If a family with a minor child plans to cross the Russian border, then you should take care of a set of relevant papers in advance. Theoretically, a foreign passport for a child under 14 years old can not be done, because in some cases it is allowed to enter it into the document of the parents. In practice, a child will be able to leave the state only with his parents, which is not always convenient.
Children aged 14-18 are required to have a separate passport allowing them to leave Russia. It is easy to issue a foreign passport for a minor at the request of a person representing his interests (one of the parents, adoptive parent, trustee or guardian). It can be old-style (does not contain a microcircuit with information about its owner, valid for 5 years) or biometric (issued for 10 years).
The procedure for obtaining for children is identical to the execution of documents for a passport for an adult - the applicant comes to the Federal Migration Service, having with him his own passport, birth certificate and a document confirming the right to represent a minor, etc. Mandatory is a questionnaire for a passport for a child, which is also called an application.
The questionnaire for obtaining a passport for minors in the FMS is filled out:
- necessarily in block letters (to exclude the possibility of inaccurate reading due to incomprehensible handwriting);
- blue or black ink pen.
If a mistake is made that requires correction or strikethrough, then the service will not accept such a form and the application for issuing a passport for a minor citizen will have to be filled out again. It is possible to download forms for filling out an application for a passport:
It is much more pleasant at home without haste to enter information electronically or use the Portal of State and Municipal Services (at the moment you can apply for a passport online). There is also a sample of filling out the questionnaire for children at the link.
The application for a passport for a child must be printed on both sides of one sheet. The requirements for entering information on the international passport of the new sample and the old type are the same. In the process of filling out an application for a passport, signatures are put under the supervision of an employee of the migration service, i.e. It is not worth signing at home on a form filled out in advance. When applying for a biometric passport, photographing takes place at the FMS department.
Instructions and examples of filling
For a new passport, the applicant must fill out a form for the following items:
old pattern form
A sample of filling out a questionnaire template for an old-style international passport for a child differs little from the example of filling out the form described above. The information you need to provide is identical.
The main changes concerned the design of the form. Also, in the application template for an old-style international passport for a child, it is not indicated that a new generation document is eventually issued.
