What documents are needed for passport of a minor

The presence of their own passports, the child has obvious benefits when travelling abroad. For example, the family will not be spoilt by the stay if one of the adults needs to go to Russia on business. Prior to the collection of documents for registration of the passport you need to decide what kind of document you want to receive: old or new model.

What better passport for a child

The presence of a child upon delivery of the documents for a passport is not required. But when issuing a passport the child has attained 14 years of age, must be personally present to FMS of Russia for signing of documents.

You can exercise your civil right to choose between the two types of documents for travel abroad. The old model passport with a validity of 5 years and the passport of the new generation with a validity of 10 years. Advantages of obtaining a biometric passport are:
- the ability of an application through the portal "public Services" from the comfort of home;
- getting passport in a separate queue;
- if the guards are loyal, the validity of 10 years, of course, more attractive;
- expedited passport control.

The old passport is a significant advantage - it is cheaper. The state fee for issuance of the passport of the old sample child up to 14 years old is 4 times lower of the state duty for the issuance of biometric passports. The five-year validity of the old passport is more suited for a teenager than a passport in ten years, because children grow and change in appearance. There is a possibility that the guards might warn of the need to replace the document within two to three years after obtaining the passport of the child.

If both parents have biometric passports for convenience to travel better if the whole family will be the passport of the same type. At many border crossings there are separate corridors for holders of biometric passports. Would be a shame not to take a chance to avoid the tedious waiting at passport control. The lists of documents for registration of minor child of the international passport of the old sample and the passport of the new generation differ only in the way of filling of the application form. For obtaining a passport of the old sample application form is filled in by hand, and to obtain a biometric passport need to fill out the electronic version of the document, a sample of which is posted on the website of the FMS of Russia and in the portal "public Services".
