invalidate it, but it is worth replacing it for your convenience.
