How can I renew my passport?

If the expiration date of your passport expires in the near future, you should take care of its replacement in advance. In this article we will talk about how to extend the passport. To put it more precisely, there is no such thing as an extension of a foreign passport in legal practice. At the end of the validity period, the old passport is canceled and must be replaced with a new one. Thus, the answer to the question whether it is possible to extend the passport, can also be in the affirmative. Only here the renewal procedure will be completely analogous to the procedure for issuing a new document.

First you need to decide which type of passport you want to register. The usual is issued for a period of 5 years. Passports of the new generation, which have an electronic chip, are valid for 10 years. The last option is more practical, because the validity of the passport is greater, and wondering how to extend it, will not be necessary in the near future. However, the size of the state duty, which must be paid, also depends on the type of passport. For a regular passport, it is 1000 r. (300 rubles for children under 14 years old). For a new generation passport - 2500 r. (1200 rubles for children under 14 years old).

List of required documents

In order to extend the passport you will need the following documents:

1. General citizenship passport.
2. Previously issued a foreign passport.
3. Workbook (for non-working citizens).
4. A military ticket or a certificate of the military commissariat.
5. Receipt for payment of state duty.
6. 2 photos 35 by 45 mm.
7. A completed application for the issuance of a new passport in 2 copies.
8. Extract from the workbook with information on work activities for the past 10 years (for non-working citizens).
9. Certificate of assignment of identification number (for residents of Ukraine).

The application form for obtaining a new foreign passport of a standard form can be downloaded from the website of the Russian Migration Service for residents of Russia and from the website of the Ukrainian Immigration Service for residents of Ukraine. Be careful, because the form of applications for the issuance of a regular passport is different from the form for a passport with an electronic chip. The application form must be printed on one sheet on both sides, filled and stamped and signed at the place of work.

Extension of the passport through the Internet

Usually, in order to submit documents for the registration of a foreign passport , you must face a number of inconveniences.
