Replacement of a 45-year-old passport: what documents are needed, deadline for submitting an application to the MFC, state duty

The general civil passport of the Russian Federation is not an unlimited document and requires replacement at 20 and 45 years. The procedure can be carried out in several ways - directly through the GUVM branch, using the State Services portal or by visiting one of the city’s MFCs.

How to replace your passport upon reaching 45 years of age

As of 2019, replacing a passport at the MFC at the age of 45 is regulated by two regulations - Government Decree No. 828 and Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 851. The first describes the very fact of the need for replacement, the second establishes the regulations for the procedure.

DOWNLOAD Form 1P - upon reaching 45 years of age. There are also two main reasons for replacement:

1. Firstly , the document itself wears out and becomes obsolete after 25 years of use. New protection technologies appear, sections are added or removed. The introduction of mandatory biometrics with fingerprints is being actively discussed for 2019. Old passports may simply not be up to par with the technology;
2. The second reason is the obsolescence of the photograph. 45 years old is statistically the age milestone for a significant change in appearance. Simply put, a twenty-year-old photograph almost completely ceases to correspond to a real person.

To carry out the exchange, a citizen should contact the Main Department of Migration Affairs or use one of the methods of submitting documents permitted by law. You will have to obtain a passport yourself, either by visiting the UVM/MFC in person, or by sending an application for registration at home due to the inability to visit the branch.

After replacement at 45 years of age, the passport becomes unlimited and is changed only in two cases:

• Physical damage to the document, making key elements unreadable;
• All-Russian replacement of passports in connection with global changes.

The second option last occurred in the 90s, when RSFSR identity cards were changed to Russian Federation passports.

Contacting the MFC

The multifunctional center is a relatively modern innovation, operating in a “single window” format. The center acts as an intermediary between the citizen and numerous government services, helping in the processing and direction of information.

The work of the MFC is regulated by Federal Law 201-FZ “On the provision of services to the population.”

An additional municipal body was created for the following purposes:

• Simplification of provision of standard services;
• Reducing the time required for processing documents;
• Reducing the load on specialized departments such as the passport and visa department of the Main Directorate for Migration and Migration;
• Improving the quality of service to citizens.

Compared to service through the police department, the MFC offers a more convenient level of access and notifications about the registration progress, no queues, and simple interaction between a citizen and a center employee.

If the applicant does not have time to wait at the center, you can sign up through the State Services portal. To register through State Services, you need to pre-register on the resource.

After registration, you can make an appointment using the link www.gosuslugi.ru. Here you can register for the main types of center services, as well as provide additional information and answers to basic questions.

Important! Pre-registration at the MFC is not mandatory. The center operates an electronic queuing system; waiting times rarely exceed 15 minutes.

Procedure for replacing a passport

A passport is replaced within 30 days from the citizen’s 45th birthday. The passport becomes invalid immediately after 45 years of age, a month is allocated for its replacement without administrative penalties. An expired passport cannot be used to enter into contracts or any other actions.

Important! If an applicant needs a valid ID for work or personal purposes, they may request a temporary document. The certificate is issued by the Main Directorate for Migration and MFC when replacing a passport.

To replace it, a citizen must provide a set of documents and a standard form application, as well as pay a government fee. If the documents were submitted at the place of registration, the replacement will take no more than 10 days from the date of receipt. If a passport is issued in another city or region, the replacement may take up to a month.

List of documents

The set of documentation is the same for all registration methods. In order to obtain a passport at 45 years of age, you will need:

• Application of standard form 1P. It can be filled out either by hand or on the computer. A sample of the completed application form looks like this (DOWNLOAD)
• Two passport photos. Headgear or jewelry that covers the face is not permitted. The only permission in the regulations is glasses for vision correction, provided they are worn constantly;
• Expired passport;
• Confirmation of payment of state duty.

To additionally complete sections, the applicant may provide:

• Birth certificates if children are under 14 years of age;
• Military ID;
• Confirming document on divorce;
• Documents proving registration at the place of residence.

