Issuing a passport through the MFC is a convenient opportunity to make a passport for yourself with a minimum number of visits to government agencies. In this article, we will tell you how to make a passport through the MFC, and what are the pros and cons of this option.
How and where to pay the fee for a passport
You will also need to pay a fee to apply for a passport. You can do this in several ways:
- Through the bank. The receipt form can be downloaded on the official website of the Federal Migration Service and carefully and accurately fill it out. The details of the account to which the money is transferred can be found at the territorial office of the migration service by calling, or on the official website of the FMS, by selecting your region from the list. Also, the details will always be prompted at the MFC.
- Through internet banking. If you have a plastic card of any bank, you can pay the fee for a passport through your personal Internet banking account.
- Payment terminal. If you pay at bank terminals, then you also need to know the exact details for payment. Facilitate the process of terminals standing in the branches of the MFC. They already contain all the necessary details. You will only need to enter your details.
How much does it cost to issue a passport through the MFC
The state fee for issuing this document does not depend on the method of obtaining it (through the MFC or the Central Internal Affairs Directorate), but depends on its type and on whether an adult or a child receives a passport.
Production time
The timing depends on where you apply for your passport. If at the MFC at the place of your registration (registration) - 30 days. If at the place of actual residence - 120 days.
In some cases (they are described in the law), you can get a passport urgently. For example, if urgent treatment is required abroad or if your relatives live there and are seriously ill.
How to find out about readiness
Often, a passport is made earlier than you have indicated. And many want to figure out how to check the readiness of a document. You can do this in several ways:
- through the portal "Gosuslugi";
- on the website of the guvm.mvd.rf;
- through the MFC;
- by contacting the General Directorate for Migration (by phone or in person).
Since the most convenient way to learn a passport is to submit the entire document to the MFC, it is also easy to find out about the readiness of the document here. When submitting documents, the MFC employee also takes your phone number or email address. As soon as the passport is ready, you will receive an SMS or an email with a notification of readiness.
Why they can refuse and what to do then
Refusal to issue a coveted passport can be in such cases:
- If a person is "not allowed to travel abroad", that is, he has or had access to classified information.
- If a person has been convicted by a court, is under investigation, or is suspected of committing a crime.
- If a person indicated false information in the passport application form (and this is not a mistake, but his deliberate action).
- If a person evades the obligations imposed by the court.
Also, a passport will not be issued to employees of the FSB of the Russian Federation and children if one of the parents is against the child's departure abroad.
Features of obtaining a passport for a child through the MFC
At the MFC, you can issue a passport for a child, both old and new. For him, in addition to the documents listed above, you will need:
- birth certificate if under 14 years old, or passport of a Russian citizen if the applicant is over 14 years old;
- passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation of the parent (or guardian). If the application is submitted by a guardian, then the court decision on the appointment of guardianship;
- upon request, a document confirming the citizenship of the child.
In the case of obtaining a children's passport, you will need to fill out an application for both the representative of the child and the child himself.
How to get a passport in Moscow through the MFC
Getting a passport in Moscow through the MFC is as easy as shelling pears, since in the capital even biometric documents are already issued in more than 90 offices. Look for the nearest one on the map and make out according to the instructions above.
An equally favorable picture is in St. Petersburg - the number of offices is constantly increasing, so a simple search engine query "to make a St. Petersburg passport through the MFC" will lead you to a rich list of addresses. Choose the one closest to your home or place of work (to run after the service) - and it's in the bag.
And in other regions, such institutions appear almost within walking distance.
