How to apply for a passport

















Registration of a foreign passport todayOnly the migration service is authorized to deal with it; diplomatic foreign passports can also be issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but the range of persons receiving the services is, of course, very limited. Accordingly, information about the queues in the FMS is not exaggerated, because in addition to all a few years ago, Russia refused to pass the "old" model in favor of biometric. And if earlier the document was done for three days, now it's a month. Having collided with the onslaught of citizens, the FMS first introduced pre-recording logs, then as an experiment, electronic queues, and in 2008, and thanks to government support, they created the Public Services portal. Today, you can sign up for the registration of a new generation of foreign passports: - by phone, - through departmental websites, - via the Internet (gosuslugi.ru).

Internet Recording

In fairness, it must be said thatpreliminary Internet registration does not work in all subjects, and the telephone service operates poorly. There are several reasons. Firstly, the crooked citizens realized that for recording it is necessary to name only the name and choose the time, it is not included in the competence of the employees of the departments for the design of foreign passports to establish the identity of the caller, and therefore nothing interferes with enrolling several times, and then sell the queue to those who wish. Secondly, to realize the electronic queue so that it is integrated with the Internet queue is extremely difficult and costly. Such projects were implemented only by the metropolitan departments. To record, you need to enter the site of the Office of the region where you will draw up a passport, select the "Service" tab or "Record at the reception" and fill out the form by entering the name, year of birth, type of service, and choose the time to visit from the proposed time.

State Service Website

To sign up for a passport throughportal of the State Service, you need to have a registration on it. To do this, the personal cabinet is formed, and the login and password are activated using the code that the RTC (website administrator) sends by registered mail. After registration a whole set of services is available not only through the FMS line. You need to select the "FMS Services" tab, then - "Making an International Passport". The system will offer to fill out a questionnaire for obtaining a document, you will have to enter personal data, information about work experience, as well as about previously issued passports. Only after that the e-mail will receive an invitation to an employee of the FMS. At the same time you do not have to choose the time of reception, it will be determined for you. If it is not convenient, it will not be possible to transfer or change it.