State duty

You cannot pay the state fee at the MFC itself; to do this you need to use the services of one of the banks. However, in each of the centers there is a Sberbank terminal through which you can quickly pay the required fees. The center's consultants will help with payment and registration.

State fee for replacing a passport

In case of passport replacement, the fee will be 300 rubles. Payment can be made either from a Sberbank card or in cash using a terminal. The payment receipt is provided to employees on site, so there is no need to go to the bank to complete the procedure.

Receiving a passport

After paying the fees and transferring the documents, the citizen receives a receipt indicating the list of accepted documents and the date of execution. The receipt identification number is the key by which you can track the progress of readiness.

There are four verification methods:

1. Via a hotline number. The numbers differ for each region, you can find them when visiting the center;
2. On the official website of the project. A list linked to regions can be found here; main phone numbers are also located here.

   Each of the sites has a standard system for tracking an application by its number;

3. Using online chat. This service is not provided everywhere, but on the websites of some regions you can find a special button. Most often, the button leads to a dialog box with a center employee who will help solve the problem in writing;
4. Personal visit with temporary ID and receipt. The simplest and most inconvenient way.

It must be remembered that documents are processed at the Main Department of Migration, and not at the MFC. Each additional action goes through several specialists and seriously delays the procedure. Therefore, the required papers should be provided on the same day and without errors, otherwise the 10 days of passport production may take a very long time.

Late replacement

If after 30 days the passport has still not been issued, Article 19.15 of the Administrative Code comes into force. The fine for a citizen of the Russian Federation not having a valid passport varies between one and a half to two thousand rubles.

Despite the small amount, employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, if desired, can fine a citizen for lack of a passport virtually every day, during any check.

With an invalid passport, a citizen will not be able to:

• Take out a mortgage, loan;
• Book train or plane tickets.

Living without a passport is equivalent to a partial loss of civil rights.

Grounds for refusal

According to statistics from multifunctional centers, most often the issuance of a new passport is denied due to formal errors in the application or the absence of the necessary document. In this case, the application will not be accepted.

If the application was accepted, but serious errors were discovered in the documents received (for example, mismatched last names), then the applicant is notified of this and asked to bring new documents, and the ten-day period is suspended.

In addition to incorrect information and lack of necessary documents, they may refuse in the following cases:

• Non-format photographs (wrong size, hat, sunglasses);
• Documentation (for example, birth certificate) in a foreign language. The translation is missing or not certified by a notary.

In these cases, replacement is not possible until the specified defects are eliminated.

If we forget about technical errors, there are three legitimate reasons for refusing to provide a new passport when the application has already been accepted:

1. The applicant renounced Russian citizenship;
2. Incorrect information was provided during registration;
3. The state duty was not paid.

Is it possible to change a passport at the MFC using temporary registration?

According to the law, a passport can be replaced at any branch of the Main Administration for Migration Affairs or the MFC of Russia. An attempt to refuse to accept an application because of your place of registration is illegal.

The only difference in registration outside the home city is that the applicant will have to additionally provide a certificate of temporary registration. The document can be obtained from the local department of the State Administration for Migration, MFC, or pre-issued on the State Services portal.

Changing a passport with temporary registration requires a longer verification period due to interdepartmental requests. The deadline for registration is up to 30 days from the date of submission of the application form.

Registration of a passport replacement at the MFC is convenient due to the fact that all necessary actions are performed in one place, with the help of competent center employees.

Despite the fact that the replacement itself will take several days longer than when registering an application with the State Department of Migration, the convenience of registration, payment and control in one place will be a good choice when applying.

Renewing a passport at 45 years old: deadlines, documents and procedure

Replacement of a passport at the age of 45 is required by every citizen of Russia. If this is not done, the document will become invalid and you will have to pay a fine. There are several ways to do this: through the State Services portal, through an application to the MFC of your city, or through one of the branches of the Main Directorate for Migration Issues of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.

