What documents are needed for passport

Before you know the list of documents that are required to provide to the FMS to obtain a passport, you must determine the type of passport. Because in Russia there are two. What kind of passport are you going to get?

The types of passports

In accordance with the decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated 19.10.2005 № 1222 of the international passport of new generation, containing electronic data carriers issued to the citizens at their request from January 1, 2006.

Until 2006, the Russian Federation has issued only one type of passport to travel out of the country. The validity of the passport of the old sample was five years. Since January 2006, Russia introduced the use of the passport of the new generation, equipped with a microchip. The chip stores the personal data on the passport holder, allows remote transmission of this information and greatly accelerates the procedure of identity verification at border crossings. Biometric passports have a number of objective flaws, so they do not have the receipt. Citizens retained the right of choice between the old model passport with a validity of 5 years and a passport of a new generation with a validity of 10 years.

The advantages of the passport of the old sample:

The cost is lower than a biometric passport. The state duty for issuance of a passport for an adult is 1000 rubles state duty for issuance of a passport to a child is 300 rubles.

You can make in the passport information about her children to travel with them abroad without issuing personal passports.

When leaving the country with a visa regime for the passport holder and his children are issued a visa.

The shortcomings of the passport of the old sample:

The period of validity of 5 years. The replacement document will have to perform twice as often than the owner of a biometric passport.

No opportunity to apply electronically through the website of state Services. Only by personally visiting office of the FMS.

Passports and passport control takes place on a common basis.

The advantages of the passport of the new generation:

The period of validity of 10 years. Communication with the staff of the FMS occurs in two times less than that of the owner of the old passport.

To apply for the document without leaving the house, through the site "public Services".

Passports and passport control in separate queues.

Passport control is less than that of the owner of an ordinary passport.

On 4 January 2013 entered into force the decree of the President of the Russian Federation of 29 December 2012 № 1709, according to which the chip is allowed preservation of image papillary patterns of two fingers.

The shortcomings of the passport of the new generation:

High cost. The state duty for issuance of a passport for an adult is 2500 rubles state duty for issuance of a passport to a child is 1200 RUB.

Even when applying through the portal "public Services" need to come to the Department of FMS to take pictures on a special camera.

Add information about children. Passports for children will have to register separately.

If the child is very young, then soon the guards will require you to replace the passport, and this is an additional cost.
