How to make an old-style international passport through public services

Currently, you can register an old-style passport through the State Services. This option greatly facilitates the process of processing a document, as it eliminates the need to wait in line at the Migration Service of the Russian Federation and overpay travel agencies for this type of work.

Compilation of a questionnaire for registration of an old-style international passport through the State Services is carried out on gosuslugi.ru, where you need to create an account.

Create an account on the site

With the help of the State Services website, a passport is registered online. The procedure is not difficult, as the portal includes all the necessary tips. Be sure to give consent to the processing of personal information and choose the most convenient verification option. Several methods are available:

  • receipt of the registration code through the state mail;
  • transfer of the cipher of the state-owned company through a branch of Rostelecom;
  • use of an electronic signature through a branch of the Ministry of Communications;
  • use of an electronic state card.

In most cases, the first option is used due to its relative simplicity and speed - you just need to enter the correct delivery address for the letter and wait for it to be received by mail. When using digital cards and signatures, it is necessary to check the possibility of reading information from these media.

After choosing the identification method, the system offers a form for filling in personal data. It includes:

  • passport data (full name, date of birth and gender);
  • active phone number;
  • email address;
  • insurance certificate number.

Particular attention should be paid to the correctness of the entered data - the phone number (or electronic signature, if any) automatically becomes the login for entering, and the server checks the authenticity and compliance of the entered data.

At the next stage, a user-created password is entered in the appropriate column. The last step in registering an account is to answer a simple question from the system and confirm the specified email. This is necessary to protect against automatic registrations of robots.

The activation code of the Personal Account is sent by the chosen method. For Russian Post, delivery time is about 14 days. The period of storage of the letter does not exceed a month, so the letter must be picked up within this period in order to avoid the need to re-register. If there is no time to wait, you can choose to deliver the code through Rostelecom - You can get information within 2 days.

After identification and authentication of the account, a person is transferred to the status of a user with the possibility of receiving any types of services offered, one of which is filing an application for registration of a foreign passport. The document has no age restrictions - it is allowed to make a passport for a child up to a year through the State Services.

Document type selection

There is a corresponding link on gosuslugi.ru where you can register an old-style international passport. The user is immediately prompted to select the type of documentation - the old or the new type.

In the modern modification, the passport has a higher level of protection with a service life of a decade. The paper passport of the old format is valid for 5 years, has a lower cost and less protection against fraud.

Formally, the process of obtaining passports of both types has no fundamental differences.

Issuing a passport: from A to Z

List of required documentation

There is a list of required and optional documentation for the provision of the service. The mandatory list includes:

  • receipt for payment of state duty

for minor children (under 14 years old) the amount of the fee is 1000 rubles, for minors (14-18 years old) and adults (from 18 years old) - 2000 rubles, respectively;

  • photo size 4.3×3.5 cm

Requirements for photography - clarity, lack of glasses and headgear (if religion allows it to be removed);

  • passport (or birth certificate for children under 14);
  • a completed application form for obtaining a foreign passport of the old format;
  • certificates confirming the need for accelerated issuance of a passport.

In the case of obtaining an international passport of the old format by a minor (under 18 years old), the composition of the documentation is similar.

Optional documentation

To obtain a passport through the State Services, the following papers may be required:

  • if available - the old passport that has expired;
  • a military ID (up to the age of 27 is required, after that it is optional).

Filing an application

To obtain a passport through the State Services, a package of documents is collected before applying. The photo is presented in a digitized form for its subsequent placement in the document.

Built-in hints help to fill out the application - it is enough for the user, following them, to enter correct and truthful information about himself and close relatives into the forms. The questionnaire ends with a form for adding an image file.

It is advisable to leave a copy of the questionnaire before submitting it in the saved format, since it may not work the first time: if it is filled out incorrectly, the saved version is easier to correct.

Application Form

On the system tab "Electronic Services", the Migration Service of the Russian Federation is selected. For the issuance of such a document as a passport through the State Services, the tab "Issuance of passports of a citizen of the Russian Federation, proving identity outside the territory of the Russian Federation" is responsible in the menu.


Passport application for children

A passport for a child is obtained according to a modified application form. A passport for a newborn through the State Services is registered according to the existing identity card (passport or certificate, the code of which is at the bottom and is highlighted in red). In the designated field, a form is filled in about the parent or guardian of the minor. The rest of the data entered is the same.

Getting a passport

After evaluating the correctness of the questionnaire, an e-mail notification of approval of the application is received (as a rule, no more than 2 working days pass from the date of submission), and then an invitation with the date and place of the expected receipt of the document at the regional branch of the Federal Migration Service.

The message contains a list of original documents that will be required to obtain a passport. Adults should present the original passport with a copy of the main spread and a photograph, children - a birth certificate and a photograph.

For men under 27 years old, a military ID is also required; after the specified age, its presence is optional. All actions for the execution of the document are carried out in an extraordinary order.

Upon receipt of the rejection of the registration, the e-mail will contain the reason for the rejection of the application. In this case, the state fee is returned to the applicant. Similarly, you can make a document for a child.

Terms of registration

Total Registration Duration

After consideration of the application in the authorities, the preparation of the document begins, and you can get a passport at the regional branch in 30 days. The total period for receiving a paper document from the moment the Personal Account is created on the portal does not exceed 60 days if the receipt is carried out at the place of registration of a citizen.

Up to 4 calendar months, the receipt of the document is delayed if you order a passport with registration at the place of current residence. Also, the wait is longer in the spring-summer season due to the greater number of applications submitted.

Expedited receipt of the document

Usually, travel agencies provide an accelerated receipt for an old-style international passport for a fee, as they can affect the speed of how the old passport will be technically issued.

The main problem of this registration method is that the company cannot speed up the process of coordination with other state registration departments - there are situations when, even under the accelerated procedure, the client receives an old passport at the same time as a regular one.

Possible reasons for rejection

The possibility of rejecting an application is legally established. As a rule, the old passport is not registered when:

  • the citizen is restricted from leaving the Russian Federation;
  • military service is not completed;
  • knowingly false personal data has been submitted (especially relevant if a child is applying for a passport).

In the event of an unlawful refusal in violation of the procedure, the compiler of the questionnaire has the right to appeal the decision to a higher body of the Migration Service.

Registration and replacement of documents through the site is the fastest and easiest way to obtain documents due to the lack of another waiting.