How to replace your passport upon reaching 45 years of age

Legislatively, the replacement procedure is determined by Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 851 and Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 828. The first document specifies the established procedure, and the second document determines the need to change the document.

There are several reasons why absolutely all citizens have to change their passport.

1. Age-related changes in appearance. Obviously, a person at 20 and at 45 will look different. And often, it becomes impossible to identify a mature person from a youthful photograph. Especially if we are talking about a radical change in hairstyle, gaining or losing weight, getting injuries and scars.
2. Wear and tear of a paper document. Since the passport is presented every time you contact government agencies, make major transactions and purchases, when contacting banks and offices of cellular communication operators, it gradually wears out and becomes unusable. In addition, it may end up with pages related to stamping registration, TIN, marriages and divorces, and military service obligations.

To exchange a document that has lost its relevance, you must submit an application in one of the established ways by contacting the MFC, GUVM or the State Services portal.

You will have to obtain a new passport in person, except in cases of disability or illness.

People who cannot independently visit one of the branches of the authorized bodies can send an application for the issuance of a document at home at their place of registration or place of residence.

Passports issued at the age of 45 become unlimited and must be replaced only if the document is partially or completely damaged (torn pages and stains), or if a new law is adopted on the introduction of new samples of citizens' documents. The Government of the Russian Federation has repeatedly talked about the development of a new single universal document that could replace not only a passport, but also a driver’s license, as well as an insurance certificate for compulsory pension insurance.

Contacting the MFC

MFC (Multifunctional Centers) is a network of institutions operating in the “Single Window” format, where any citizen of Russia can apply for registration and receipt of almost any document from various government agencies.

The MFC is a convenient intermediary between a person and any government authorities; moreover, using its services is often easier and more convenient than contacting officials directly.

There are fewer queues, and the staff is more friendly and polite, and not spoiled by bureaucracy.

The MFC operates on the basis of Federal Law No. 201 “On the provision of services to the population.” It was created for the convenience of citizens and performs the following tasks:

1. Simplifying citizens' access to any government services.
2. Reducing the time it takes to complete and receive any documents.
3. Reducing the burden on officials and employees of government agencies.
4. Improving the quality of service for citizens by reducing queues and eliminating the need to run to different authorities to collect certificates, extracts and documents.

According to numerous reviews, contacting the MFC is much more comfortable and convenient than contacting specialized police departments. The transparency of the procedure is much higher, and you can always track the status of your application for service, what is happening with your documents and when to expect the final result.

To speed up the process, you can sign up on the State Services Portal for a specific service time. In most cases, this is not necessary, since a live queue rarely forces you to wait more than 20 minutes.

Procedure for replacing a passport

Passport replacement is possible within a 30-day period, starting from the day you turn 45 years old. In this case, the passport immediately becomes invalid, and a temporary identity certificate is issued in its place.

An expired document cannot be used to conclude transactions, contracts or any other legal actions. If a citizen ignores the 30-day deadline, he will be fined.

To obtain a new passport, you will need to collect a package of documents, pay a government fee and fill out a standard application. When applying at the place of registration, the entire procedure will take no more than 10 days. If you apply in another city or region, the process may take up to 1 month.

List of required documents

1. Statement of standard sample 1P. You can fill it out either on the computer or by hand. Download sample form.
2. Two standard photographs without head coverings covering the face.

   Shots with transparent glasses are acceptable if they are used on an ongoing basis.

3. An old passport that is no longer valid.
4. Receipt or check for payment of state duty.

If it is necessary to fill out additional pages or make changes, the citizen provides:

• Birth certificates for children under 14 years of age.
• Military ID.
• Documents on marriage and divorce.
• Proof of residence at a specific address.

State duty

When applying to the MFC or other departments, you must come with the fee already paid. Employees cannot accept cash. However, as a rule, all branches have a Sberbank ATM, with which you can make a payment transaction.

