The USSR passport is not such a rarity today. Not everyone found the time to change it for a Russian passport. Perhaps you have already faced various problems more than once: according to such a document, they will not sell plane or train tickets, they will refuse to open a bank account. And if the passport is expired, then its exchange becomes extremely necessary.
It is necessary
- - application for the replacement of the passport;
- - passport of a citizen of the USSR;
- - 2 photos;
- - certificate of registration at the place of residence
- - a receipt for payment of the state duty.
Instructions
Step 1
To change the USSR passport for the Russian passport, check if you permanently resided in Russia on February 6, 1992. If you have such facts (were registered at that time in Russia, studied at an educational institution, worked in the territory of the Russian Federation, about which there is information in the work book, etc.), then you are a citizen of the Russian Federation and can apply for a passport exchange …
Step 2
In addition to the USSR passport itself, you need to bring 3 photographs (color or black and white does not matter). In the FMS at the place of registration or residence, write an application for a replacement passport. Pay the state fee at any bank.
Step 3
If you have a family, bring your marriage certificate (or divorce) and birth certificates for your children. Persons liable for military service must provide a military ID. Get a certificate from the passport office about where you are registered. If you have ever changed your last name or first name, you must bring documents confirming this fact.
Step 4
In the event that in 1992 you did not reside permanently on the territory of Russia, which means you do not have Russian citizenship, you will not be able to exchange your old passport for a new one. Use the help of FMS employees or a lawyer to determine if you are a stateless person or a citizen of another state. Then you need to start the procedure for obtaining Russian citizenship.
Step 5
Depending on the citizenship you have, determine whether you qualify for the simplified system of obtaining citizenship, and in what time frame you will be able to issue your new status and exchange your passport. Additional documents may be required to obtain citizenship. Consult with an FMS employee and collect them. After successfully obtaining citizenship, you will be automatically issued a Russian passport.
