Losing a passport is an unpleasant and somewhat dangerous event. He is not encountered as often as it seems. And therefore, not everyone knows how to behave under certain circumstances. Next, everything will be told about restoring your ID. If you do not hurry, you may encounter certain sanctions. They cause a lot of trouble. Fortunately, the process under study does not deliver anything special. Recovering a passport is a very simple operation, but only subject to timely and proper preparation.
When to restore your ID
Some citizens of the Russian Federation are faced with the problem of losing a passport. This situation is a lot of trouble. After all, ID is a fundamental document, without which it is difficult to live.
Under what general circumstances is it necessary to replace identity documents? At the moment this is:
- passport theft;
- loss of identity card;
- spoilage of paper;
- deterioration of documentation;
- detection of inaccuracies in the passport.
In addition, it is required to replace the document being studied when changing personal data. For example, last name. It is not as difficult as it seems.
It is important to remember that the loss of a passport slightly complicates the recovery process. What does every citizen have to remember?
Recovery briefly
To begin, consider a short guide to translating ideas into reality. It will help you not to get confused in the stages of documentation recovery.
Did you find a passport loss? What to do? In this case, you will need:
- Write a statement about the loss / theft of the document.
- Collect a specific package of documents.
- Pay the fee for the restoration of the certificate.
- Submit a request to the registration authority for re-issuance of an identity card.
- Wait until the "discharge" is ready.
- Get your hands on new documentation at the appointed time.
While a certificate proving the identity of a person will be issued, a citizen can request a temporary passport. It is not ordered so often, but remembering it is still important. Especially if in the near future a person plans to receive state or municipal services.
Where to go at the very beginning
Where to go if you lose your passport? Understanding this issue is not difficult. The question can be divided into 2 parts.
Namely:
- handling a theft / loss of a passport;
- filing a request for reissue of documentation.
In the first case, the person will have to contact the local authority of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the police. After writing the application of the established form, the next step of the operation will become available - submitting a request for re-production of an identity card.
An application for a passport is accepted by various authorities. Namely:
- FMS;
- migration departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
- multifunctional centers;
- portal "State services";
- passport desks;
- passport and visa centers.
In some cases, passports are issued at passport offices located at management companies. In such circumstances, you will have to submit a request at the place of registration of the citizen.
About the statement to the police
Did you find a passport loss? Then contact your local police department as soon as possible. You will need to write a statement about the loss of the document. Then no one will be able to use the passport found. He is canceled.
When submitting a request for the established form, the citizen needs to describe in detail the circumstances in which the loss of the mentioned paper was discovered. After that, an investigation will be conducted. It can take up to 2-3 months.
As soon as a citizen writes a statement to the Ministry of Internal Affairs about the loss of a passport, he will be given a paper on the cancellation of the document. It will come in handy during the direct restoration of ID.
How to order a document yourself
Did the person establish a passport loss? What to do in this case? The most unusual process is already behind. Now the paper processing procedure will not differ much from the passport request in the usual mode.
To implement the task it is necessary:
- Prepare a package of documents. Their list is presented below.
- Fill out an application for a passport. It is advisable to immediately write a request for a temporary ID.
- Pay the transaction fee.
- Submit a request to the registration authority.
- Obtain a temporary identity card (preferably).
- Pick up your finished passport at the appointed time.
There is nothing incomprehensible in this. Even a teenager can cope with the idea. The main problems with the loss of a passport are associated with contacting the police. The main thing is to remember that you cannot delay the procedure. Otherwise, the citizen will face certain sanctions. But about them later.
ID documents
What documents can a citizen use when losing a passport? A package of papers includes not so many components.
Ideally, when applying to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the applicant should have the following certificates:
- birth certificate;
- military ID;
- any identification document.
But this is only the beginning. What documents do you have to attach when you lose your passport during your visit to the migration services?
Mandatory of a citizen require:
- 3-4 photos;
- police certificate;
- receipt of paid duty;
- certificate of registration;
- birth certificate;
- documents indicating a change in personal data;
- military card (for those liable for military service).
