How to obtain a certificate of previously issued passports at the MFC

Reasons for changing your passport

A passport replacement will be needed in the following cases:

• Planned replacement at 20 and 45 years;
• You decided to change your last name, first name, patronymic, including due to marriage;
• If there were errors in the passport, for example, the wrong date or place of birth was entered;
• The passport was stolen or damaged;
• Gender change;
• Significant change in the owner’s appearance;

It will not be possible to replace your passport through the MFC if:

• Passport stolen;
• Passport lost;
• You are receiving for the first time, but you are already 18 years old;
• An incapacitated or partially capable person receives a passport;

In the situations listed above, you must contact directly the department of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at your place of residence. The easiest way is to call the single police number - 102, explain the situation, and they will tell you what address you need to go to in order to receive or restore your passport.

Cost and terms

A new passport is issued within 10 days if the documents are submitted at the place of residence. In other cases, the procedure will take a month.

When processing through the MFC, 6 working days are added to the deadlines necessary for the “transfer” of documents between the center and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Be wary of offers to obtain a passport “faster” - these deadlines are established by law and cannot be reduced.

An important question is how much does it cost to change a passport? The state duty is 300 rubles. If you lose or damage the “main document”, you will have to pay 1,500 rubles. When paying through a single web portal for government services, a 30% discount is provided; the cost will be 210 or 1050 rubles, respectively. In this case, the invoice comes to your personal account. The replacement procedure is given 30 days to “start” - if the application is not submitted within this period, the citizen is subject to a fine of 2,000 to 5,000 rubles, depending on the region.

Where can I change my passport?

To replace your passport, it is most convenient to use the services of the nearest MFC (the current list of MFCs is presented on our website).

"Be carefull! Using an expired passport is expensive - from 2 to 5 thousand rubles. This administrative measure is intended to encourage citizens of the Russian Federation to be more vigilant about their main document.”

Application for a passport change through the State Services portal

You can also submit an application to replace your passport on the website gosulugi.ru by filling out the appropriate electronic form there, after which you will need to pay the state fee. When your application is considered, you will be given an appointment at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to which you will need to appear with a package of documents already prepared, where it will be checked and the deadline for the production of a new document will be indicated.

The new passport will be ready in 10 - 30 days after applying to the MFC. If you contacted the MFC at your place of residence, then you will have a new passport in 10 days, if not, then in 30. These deadlines are not the whim of the MFC employees. They are prescribed by law. Therefore, if someone suggests replacing your passport faster, you should be wary of this. Most likely these are intruders. Possessing an illegally obtained passport can lead to serious problems with the law.

"Note! A passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation is the main document identifying a citizen of the Russian Federation, so its absence even for 10 days can cause certain problems; to avoid them, it is best to order a temporary identity card. This document is especially relevant if you are planning long trips while waiting for your passport. A temporary certificate is issued only by the Ministry of Internal Affairs; the MFC will not be able to provide such a document.”

• FULL NAME.,

The issuance of passports is included in the competence of the Main Directorate for Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.

Responsibility for missing the deadline for passport exchange

The first thing that is important to know is liability for violating exchange deadlines. If within 30 days from the date of turning 20 or 45 years old, a citizen does not apply for a passport, he will be subject to administrative liability in the form of a fine (Part 1 of Article 19.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

Its size varies from 2,000 to 3,000 rubles. However, for residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg, a higher fine is established, the amount of which ranges from 3,000 to 5,000 rubles. taking into account the “duration” of the delay.

How to replace your passport upon reaching 45 years of age

For 2021, 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.

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 2021. 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.

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.

Who has the right to replace a document through the MFC at the age of 45?

A citizen who has turned 45 years old is required to change his passport. Moreover, after replacement, its validity will be indefinite. It is also necessary to replace the document in the following cases:

• presence of inaccuracies in the existing passport;
• change of gender by a person;
• significant changes in appearance;
• changing the existing surname and other data;
• document damage, wear or loss.

These grounds are established by clause 12 of the Regulations “On the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation”. Clause 15 of the same act indicates the need to submit the required documents within 30 days from the date of 45 years.