The fee is 300 rubles.

Receiving a passport

After submitting all the necessary documents and a receipt for payment of the fee, the citizen receives a receipt for the acceptance of documents, indicating by name all the sheets, as well as the date of acceptance. Using the receipt number, a person will be able to track the progress of their application and the readiness of the document via the Internet.

Methods for checking readiness:

1. Call the hotline in your region and give the receipt number.
2. On the regional website of the MFC.
3. Via online chat, which works on some regional sites. Online center staff are usually able to provide all relevant information upon your request.
4. Personal visit to the branch with a receipt and temporary identification card. Perhaps the most labor-intensive method, which is resorted to only if the previous ones were unavailable for some reason.

The document itself is prepared in the structures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and not in the MFC. The multifunctional center is only a convenient intermediary between a person and the internal affairs bodies.

The completed passport is stored for 3 years. If a citizen does not manage to receive the document within this allotted period, he will have to go through the registration procedure again.

Late replacement

If a person did not manage to change the document within 30 days, he will have to bear responsibility under Article 19.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.

He will be required to pay a fine of 2,000 to 5,000 rubles, and for residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg the fine will be from 3,000 to 5,000 rubles.

Employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs may agree to a meeting and not impose punishment if there is a good reason: for example, prolonged hospitalization in a hospital.

Hypothetically, a person could be fined several times for being late. But only if he is caught by the police with an invalid document on different days.

Grounds for refusal

According to multifunctional centers, the most common reasons for refusal are errors in filling out the application, the absence of one of the necessary documents or a receipt for payment of the state fee. In this case, your application for a replacement will be refused.

If errors in the application were discovered after the package of documents was accepted for processing, they will call you and ask you to bring corrected versions of the necessary papers. In this case, the 10-day period is suspended, and you will receive a completed ID card later.

Other reasons for refusal

• Incorrect photo format (size, color, prohibited type of headdress or glasses),
• Documents in foreign languages ​​without a notarized translation (for people born outside of Russia).
• You previously renounced citizenship of the Russian Federation.
• The state duty was not paid or the payment did not go through and did not enter the database of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
• Detection of incorrect information in the application.

Is it possible to change a passport at the MFC using temporary registration?

Any refusals based on the place of registration (temporary or permanent) are illegal and can be easily appealed. You have the right to contact absolutely any branch of the GUVM or MFC.

The only caveat is the need to additionally provide a certificate of temporary registration. It can be obtained in advance from the State Administration for Migration, MFC or issued through the State Services portal. In addition, the entire procedure will last up to 30 days.

We recommend contacting the MFC, as it is the easiest and most convenient, plus it is possible to track the readiness of your application at all its stages.

How to change your passport at 45 years old: a package of documents through the MFC

According to Russian law, every citizen of the country is required to exchange a passport twice in his life - at 20 and 45 years old. The need for replacement is caused by the fact that over time the document deteriorates, and the person’s appearance changes a lot.

Until recently, you had to get a new ID card through the passport office, where there were huge queues. But now the service is available in multifunctional centers open throughout the country.

It remains to figure out how to exchange a passport at 45 years old through the MFC for a new one.

Passport exchange: step-by-step instructions

One of the most pressing questions is when should a citizen of the Russian Federation change his or her passport. You must apply for a new document within a month after reaching 45 years of age.

It is highly undesirable to miss this deadline.

An expired document cannot be used to apply for loans or perform other legally significant actions, and the possibility of imposing an administrative fine cannot be ruled out.

