Where and how to pay the state fee for a foreign passport
Where to pay the state fee for a foreign passport? Before submitting a package of documents for obtaining a foreign passport, you must pay the state fee at any bank branch. Necessary actions:
- Fill out the receipt form (find online and print or take from the bank).
- Pass the form and payment amount to the cashier (or provide the cashier with the details: territorial department of registration, type of service, payer details).
The state fee for a foreign passport can also be paid through bank terminals. A bank employee will provide assistance in entering data in the terminal. If the payer is an active computer user, then you can transfer funds without leaving your home through the Sberbank service or the State Services portal.
If the applicant is under 18 years of age, the payment is made by his legal representative (parent, guardian, trustee). But the information on the receipt must be indicated not by the representative, but by the minor for whom the document is being drawn up.
The payment receipt will consist of two parts, one regulates the transfer of funds, the second is confirmation of payment. When paying at the bank's cash desk, the second part is returned to the payer. When you receive the second part of the receipt (notice), make sure that it contains a note from a bank employee about the payment made.
In addition, it should be remembered that the applicant for a foreign passport is required to deposit funds in person and only his personal data must be indicated on the receipt.

Today, for citizens of the Russian Federation, the procedure for obtaining a foreign passport 2021 is very simple. It consists of 4 steps:
- Collect the necessary documents
- Submit an application + documents (can be done online)
- Pay the state fee for a foreign passport (can also be done online)
- Get a passport.
Variations of these steps depend on whether you will order a foreign passport through State Services or through the MFC.
The procedure for obtaining a foreign passport when applying through State Services is very simple; for your convenience, we have outlined it as step-by-step as possible.
- Apply online . On the government services website you will need to select which passport you will order (new or old type). Then fill out a form indicating your personal data and information about your employment for the last 10 years (there should not be a single day of “downtime”; if you did not do anything for 2 days or were not officially employed, then write that you did not work). You will also need to attach your photo there; you can take a photo with a white background directly in the application, or upload it from the gallery. After uploading a photo, it will need to be calibrated by marks so that the face takes up 80% of the space. You will also need to select the branch closest to you to receive your passport.
- Payment of state duty . After checking the application (usually one or two business days), you receive an offer to pay the state fee, and they also set a date and time when you will need to come with documents for submission (and for the final photograph if you are applying for a new type of international passport). The same notice contains a complete list of documents that must be provided.
- Collect documents for a foreign passport : The main identification document of the applicant (passport) + photocopies of pages with a photo and registration address at the place of residence.
- Foreign passport, which has not expired + photocopy of the photo page. (This point is for those who receive a foreign passport not for the first time)
- Men of military age (from 18 to 27 years old) can bring a military ID + photocopies of pages 1, 3, 5, 7, 21.4. If you do not have a military ID, then you do not need to carry any registration or certificate. The FMS itself will make a request to the military registration and enlistment office.
- When changing your last name, first name, patronymic, confirming document + photocopy.
- Payment receipt. (By law, if you pay through State Services, then you do not need to provide a receipt for payment. But this is Russia, so just print out the receipt just in case.)
- Three photographs (3.5*4.5 cm) on matte paper (if you are applying for an old-style international passport)
In 2021, the cost of international passports has not changed and is 5,000 rubles, for a child under 14 years old - 2,500 rubles. An old-style international passport costs 2,000 rubles for an adult, 1,000 rubles for a child under 14 years old.
All state fees paid through State Services from the beginning of 2021 are no longer subject to a 30% discount. Please note that the cost of a passport for teenagers from 14 to 18 years old is the same as the cost of a passport for adults.
In what cases is a passport revoked:
- Your passport has expired
- When you change an old-style international passport with an unexpired validity period to a new old-style international passport.
- When you change your last name and receive a foreign passport.
Your current international passport will not be canceled only if you order the production of a new international passport in addition to your existing international passport. It doesn’t matter what type of passport you have. To receive a second international passport, you just need to check the box in the form that you are ordering an international passport in addition to the existing one.
In 2021, any citizen of the Russian Federation can receive a second passport in addition to the existing one , without providing any additional certificates.
To obtain a second international passport, the procedure is the same as when obtaining a primary international passport, but only in the application form you need to check the box “international passport in addition to the existing one.” The cost will be exactly the same (3,500 rubles, when paying through government services). But the validity period of a foreign passport will not be tied to the validity period of the first one and will be calculated according to the standard scheme - 10 years from the date of receipt.
You travel frequently and obtain visas. A situation can easily arise in which you need to leave, but your passport is at the consulate to receive a visa from another state. A second foreign passport solves this issue. Also, a second foreigner helps the traveler avoid problems when visiting countries at war with each other. If you have a long-term Schengen or American visa and you are worried that in the next two or three years you will simply run out of free pages. A second passport can be used for visa-free countries, and a passport with a visa can only be used for travel to Europe and the USA. In many countries (Montenegro, Serbia or Indonesia) they really like to put a stamp on a new spread, although it may be useful for the next visa. If your passport expires within the next two years, but there are still many valid visas. Now the second foreign passport is in no way connected with the first, these are two equivalent documents. The second document is issued for a period of ten years, so you can get a new passport now, start using it in visa-free countries, or even postpone it until you suddenly need it (and this is exactly what happens).
