Payment of the state fee for a foreign passport through State Services: rules and procedures, required documents and cost of the service

How much does a biometric document cost for 10 years?

State duty is required to be paid . The fee for obtaining a biometric document is 3,500 rubles. If you are drawing up a document for a child, you will have to fork out 1,500 rubles. The amount of the state fee for the production of a biometric foreign passport for a period of 10 years exceeds the cost of payment for obtaining an old-style document by exactly 1,500 rubles.

Sometimes a state fee is called a tax, but you should know that this is a mistake - it refers to fees, not taxes.

How much does it cost to obtain a passport in 2021?

For issuing a new passport (containing an electronic storage medium), the fee will be:

for persons over 14 years old – 5000 rubles;
for children under 14 years old – 2500 rubles.

For issuing a passport for 5 years (old sample):

for citizens over 14 years old – 2000 rubles;
for a minor under 14 years old – 1000 rubles.

A foreign passport will be cheaper for those who submit an electronic application for its registration and pay for it on the Unified Government Services Portal. In this case, the state duty for a new generation passport, taking into account a 30% discount, will be:

for citizens over 14 years old – 3500 rubles;
for a child under 14 years old – 1750 rubles.

When applying for an old-style passport:

for citizens over 14 years old – 1400 rubles;
for children under 14 years old – 700 rubles.

Residents of the Kaliningrad region and Crimea are exempt from paying the state duty for issuing a foreign passport. The latter - subject to the initial application in the status of citizens of the Russian Federation for obtaining a foreign passport and who at the time of filing the application had a valid passport of a citizen of Ukraine for traveling abroad.

Where can I get the details?

To pay the state fee, it is not enough to know the amount that must be paid. Certain details are required where exactly this amount should be paid. Codes of budgetary organizations are far from the only nuance that can also confuse citizens. Therefore, you must take the correct details.

Most often, citizens apply for a foreign passport to the nearest department of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs . Some people prefer to use the government services portal, while others prefer personal appearance. In both cases, you must contact the Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is located in the place of residence closest to you.

Go to the website of this department or appear in person. Authority employees are required to give you a sheet with details, dictate it over the phone or send it by email. You can also see the details of your particular department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on the website dedicated to the regional department.

Making a receipt

A receipt is a document confirming the fact of payment , which is issued to the citizen immediately after depositing funds. Such a document has its own established form number PD-4SB.

The receipt is divided into two parts.
The words “notice and cashier” are indicated in the upper left column.
On the right side, the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is indicated, which is responsible for issuing your document, and using the details of which you made the payment.
What follows are all the details that were assigned to this institution.
The payer's initials, his residential address, and Taxpayer Identification Number are indicated.
The amount is indicated.
The citizen puts his signature and date.
At the bottom, all information is repeated.
The word “notice” is changed to “receipt”.

One part of the document is transferred to the Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the other remains with the citizen as proof that he made the payment.

Step-by-step instructions on how to pay

So, when we found out how much the price of a “foreigner” for 10 years is, it’s time to figure out what methods of payment there are and which one should be used to get a discount.

At a bank branch

Most often, when it comes to paying the state fee for obtaining a passport, citizens tend to carry out this procedure in person. To do this, they rush to the branch of the nearest banking organization.

It is worth knowing a few rules that will help you complete the procedure quickly, and most importantly, without errors.

It is important that the bank is well-known, reliable, and does not charge additional fees to citizens .

Options for paying state duty for a foreign passport

Via bank

It would be optimal to make payment in the city where you plan to apply for a passport

The very first option that comes to mind when you need to pay a state fee is to transfer funds through a bank.

You can pay the fee for issuing a foreign passport only through Sberbank. Other banks will not make such payment.

The modern system involves the transfer of state duty funds to the regional office of the Federal Migration Service.

It would be optimal to make the payment in the city where you plan to apply for a passport to travel abroad.

Due to the fact that a bank employee may not have the necessary details, it is recommended to contact the bank branch with all the necessary details. The notification form and receipt for payment of the state duty can be obtained on the official Internet resource of the Federal Migration Service, or directly to the Federal Migration Service office.

After checking the details and receiving the money, the bank employee will stamp the cash register on the form. Some branches of Sberbank, where they accept payment of the state fee for issuing a foreign passport, may issue a check order rather than a receipt. This confirmation of payment is accepted without problems by the Federal Migration Service.

Via terminal

The majority of citizens applying for passports to travel abroad of the Russian Federation prefer to make payments through terminals. The obvious advantage of this method is the timely updating of payment details.

Where can you find them:

Terminals for making payments are now present in many branches of the Federal Migration Service.
You can find them in most large shopping centers and in crowded and high-traffic areas.

After the payment has been made, the machine will issue a receipt, which must be attached to the package of documents when submitted to the FMS office.

Online banking

You can pay the state tax using the Sberbank-Online service.

During this transfer, the funds are transferred to another account, so the procedure is usual:

You can pay the state tax using the Sberbank-Online service
Go through the authorization procedure in the personal section of the Sberbank-Online Internet service.
Go to the "Payment and Payments" section.
Next, “Payments to the budget.”
Select the required one from the list.
Fill out the form that opens. Indicate the necessary details, the payer, select the card number from which payment will be made, etc. It is important to fill out the “Sender” column correctly, even if the document is issued for a child, you must indicate his full name.
Confirmation of payment occurs according to the usual service scheme - by confirmation with a code sent to the phone number.

As confirmation, you can print the receipt offered by the online portal. If it is not possible to print it yourself, then by number you can get a receipt at the nearest Sberbank branch.

Through the portal “State Services”

Now citizens of the Russian Federation have the opportunity to pay the fee for issuing a foreign passport using the electronic government services service. Payment of the state fee must be made before submitting documents, so we have introduced the ability to transfer money online.

This transfer is confirmed by an online receipt. It can be printed, but according to Article 333.18 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation and government services regulations, when an application for a foreign passport was submitted through government services, it is not necessary to provide proof of payment.

How can you prove that you paid?

Only a receipt can confirm that a citizen has paid the state fee . It must be attached to the general package of papers for a biometric passport.

However, if a citizen paid the fees via the Internet, he can attach a printed receipt as evidence. Also, confirmation of payment can be a receipt issued by the terminal. If a person paid for the receipt under a power of attorney, it is necessary to provide a power of attorney, as well as a payment document.

Is it possible to make a refund?

If you change your mind about applying for a passport, the amount can be refunded in full or in part. This can happen in the following situations.

If, when depositing funds, you deposited a larger amount than required.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs refused to issue you a document.
You yourself have changed your mind about drawing up the document.

In order to carry out the return procedure, you need to contact the immediate head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, preferably with a written application.

It must be in any form. Once your application has been reviewed, a decision on whether to return will be made.

Price, how much does it cost?

The cost of the state fee has changed this year, although it remains fixed throughout the entire Russian Federation (for old-style passports): you must pay 1 thousand for a child; for an adult pay one more, i.e. 2 thousand rubles.

We emphasize that the adult rate is paid by all persons over 14 years of age, and this applies to any document in this direction.
