Each child of fourteen years of age under the laws of the Russian Federation must receive a passport. From this age, the birth certificate ceases to certify the identity of the child, and therefore the receipt of the first adult document cannot be delayed until the last moment and you must immediately begin collecting documents for subsequent submission to the FMS.
This is one of the important steps in the life of a teenager, because getting a passport at the age of 14 means entering a new adult life.
Features of the procedure
The main difference between obtaining a passport and the procedure for replacing photographs in it is that you have to document citizenship. Otherwise, extradition will be refused. In order to receive such paper, parents or guardians should contact the HOA or the management company with a statement of the corresponding sample. In some cases, the FMS when applying for documents may require copies of the passports of the parents, which will also be proof of the citizenship of the teenager.
Recently, there is a practice when citizenship of the child indicated on the back of the birth certificate. If there is one, then only a certificate from the place of registration is needed.
It should be remembered that upon reaching the age when, according to the law, a teenager must obtain a passport (at the age of 14), one month is given to collect all the papers for circulation at the IFS. Therefore, in order to avoid problems, you should keep within this time.

Then the FMS should clarify the documents that can be provided instead of a certificate.

The law provides that a fourteen year old child must have a passport. But what if the trip was planned and the document is not ready yet? In this case, you should contact the migration service, which, upon application, will issue a temporary document to identify the teenager.
Typically, verification of documents and the production of a passport takes 10 days, but the time may be up to 60 days. Obtaining a 14-year-old passport in Moscow, provided that registration is also local, is possible in just a week.