For adult Muscovites (over 18 years old):
- 2 copies of the application;
- receipt of payment of state duty;
- passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
- 3 photographs (you need to upload it electronically on the State Services website);
- previous passport (if it has not expired);
- military ID or certificate from the military registration and enlistment office (for men from 18 to 27 years old);
- permission from command (for military personnel);
- certificate of change of name (if changed).
Select the nearest MFC branch for you, where it is possible to issue a foreign passport (check with the operator), pay the state fee (details must be taken directly from the MFC branch), submit an application and attach all the necessary documents to it, wait for your application to be reviewed and pick up your passport at to the extent of its readiness.
The duration of production of a foreign passport of the old and new sample is the same. The timing depends only on whether you live at your place of registration or not.
- 1 month when submitting documents at the place of residence (as indicated in the passport);
- 3 months when submitting documents at the place of stay (not at the place of residence).
It is important to know that a passport can be issued faster in the following cases:
- the applicant is seriously ill and requires emergency treatment abroad;
- The applicant's close relative died abroad.
In these cases, the period for obtaining a passport should not exceed three working days from the date of submission of the application. But you will need documents confirming these circumstances.
If you have changed your last name, then you need to change your passport.
The replacement procedure is no different from the procedure for initially receiving the document, so you need to choose a convenient registration method in the same way, collect a package of documents (which must include the previous passport, if its validity has not expired), pay the state fee and submit an application.
Each resident of Russia can have two foreign passports. This is necessary if you are traveling to countries that are in conflict with each other, or at the moment when you have submitted your passport for a visa. Also, a second passport can be used by those who are going abroad for a long period, and the validity of the current passport expires in a year. Among other things, this option is suitable for avid travelers - you don’t have to worry about running out of pages in your passport.
The amount of state duty for a foreign passport of a new and old sample
The amount of state duty for the preparation of identification documents for traveling abroad is provided for in Art. 333.28 Tax Code. The final amount of the state duty depends on the data provided:
- applicant's age;
- type of international passport (biometric or regular).
Ordering a new passport will cost:
- for citizens over 14 years old – 5,000 rubles;
- children (up to 14 years old) – 2500 rub.
When receiving an old-style international passport, the cost will be:
- for persons over 14 years old – 2000 rubles;
- for children under 14 years old – 1000 rubles.
Citizens living in the Kaliningrad region do not pay the state fee for obtaining a foreign passport. Residents of the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol who have received Russian citizenship do not pay the state fee for registration under the following conditions:
- the first request for the creation of such a document;
- possession of a valid Ukrainian passport.
How much is the state duty?
The cost of the state duty for a new 2017 international passport differs from the old counterpart and is for citizens:
- over 14 years old – 3500 rubles;
- for those under fourteen years of age – 1,500 rubles.
To obtain an old-style international passport, persons 14 years of age and older must pay 2,000 rubles, and those under this age – 1,000 rubles. That is, the cost of a new document is 40% higher than the old one for adults and 20% for children. But a biometric passport has an advantage because its validity period is ten years, unlike the old version of a foreign passport, which is only valid for five years
. In addition, for making changes to the old-style international passport in the children column, you will need to pay 500 rubles. A biometric passport does not provide such data, since a separate document is issued for the child, valid for 3 years.
One of the conditions for obtaining a foreign passport, along with providing the necessary package of documents, is the payment of a state fee or state duty. In addition to the amount of the mandatory payment, many Russians are interested in the question of how to make the payment and where it can be done, since the absence of a money transfer can lead to refusal to issue a foreign passport
.
Please note that untimely transfer of funds may be due to incorrect filling out of the receipt form or entering incorrect bank details into it.
Considering the fact that the number of people wishing to obtain a foreign passport is increasing every year, the topic of paying state fees is quite relevant.
According to the law, a receipt for payment of the state fee does not need to be submitted to the FMS along with other documents when applying for a foreign passport. Employees of government agencies check the receipt of payment independently, so the main thing in paying the fee is not the proof of the action performed, but its actual implementation
This rule can be explained this way: if the form is filled out incorrectly, the payment will be made in the wrong direction. On the one hand, the payer seemed to have made the payment, but on the other hand, the money went to the wrong account
. To avoid such misunderstandings, departments providing public services additionally check the receipt of funds to the account of the Federal Migration Service.
Duty Payment Options
As a rule, citizens make most of their payments through Sberbank branches or terminals. How to pay the state fee for a foreign passport? In case of payment through a bank, the payer gives the cashier a completed receipt and the necessary funds, and in exchange receives confirmation of the transfer.
The terminals are also quite convenient, if only because there is no need to fill in the details, the system will do it automatically. A bank employee can help you understand the terminal and find the necessary payment options. Upon completion of the operation, the terminal will issue a receipt, which will serve as confirmation of payment.
