Currently, passports have a new passport, as well as an old one. The main difference of the new passport is that it is biometric - it incorporates an electronic chip, which, in addition to the data inscribed in the passport, can contain biometric information (a picture of the iris of the eye). The new passport is valid for 10 years, the old one is valid for 5. In the new passport there are 46 pages, in the old passport - 36. The biometric passport, unlike the old passport , does not include children. Everyone is free to choose which passport to apply for. Each of the options has its pros and cons. The biometric passport is much more expensive - the state fee for its issuance will be 2500 rubles for adults and 1200 for children under 14 (for asking for an old passport, they will be asked 1000 and 300 rubles, respectively). The timing of the action has already been mentioned above. For young children, it is advisable to choose an old passport. Documents under the law are subject to replacement if the appearance of a person changes significantly, and any baby grows and changes with time. The degree of materiality of changes is determined at the border control, and there is a possibility to spoil your vacation by not getting a grown child through the border. In addition, the passport of the new sample will have to wait at least 30 days, while the old one can be ready much faster, especially if it is for the child.