The step-by-step procedure for replacing a document looks like this:

1. A Russian who wants to replace his passport makes an appointment in any convenient way. This can be done by phone, on the official MFC portal “My Documents” or through State Services. Submitting documents in another city without registration is also possible: this is one of the operating principles of multifunctional centers. If making an appointment is problematic, you are allowed to come without an appointment, take an electronic ticket and wait in line.
2. On the appointed day, you must show up with documents and hand them over to the MFC employee. The applicant will be given a receipt confirming that the documentation has been accepted. If there are any shortcomings in the documents, the specialist will tell you how to eliminate them.
3. Now all that remains is to wait for the passport to be ready and appear in person at the same office to receive it. You can find out about readiness by calling the number indicated on the receipt. Information about the status of documents is provided both by telephone and online. In addition, some branches offer an SMS alert service.

At the request of the applicant, the Center employee can prepare a special certificate for him. It will record the fact of submitting documents for passport renewal (FMS Order No. 391 of November 30, 2012). True, there is usually no special need for such a certificate. For example, taking out a loan, selling a car, going abroad and performing a number of other actions with it will not work.

When applying for an exchange, you need to remember that the passport holder must have permanent or temporary registration. If a person lives without a residence permit and is not registered anywhere even temporarily, the issuance of a passport will be refused. In addition, the violator will have to pay an administrative fine.

What documents are needed

In accordance with the Regulations “On the Passport of a Citizen of the Russian Federation”, adopted on July 8, 1997, the following documentation must be provided to exchange a passport:

1. Replaceable passport.
2. Application in form P1. If necessary, an MFC employee will help fill it out.
3. Receipt for transfer of state duty.
4. Two or three personal photographs in 35 x 45 mm format.
5. Marriage certificate.

Additional documentation may require a military ID, international passport, a certificate from the registry office about a change of personal data or gender, an extract from the house register (to affix a new registration stamp).

It is also necessary to take into account that the data from the old passport about marital status, children, and blood type will be transferred to the new document. In order for everything to be indicated correctly, it is necessary to prepare the appropriate evidence.

Photo requirements

Migration service employees have strict requirements for the quality of photographs. In this regard, special attention must be paid to preparing images. Here is the basic list of photo requirements:

• The photo must be clear and not blurry. It is acceptable to provide both color and black and white photos;
• The applicant must have casual hairstyle and no glasses. Wearing glasses is allowed only if a person wears them constantly;
• Photos must be taken with your head uncovered. The exception is the requirement to wear a head covering at all times for religious reasons.

There are also requirements for the background - only white is acceptable. There should be no people or foreign objects in the photo.

Time frame and cost of passport replacement

The standard period for preparing a passport is 10 working days. This period is also relevant for citizens who apply for a new identity card if the document is damaged or, for example, stolen.

Replacement periods within 30 days apply in cases where employees have to clarify some information additionally. If a person applies for a passport through an MFC in another city, he will have to wait longer - up to two months. But for Russians who live and work outside their place of registration (and there are many of them in the country), this is still a way out.

The cost of the service depends on the reason for the request. If a person has lost his passport, the fee for issuing a new one will be 1,500 rubles. In all other cases, a state duty of 300 rubles is paid.

Such cases include replacing a passport upon reaching a specified age, in connection with a change of gender, full name.

, date or place of birth, significant changes in appearance, as well as if errors are detected in the passport.

How long is the old passport valid?

The validity of the old passport upon reaching 20 or 45 is one month. At the age of 45, a passport is renewed for the last time. An identity document that was issued to a citizen at this age becomes unlimited.

Penalties for violating deadlines

Some Russians do not attach importance to the need to exchange their passports, but this is a big mistake. Considerable fines have been introduced for violation of deadlines, and the fine and the deadline for filing an application are closely interrelated.

Amounts may vary depending on the region and the period during which the delay occurred. Violators of the law are required to pay from 1,500 to 5,000 rubles, and this is not the limit. The exception is situations when people do not apply for a replacement document for valid reasons.

Why are they refusing to exchange passports?

Timely replacement of a passport is the right and responsibility of any Russian, and officials must have compelling reasons for refusal. The issuance of a new document may be refused in the following cases:

1. Providing incomplete information or false information.
2. The applicant’s withdrawal from Russian citizenship (or its deprivation).
3. Providing documents in an incomplete set.
4. Incorrect photo format.
5. Lack of evidence of payment of state duty.
6. Presence of gross errors in documents. It is also not allowed to submit documents drawn up in foreign languages.

