How to change your passport at State Services

Please note that this is not a completely remote procedure. You can’t do without visiting the Ministry of Internal Affairs department. The procedure will not be quick and simple; it will require your personal time. But still, the ability to submit an application through the state portal greatly simplifies the procedure.

An application for a passport through State Services can only be submitted by an authorized user. You cannot send a request for another person; everyone must have their own account. As for the state fee for issuing a document, it is paid after confirmation of the application, that is, not immediately.

For example, let’s look at how to replace a passport at State Services at 45 years old:

1. Log in to the portal using your credentials. You need the service “Replacement of a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation”. You can find it in the list of services or through the search bar. A page will open that looks like this:

2. A list of reasons relevant for replacing the main document of a citizen of the Russian Federation will open. Choose the one you need. In this case, we choose a replacement upon reaching the age of 20 or 45 years.

A page with this service will open, on which you can see a detailed description of the procedure, the amount of the state fee, and the time frame for replacing the document after applying. After studying the information, you need to click the “Get service” button.

3. The system will open the survey to move the applicant to the section they need. Here the client once again indicates the reason for the replacement, then selects the place of receipt (by registration, by residence). Afterwards, the system indicates a list of required documents and prompts you to proceed to writing an application.

4. First you need to confirm your information. This is the country of birth, basic data, address of residence.

5. Next, the system will redirect to a page where you need to upload your own photo, you can take a selfie yourself. The main thing is that this photo should be like a passport photo, that is, without a smile, with a completely visible face, you need to look into the camera.

6. Finally, you need to indicate the data that is needed to put marks in the new passport. For example, if the applicant is married, you need to indicate the details of the other half. Information about parents and children is also entered here. Just fill out all the fields and submit your application for consideration.

List of documents

When you don’t have a passport, it often becomes necessary to issue some papers, certificates, etc. or confirm your identity. When various circumstances arise, different documents are applicable that replace the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation:

• old (USSR period) option, valid until the replacement date.
• international passport;
• temporary certificate;
• diplomatic or service passport;
• military ID.

However, the listed documents are capable of verifying the identity of the person possessing them and are used in carrying out certain actions. A citizen realizes the full scope of rights and opportunities only if he has a valid Russian passport.

A temporary identity card of a citizen of the Russian Federation instead of a passport is used for the period of replacement of the main document of a citizen of the Russian Federation, as well as during the absence of one due to theft, replacement, etc. Sometimes it is also called a temporary certificate. What does a temporary passport look like in the Russian Federation? It is a single form established by law with a photograph of the owner, indicating his data, the reason for the absence of the main document and the information contained in it.

It follows that the previously received document of the old sample retains its full legal force. It is valid until it is replaced due to the age of 20, as well as 45 years, or in case of loss, loss, theft, etc. If it is at the stage of replacement due to invalidity or is restored for some reason, another identification document in addition to the passport, it can help the interested person in resolving many issues.

The presence of such a stamp on the corresponding page means that the citizen is in reserve and in the event of military operations and state necessity will be called upon to defend the country.