But this is not the only way. You can make a payment online or through the State Services portal (if this option is available in the region).
Paying state fees through State Services is not only convenient, but also less expensive, since the service offers a 30% discount on non-cash payments.
Payment can be made only after authorization in the system. In addition, it is necessary to submit an application for the creation of a foreign passport through this service.
After filling out personal data, the system generates a request to order a foreign passport and offers to pay the state fee. After the payment is made, the applicant has the opportunity to track the stage of consideration of documents online (in his personal account).
Payment of state duty through the Sberbank Online service includes the following steps:
- Authorization of a new user (if the payer is not yet registered).
- Search for the “Payment and Payments” tab.
- Select the “Taxes, duties, budget payments” column.
- In services, click “Passports, visas...”, then “State fees: passport...”.
- A card will appear on the screen with the payment and description of the transaction listed.
- The payer fills in personal passport information and completes the payment.
At the end of the procedure, the user will be prompted to save the receipt or print it.
Are discounts possible when paying?
Depending on how exactly you plan to pay the state fee via the Internet, citizens have the opportunity to receive a discount. Let's take a closer look at the most popular options.
Through Sberbank online
To be able to make a payment in this way, you must initially register a personal account on the Sberbank website online - if it does not exist. To enter your personal account, you must provide your personal login and password.
After specifying personal information, login to the Sberbank client’s personal account online will be initiated.
The further sequence of actions in 2021 is as follows:
At the top of the page | You need to select the category “Payments and transfers” |
After going to the category, you should scroll down the page and select your region of residence | After this, it becomes necessary to select “Federal Migration Service” |
At the next stage you will need to select the subcategory “Select a service” | Indicate your desire to pay the state fee for a passport |
In the future, you will need to indicate a bank card or bank account details | To write off funds in the established amount and select the type of passport |
In the “Receipt generated” field, you will need to make a note regarding which authority you plan to submit the full package of documents to in the future.

At the next stage, double-click the mouse to click on “Continue” | Make a payment of the appropriate amount |
It is extremely important to pay attention to the fact that the state duty receipt is provided solely on the personal initiative of the applicants.
In the absence of a paid receipt, the authorized state body immediately refuses to accept the documents.
It is important to remember that if you pay online through Sberbank, you cannot receive a discount - you will have to pay in full.
Are there any differences in the receipt for a new and old type of foreign passport?
First of all, the differences relate to the amount of duty. The state fee for obtaining a new type of international passport will require more money, since it will have a built-in biometric chip and its production is a labor-intensive process.
In addition, differences in the receipt will also concern the description of the payment transaction. For a receipt for a new type of international passport, it will be indicated “for biometric”, and for an old type – “for payment of the old type of international passport”.
Differences will also be present in the KBK digital code. There is one BCC for adults, and another for children (under 14 years old).

Forms, samples and receipts for international passports
The amount of the state fee for obtaining a foreign passport varies depending on several factors, one of which is the type of document.
Currently, the Main Directorate for Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia is issuing two types of international passports:
- old document
- new biometric passport
The main distinguishing characteristics in addition to the cost of the document are:
- the presence in the document of a new sample of the owner’s biometric data, which almost completely eliminates the possibility of forgery. In addition, the presence of biometric data is a mandatory condition when entering a number of countries.
- number of pages. There are 36 of them in the old passport, and 46 in the new form of the document. Additional pages are intended for affixing visas, which allows you to travel more using one document
- validity. Old passports are issued for 5 years. The validity period of the new document is 10 years;
- information about children. It is not possible to indicate the details of a minor citizen in new passports. It is possible to enter a child in the old passport
Which passport should I choose? When choosing a form of foreign ID, it is recommended to consider the following factors:
- applicant type . For a child under 14 years of age, it is more advisable to issue an old passport, since if the appearance changes, the document will need to be replaced, regardless of its validity period
- travel frequency . If you plan to constantly travel outside the Russian Federation, it is better to apply for a new passport. This will avoid hasty replacement due to the end of document pages.
- deadlines for registration . If you need to receive a document quickly, an old-style passport is produced. The production of biometric passports is carried out exclusively by Gosznak, which leads to delays due to the need to deliver the document to the regions
If the applicant is over 14 years old, the cost of the document will be:
- 5,000 rubles (new sample passport) or 2,000 rubles (old sample passport) when paying through banks, ATMs and terminals, payment systems
- 2,500 rubles and 1,000 rubles, respectively, if payment is made at a discount through the Public Services portal

- through ATMs operated by banks. For payment, you can also use funds from a bank card or cash. The commission is determined additionally. Payment without commission is available through Sberbank ATMs
- via terminals . As a rule, payment is made using a bank card and, less often, an electronic wallet. When making a payment there will be a commission, the amount of which is set by the payment system serving the terminal
- through MFC . If documents for obtaining a foreign passport are submitted at a multifunctional center, then you can pay the state fee directly through a specialist from the institution
- Online:
- through online banking system . Payment fees are not charged when using the Sberbank online system. When choosing other systems, the commission amount is determined by the bank