In most cases, it is enough to correct the deficiencies and submit the documents again. The situation is more complicated if the applicant does not have Russian citizenship.

Obtaining it is a complex procedure that can take years.

When an applicant believes that a negative decision was made unlawfully, he has the right to write a complaint to the head of the GUVM unit or file a claim in court.

Exchanging a passport through the MFC is a simple and quick process that will not cause any difficulties. If the applicant has submitted all the required documents, the likelihood of refusal is practically excluded. The main thing is not to delay filing the application to avoid paying a fine.

What documents are needed to replace a passport at 45 years old in 2020: complete list

Russian legislation provides for two replacements of the passport of a Russian citizen received at the age of 14, associated with reaching a certain age. The first time a passport is changed is at age 20, just six years after receiving the first document.

If a person does not lose his document during this time, it does not become unusable for some reason, and the passport data (for example, last name) of the citizen does not change, then the next time it will be replaced in 25 years - at the age of 45. Renewing a passport at 45 years of age is mandatory for everyone, and this is the last such replacement due to age in a person’s life.

Let us remind you what documents need to be collected to replace a passport in connection with reaching 45 years of age in 2020, what is the deadline for submitting an application and the penalty for late replacement exists this year.

What is the deadline for submitting an application for a replacement passport at 45 years old, how to avoid getting a fine for an expired passport

Modern Russian passports were put into circulation in 1997, and it was then that government decree number 828 was issued, which regulates all issues related to the passport regime. Paragraph 15 of this resolution states that an application to replace a passport upon the occurrence of circumstances that require it must be submitted by a citizen within 30 days.

That is, if in our case such circumstances are turning 45 years old, then you need to submit an application and the necessary documents to replace your passport in 2020, as before, within 30 days after your birthday. There is no need to worry in advance; your application will simply be rejected before your birthday.

In 2020, those born in 1975 will need a passport replacement.

In January 2020, Russian citizens born in December 1974 will have time to submit an application and not receive a late fine. If you were born earlier and forgot or for some reason were unable to replace your passport on time, you will have to pay a fine.

What is the fine for living with an expired passport in 2020?

Fines and their amounts in Russia are described by the Code of Administrative Offences. Article 19.15 of the code provides for the following penalties for those who did not manage to replace their passport within 30 days after turning 20 or 45 years old:

• a fine of 2,000 to 3,000 rubles – for most Russian citizens,
• a fine of 3,000 to 5,000 rubles – for citizens living in the cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg.

The fine amounts are really not small, and they are designed to motivate people to change their expired passport on time.

Even if you still did not submit an application for a replacement passport on time and do not want to pay a fine, it is better to contact the Ministry of Internal Affairs with an application and submit the necessary documents to obtain a new passport.

Firstly, you will most likely be fined according to the minimum threshold, and not the maximum, as if the story with the overdue fine turns out to be somehow different.

Secondly, an expired passport is an invalid document, and in fact, you live without a passport at all, that is, if something happens, it turns out that you simply have nothing to present as your main document. Finally, thirdly, one day you will definitely have to pay the fine, but whether the Duma deputies will increase its amount is a big question.

Renewing a passport at 45 years old: what documents are needed in 2020

Similar to replacing your passport at age 20, at age 45 you may need a variety of documents. There is a minimum set that is mandatory for everyone, and there is also a list of documents that you may (or may not) have in connection with certain events that happened to you in your life.

