When do I change the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation? This question is few for anyone remains a mystery. And all this because the corresponding replacement mark is in the document itself - on the last page. But not every citizen will study it. Therefore, sometimes the question arises when to change the passport (civilian). To answer it definitely will not work. Situations may be different. Nevertheless, now we will try to deal with this topic. All possible options, as well as a list of documents for replacement are presented to our attention.
According to the age
The first scenario is a replacement by age. This is a mandatory process, and it is carried out 2 times in a lifetime. What time do I change my passport? At 20 and at 45 years old. It's all. True, you still need to initially obtain the corresponding identification document at 14. Nothing difficult, right?
Honestly, the list of documents here is quite small. And just replacing a passport by age brings the least trouble. In any case, it is necessary to prepare for it in advance. But more on that later.
Marriage
When do I change my passport yet? For example, after the marriage. And this applies mainly to women or to a spouse who decided to change her last name. In this case, it doesn’t matter how old you are - 19, 20 or 30. All the same, you must apply for a new passport within a month after marriage.
One minus of this system is that if you are not yet 20 years old (that is, you have not been replaced by age), you will have to go through a passport replacement twice. And no matter how much you go with the new data - a few days, almost a year or a month. In any case, an appropriate replacement will be required. Not very convenient, but such a perspective holds true.
Divorce
So, how much do you change your passport in Russia? After all, in addition to this, there are situations that require the early replacement of an identity document. As we have already found out, the first case is marriage. And it relates mainly to the female half of the population. The second point that will have to be taken into account is the replacement during a divorce.
The thing is that this process does not always require a change in civil passport. If you leave a surname, it will be enough to enter information on a divorce in the document (put a stamp). But when you return the old data, you will have to organize the process of replacing the passport "in full." In principle, practice shows that you will not have any special problems with proper preparation. We will talk about what documents are needed a little later.
Loss / damage
How much they change the passport in Russia, we already understood. As you can see, here the answer can be given in several interpretations. By age, you must submit an application at 20 and 45 years. All other replacements are not so important. But if you have any individual situation, you do not need to delay the process.
In addition to the options already listed, a passport is changed in case of loss or damage. Quite a rare phenomenon, but it has a place to be. So keep that in mind. Unpleasant news for those who have lost their identity document: you will have to pay a fine before submitting a request. Without it, you can’t even try Recover your passport. You still will not accept the application.
Where to go
In what years they change their passport, we have already figured out. But now where exactly is it worth going for this document? The answer is extremely simple. You must go to the FMS in your area (at the place of registration). To be precise, you will need a passport office.
This is where the issuance and replacement of civil passports takes place.With all the documents prepared in advance, you should contact a special office. There you will be given a statement of the established form, which is filled out by hand independently. Not completely, but partially. A sample is usually posted in the lobby.
Do not forget to say for what reason you are changing your passport. The thing is that the statements in all cases are somehow different from each other. Therefore, do not forget to mention the reason for replacing a civil passport. Otherwise, you have to rewrite the statement. And such "events" are highly discouraged by the staff of the FMS and the passport office.
List of documents
When you change your passport, it’s already clear. But what is needed for this? What kind of documents are required in a particular case? In principle, replacement documents are not much different. Rather, the general list is complemented by something new. Thus, before contacting the FMS, prepare the originals and copies of the following list of securities:
- old passport;
- birth certificate (optional, but desirable);
- birth certificates of all your children;
- marriage / divorce documents;
- check on the payment of state duty (300 rubles for 2016);
- a check on the payment of a fine (in case of loss / damage of a passport, 2,000 rubles);
- arrival / departure sheets (issued at the passport office);
- statement;
- explanatory (in case of loss / theft / damage to the document);
- photos (4 pieces, size 3 by 4).
In principle, that’s all. After you have on hand all of the listed documents with copies, you can safely go to the FMS and submit a request for a new passport. This is not so difficult to do. After about a month (sometimes earlier), you can come with any ID and get your new document. In fact, if you correctly approach the solution of the question, it will not bring any inconvenience. Of course, you do not need to change your passport after marriage when staying in your “honeymoon” - you will have a month to complete the task. And the rest is not worth the delay.
