What is the new passport different from the old one? What are his advantages?

What is the new passport different from the old one? Similar questions puzzled many Russians. Few of the inhabitants of our country became the owner of such a document, and, accordingly, not everyone knows what he is like. In fact, everything is not as difficult as it may seem.

Cost

The first, than the new passport of the new sample differs from the old one, so this is the price. The amount of state duty has become much larger. If the old foreign document could be issued, having paid only one and a half thousand, now it is necessary to pay 3500 rubles. This is for adult citizens, for children this amount is 1500. This price jump can be explained quite simply. The thing is that modern equipment was used to print new documents. Accordingly, the expenses of our state for creating biometric passports also increased. This explains the amount of state duty.

Term of issue and action

The second, than the new passport of a new sample differs from the old, is the time. In order to receive this document, it is necessary to wait not a month, as before, but from one and a half to four. It all depends on some of the nuances. For example, if a person applied to the office of the Federal Migration Service at the place of residence, he will have to wait four months. At the place of residence, they make it faster - in 45 days. This difference is also due to the specific procedure for manufacturing a passport. Absolutely all the documents are now being made in the Russian capital. All information received from a person is sent there through special channels of satellite communication. In Moscow they create a special chip, in which they enter text information, and sew it directly to the passport page, after which they completely laminate it. In general, the process is not easy.

Yes, and use a biometric document can be much longer. Many people, puzzled by the question of "old or new passport - which is better?", Persuades to make a choice in favor of the latter, the fact that its validity is not five, but the whole ten years.

About the content

What else should I mention when I say about what the new passport is different from the old one? The fact that it has more pages than the other. And much more. Now the new document has as many as 46 pages for visas. In general, those people who are forced to travel often, regardless of this innovation, may not even have enough 46 pages.

Also, by the way, it will not be possible to "inscribe" children into a new document. If the old passport can be issued, as they say, "for two", then in this case it will not be possible to do this. Many people consider this a rather big drawback of the biometric system. A child needs to make a separate document. Here only some people are concerned with the question - how can a schoolboy of eight years, who has a picture of a baby 1-2 years old in his passport shown abroad, go abroad? So far, no one talks about this.

Appearance

A new sample of the passport still differs from the old one in that it looks different. First, the first page of it is laminated. Otherwise, it would not be possible to make this document, since the chip is stored inside. Due to this, it is possible to view the photograph at almost any angle. By the way, you can still see an element in the form of a diamond, which depicts the globe. This figure, according to officials, is very difficult, almost impossible to reproduce. Well, all such innovations were made in order to reduce the cases of falsification of documents. Strictly speaking, the biometric passport was designed to be impossible to counterfeit.

How to get a new document?

So, in order for a person to find a new model of a passport, he needs to do several things. The first is to pay the state fee. This can be done in any branch of the Savings Bank. Time this operation takes a little - it is carried out through the terminal, indicating the requisites. The second thing you need to do is fill out a questionnaire. The main thing is not to make mistakes in this matter, otherwise the FMS official may not accept the application. You can buy it, by the way, in offices where different forms are sold. Usually they are in walking distance from the department of the MIFS. Third, it is necessary - to bring the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation and copies of his pages (all). For men, you will also need a military ticket or a written ticket. You should know that the biometric passport will not be issued unless you provide these documents.

In general, as you can see, nothing is complicated - the photo will be made already in place, and fingerprints will also be removed at the office (this is an obligatory procedure). After this, it remains only to wait. After 1.5-4 months (depending on who and where issued the document) it will be possible to withdraw your biometric passport.