So, the list of documents that must be provided when replacing a passport at the age of 45 in 2020, no matter what:

1. Old passport received earlier. An old document that has expired must be handed over to the police. Although this document has become a useless paper, still, in order to ensure that no one can misuse it in any way, order requires that you hand it in for destruction.
2. A copy of your birth certificate . This is the document that confirms the date and place of your birth. Despite the fact that all this information is in the old passport, it is still double-checked when a new document is issued.
3. Two photographs measuring 3.5x4.5 cm. The photographs must be taken according to fairly strict requirements, which are specifically described in the law, so it is better not to save money and contact a professional photo studio. Both color and black and white photographs are accepted. Those who, for religious reasons, cannot remove their headdress can be photographed wearing it, but their face must be clearly visible.

1. Details of the receipt confirming payment of the state duty. In theory, you cannot be required to prove that you have paid the fee, and this point is considered optional. However, just in case, it is still worth providing your details, this way your case will move faster, since the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not have to wait for confirmation of payment from the treasury.

Now about the documents that need to be provided to put special marks in the passport. You may have some of these documents, some you may not. But if you received anything from the list below, you must present the original and a copy of each such document:

• International passport.
• Marriage certificate.
• Divorce certificate.
• A birth certificate for each of your children who is not yet 14 years old (that is, for children who do not have their own passport).
• Military ID or other military registration document.

It is clear that at 45 years old the likelihood that you have many of the documents from this list is higher than at 20 years old. In general, the list of documents in both cases is no different; the legal requirements are the same.

What is the fee for replacing a passport at 45 years old in 2020?

The amount of state duty for obtaining a passport at 14 years old and replacing it at 20 and 45 years old is purely symbolic - 300 rubles .

If you have a bank card and registration on the State Services portal, you can save additional money and pay this fee on the portal with a 30 percent discount, paying only 210 rubles for replacing your passport. The same “Government Services” are one of those places where you can send your application for a passport replacement.

Where do you need to submit documents to replace your passport at 45 years old?

In principle, you need to understand that the replacement of a passport will be carried out by police officers who are responsible for such work. However, the possibilities of 2020 allow us to choose which option of sending our application and the necessary documents to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to replace a passport will seem more convenient. So, you can submit documents to the following places:

• Territorial body of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
• Multifunctional center (MFC) for the provision of public services.
• Internet portal “State Services”.

It is reasonable to choose between the territorial authority of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the MFC from the point of view of which institution is closest to you. Of course, in the MFC the atmosphere is traditionally more friendly and calm. But even in the territorial bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which deal with passport control, employees have become much more polite and efficient than before.

Many people prefer to submit documents to replace their passport at the MFC, since usually the queue at such centers is not so long and moves quite quickly.

If we talk about the “State Services” portal, then it is convenient to fill out an application form for a passport replacement, sitting calmly at the monitor at home. There you can pay the state fee with a good discount.

But keep in mind that you will have to visit the territorial office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in any case - first you will need to come at the appointed time to give the necessary documents and hand over your old passport, and then show up for the finished document. By the way, this can only be done in person; no representative of yours, even by proxy, will be able to obtain a passport for you.

If you live far enough from your place of registration, keep in mind that you have the right to apply for a replacement passport and receive a new document anywhere in the country. You must replace your passport at the place of application, no matter for what reasons you are applying to a department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that is not yours.

How long will it take to replace a passport?

The law gives the Ministry of Internal Affairs 10 days to issue a new passport, starting from the date of your application. If you submit documents at a location other than your place of registration, the period increases to 30 days .

Additional time is required for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make the required requests to the city where you are registered.

Just in case, you can ask the police for a temporary document that will confirm that you are at the stage of replacing your passport.

When submitting an application to replace your passport through “State Services”, remember that the countdown of 10 or 30 days will begin from the day when you personally bring the required package of documents to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

How long is the passport you receive at age 45 valid?

A passport received at the age of 45 is valid indefinitely . You will no longer need to change your document due to age, no matter how long you live.

A replacement passport may only be necessary if you lose it, or it becomes unusable, or for some reason your appearance changes significantly or your passport details change (the law mentions a large list of such circumstances - from changing your last name to changing your gender).
