New generation passports allow their owners to go through customs and border control faster, because all information is contained directly in the microchip, which is embedded on the first page of the document.
In the passport of the new sample, not only the number of pages has been increased, but also the level of protection against counterfeiting has been increased. In addition, the document is now issued immediately for 10 years, so there is no need to worry about the imminent expiration date of the passport. First of all, in order to obtain a new passport, you must fill out an application for a biometric document. The application is a regular 2-page questionnaire. In addition to the usual data (name, date and place of birth, etc.), it is necessary to enter information about places of work or military service for the last ten years. Working citizens must certify the questionnaire with the head or accountant of their organization, the unemployed (including pensioners) provide a questionnaire without the organization's stamp. You can get such an application form either at the local FMS office or download it on the official website. Attach 2 of your photographs to the application, a receipt for payment of the state duty, the original and a copy of the work book, a military ID (for men of draft age) or a certificate from the military registration and enlistment office. If earlier small children could be entered in the passport, now it will be necessary to issue a separate passport for each child. When applying for a passport for children under 14 years old, a birth certificate and a document confirming the presence of Russian citizenship are provided. Minor children over 14 years old instead of a birth certificate provide a passport, including a foreign one, if its validity has not yet expired. To save time, use the Internet portal "Government Services". Register on the portal and fill out an application on the website page. Bring the required documents at the appointed time. A month later (or even earlier), you will receive a passport if you issued it at the place of registration. Otherwise, registration may take 3-4 months. Therefore, it is worth taking care of obtaining the document in advance if you are planning a trip.
