Losing a passport is an unpleasant situation. Without this document, it is impossible to take out a loan, travel outside the country, get married, buy a SIM card, etc. But you can restore your lost passport. And not only to citizens of the Russian Federation (even if the document is lost in another city), but also to foreigners if they are in another country.
Where to go when losing a passport of the Russian Federation in your city
Anyone can lose a passport, but not everyone knows how to recover it later. In life, you need to be prepared for any situation. Therefore, you need to know where to go if you lose your passport, if such a situation has occurred. If you lose your document, you should immediately contact the nearest FMS department. There is written a statement of loss. In this case, it is necessary to indicate “I exclude theft”, since in this case the statement is written first to the police. If the passport is simply lost - you need to apply only to the FMS. An application is filled out on a special form, which is issued on the spot.
On the same day you can get a temporary certificate. Extradition is made within ten minutes after the submission of the application for loss. And also a certificate is issued confirming the delivery of all documents for a new passport.
If a passport is lost in another city - what should I do?
Often they ask where to apply for a loss of a passport in Moscow? The answer will depend on whether this city is a temporary residence for a citizen, or if it is located in it. The algorithms for doing so are slightly different. Where should I go if I lose my passport in another city, if I don’t have other documents with me? The situation is not rare. First you need to contact the police, where they write a statement of loss. A notification is issued in the department, which confirms that the citizen reported the loss of a passport.
After filing an application, the police begin an inspection, which can last from two to four weeks. During this time, a citizen must apply to the passport office for a temporary identity card. You can get it at any branch in the same city. The passportist will need proof of identity of this citizen. This can be done by a passport office employee remotely.
In addition to issuing a temporary certificate, an extract from the registration card is issued at the place of registration. A passportist can also make a request remotely and receive it by courier.
After the above actions, all others occur in the same way as with loss of passport in the hometown. If a citizen is traveling in another city and there is no time to wait for the issuance of a new document on the spot, then you can get a temporary certificate. After that, get a new passport at the FMS department, which serves the territory where it is registered or resides.
Where is the new passport issued after losing the old
If a citizen of the Russian Federation loses his passport, a new document is obtained at the FMS of Russia branch, which serves the territory:
- direct residence of a citizen, where he is registered;
- temporary residence or registration;
- the actual residence of a citizen even without registration.
With a statement for the issuance of a new document (due to its loss), you must immediately personally contact the office of the FMS of Russia.
Where to go when losing a passport of a foreign citizen in the territory of the Russian Federation
It is not uncommon that foreigners sometimes lose their passports abroad. And this becomes a big problem for them. Therefore, it is worth knowing in advance where to go if you lose your passport.If a foreign citizen has lost his document on the territory of the Russian Federation, then he must write a statement about this to the territorial police department. You need to apply to the one where the foreigner was registered with the migration, or to the police station at the place of registration or temporary residence.
After a statement written by a foreigner, a certificate is issued to him, which serves as confirmation of the loss of a passport. He needs to contact her at the consulate of his country for further restoration of the document.
What documents will be required to restore a passport
It happens that the identity card was lost. Predicting this moment is impossible. But in any case, it is better to know in advance where to apply for a passport loss and what documents are needed for this. To recover a lost ID you will need:
- a statement about the loss of a passport (indicate where, when and how it was lost);
- an application in the form of No. 1-P on the issuance of a new document (filled out manually or in typewritten text);
- 4 photos (35x45 mm);
- receipt of state duty;
- military ID (if available);
- birth certificate (including for children under 14 years old);
- documents confirming registration (certificate from the house administration);
- certificates of marriage and divorce (if any).
Deadlines for obtaining a new passport
A new passport instead of a lost one is issued no later than ten days after submitting the loss application in the event that in the territory served by the territorial branch of the FMS, a citizen has a permanent residence permit, and the lost document was issued in the same unit.
If there is no registration at the place of residence, then a new passport is issued within two months after the submission of all necessary documents. The exact same period will have to wait in the following cases:
- if the lost identity card was previously issued in another FMS unit;
- if the citizen has a temporary residence permit;
- if there is no registration at all.
In any case, the terms of issuing a new passport must be reported to the employee who accepted the application and all documents in case of loss of the previous passport. He must set the exact date and time of issue. If you wish, for a period while a new passport is being processed, you can take a certificate of delivery of documents for the manufacture of a new one or obtain a temporary certificate.
Where to go if your passport is stolen
Where to go when losing a passport, described above. If the document was stolen, you should start by writing a statement to the police. If a citizen lives in the same city, then he should contact the department at the place of residence. If it’s in another, then in the near future. But it’s worth knowing that the theft case can last quite a long time. And a loss check takes 4 weeks maximum. If you stole a passport, it will be more profitable to declare its loss. In this case, the old passport is simply canceled and a new one is issued. This saves a lot of time.