That should be enough. As we have already said, the main difficulties are caused by contacting the police with a statement about the loss of documentation. In addition, problems may arise when applying for a passport via the Internet.
"Public services" and the order of certificates
We found out where to apply for a passport loss. You can restore paper through the Public Services portal. But without problems, only registered users can do this.
If a citizen has an ESIA profile, he can:
- Open State Services and log in to the site.
- Go to the “Service Catalog” - “Ministry of Internal Affairs” - “Restoring a Passport of a Citizen of the Russian Federation”
- Click on the button that says "Get ...".
- Choose a reason for replacing the document.
- Fill out an electronic application.
- Indicate the place where it will be convenient to pick up the finished document.
- Pay the fee in one way or another.
That's all. Then it remains to wait for an invitation to the registration authority. After that, the applicant takes the listed documents with him, presents them to the migration service and picks up the completed identity card.
Problems with Government Services
What documents are needed when losing a passport? The answer to this question should no longer be a hassle. Everyone will be able to cope with the task.
As we have already said, sometimes people turn to the State Services service to reissue passports and other papers. The main requirements of the portal are the following conditions:
- the citizen has reached the age of majority;
- profile on ESIA;
- verified identity on the site.
All of these steps take time. To register a user profile, you need to spend a few minutes. But the confirmation of the questionnaire takes a little more than 2 weeks. And this will have to be taken into account during the restoration of an identity card.
Temporary passport
Found a loss of a passport of the Russian Federation? Then you need to hurry up! Indeed, without this paper, living in Russia is problematic. Moreover, such an act is considered an administrative violation.
During the registration of the passport, a person can order a temporary (paper) identity card. This right is often not spoken about. This is due to paperwork.
However, everyone can submit a request. For a temporary passport to be issued, you need to bring 1 more photo to the registration authority than usual.
Punishment for loss
Is there any penalty for losing a passport? Yes. And it will have to be closed before submitting a request to the migration service.
The amount of payment is only 100-300 rubles. Moreover, the police can exempt a citizen from administrative responsibility and get along with a simple warning.
As practice shows, if the circumstances of the loss of paper are obvious, it is clear that the violation did not happen intentionally, and the “victim” asked very quickly, he can not think about the fine for losing the passport. However, the payout is not so big.
Non-ID Accommodation
There is one more reason to quickly contact the police with a statement about the loss of an identity card. The thing is that in Russia there is a punishment for living in an apartment without a passport. It is expressed in payments.
What is the penalty for the loss of a passport to pay an inattentive person? In ordinary cities, we are talking about payments of 2-3 thousand rubles. In the regions of federal significance - 3-5 thousand. Typically, punishment is imposed on citizens who delayed the restoration of an identity card for more than a month.
Process Duty
Did you lose your passport? Where to restore this paper, we have already figured out. What's next? How much will I have to pay for the operation without taking into account fines?
The state duty in the manufacture of the studied paper is required. It is paid upon the exchange of a passport, and upon its initial issuance, and upon loss / theft.
The amount of payment changes from time to time. In 2017-2018, the state duty is 1,500 rubles. So much must be given if the reason for applying to the FMS is the loss, theft or damage to the document.
Terms of service
As we found out, the loss of a passport requires quick and decisive action from a person. But after how long will the study documentation be ready?
A temporary passport is issued in a simplified manner. It can be given both in a few minutes after the request, and in a few days. Recovering a regular passport takes more time.
If the request was made at the applicant’s place of residence, you will have to wait a month (+ time to receive a certificate from the Ministry of Internal Affairs). Otherwise, the procedure will be delayed for 2-3 months in total.
Finally
We found out what documents can be useful when losing a passport. And how to return an identity card in Russia in general.
Now every citizen can cope with the questions studied. It is important to remember that for minors the actions to restore documents are performed by parents. But the presence of the child is also necessary.
After the new passport is on hand, some civil documents will have to be reissued. These are additional chores, but sometimes you can’t do without them.
In any case, after losing your passport, you need to start by contacting the police with a statement of the established form. Only then go to the passport office.
