The fine for an expired passport at 45 years old according to Code of Administrative Offenses 19.15 can reach five thousand rubles, so when the deadline approaches, it is necessary to take measures and take care of replacing the document. Below we will consider in which case you will have to pay a fine, when there is a delay, and how you need to proceed to replace the certificate through the MFC, FMS or the Internet.

About deadlines and fines
Those wishing to find out how long a passport is valid after turning 45 years old should study the legislative norms. They are the ones who regulate that only 30 days are given to replace the certificate.
Within a month from the date of birth and noisy celebrations of the 45th anniversary, you must go to the nearest migration service office and submit all documents.
Keep in mind that preparing the necessary papers or personal circumstances sometimes cause difficulties that lead to the fact that a person does not have time to meet the allotted deadline. Failure to collect papers on time is not a valid excuse and does not relieve administrative penalties, so someone should start collecting certificates in advance.
Those who do not like to put everything off until the last minute will be disappointed in the issue of replacing a document in advance. It is theoretically possible to start the registration procedure before the 45th birthday, but after the 45th it will have to be repeated.
There is a fine for sluggishness and delay. If a person has not issued a new identity card, then carrying an expired passport is tantamount to not having one. In two Russian capitals (Moscow and St. Petersburg) you will have to pay from 3,000 to 5,000 rubles for such an oversight. Other Russians are given a discount. They pay a fine of 2000-3000 rubles.
Can they refuse to replace a document?
In some cases, when requesting to create a new document, the applicant may be refused. Such a decision by the FMS can be made if:
- the period when a citizen could submit an application has been exceeded;
- insufficient documents were provided;
- no receipt or fee payment details;
- The documents provided are drawn up in a foreign language, and a notarized translation is not attached.
Refusal with any other reason is considered illegal. It often happens that an employee may still request a duty receipt, but citizens are not obliged to present it if it is more convenient for them to provide payment details. In this situation, it is worth indicating your intentions to complain to management, which can have a positive effect on the production of documents and speeding up the issuance time.
Important: while the passport is being prepared, the applicant is left without an identification document. If there is a need for a passport within a month, everyone has the right to request a temporary document from the service, which is provided free of charge, its value being completely identical to that of a permanent passport.
Features of the procedure
The procedure for changing your passport after 45 years is quite simple. It is enough to come to the migration service unit within a 30-day period and write an application for a replacement using Form 1P ().
You can contact not only your place of registration, but also any nearest department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as well as a multifunctional center.
Documentation
The following must be attached to the application:
- old passport;
- a pair of photographs 35x45;
- receipt of payment of state duty.
Other documents confirming identity, marital status, presence of children and military service may also be required:
- extract from the house register on permanent registration;
- certificate of marriage or its dissolution;
- children's birth certificates (if children are under 14 years old);
- military ID.
Waiting period
Regardless of which authority the applicant applies to, the maximum waiting period for a new certificate is no more than a month:
- if you apply at your place of permanent residence/registration, you must get a new passport 10 days in advance;
- If you apply without registration (or when there is no registration at all), preparation of the document takes up to 30 days.
On a note! In case of violation of the deadlines for the production of a new passport, the applicant has the right to complain to senior management, and the refusal to challenge it in court.
Taking into account the maximum period, it can be calculated that in total you can live without a valid passport for 2 months. After submitting the documents, a temporary identification certificate is issued. It is valid in all cases where a passport is required. Can be used when purchasing tickets, preparing various documents, etc.
How long can you use your passport after 45 years? An unlimited amount of time, unless the document is stolen or lost, and also if the person does not decide to get married or change his last name due to other circumstances. At the age of 45, the document is changed for the last time , because the planned replacement of an identity card by age is carried out twice - at 20 years old and at 45.
Reasons for refusal
Usually, there are no difficulties with issuing a new passport, and it is issued even before the deadline. But cases of refusal to issue are still possible, and the main reasons include:
- excessive delay (in this case you will have to first pay off the fine and then provide a receipt for its payment);
- an incomplete/false package of documents was provided;
- a receipt with paid state duty is not attached;
- papers were provided in a foreign language without a notarized translation into Russian.
When your passport becomes unusable
There are a number of reasons that shorten the validity of a Russian passport. They are reflected in two documents:
- Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 8, 1997 N 828 “On approval of the Regulations on the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, a sample form and description of a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation.”
- Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia No. 851.
Replacement of passport upon reaching a certain age
The law establishes three ages at which it is necessary to routinely obtain or replace an identity card. Validity period of a citizen's passport:
- from 14 years - until the age of 20;
- from 20 years to 45 years of age;
- from 45 years old - indefinitely.
Replacing a passport after loss or theft
In this case, you should immediately contact the internal affairs authorities with a statement about the loss or theft of your document. This will help you prove your innocence in situations where a fraudster has used your passport by applying for a loan or opening a cash withdrawal company for it. Thanks to your statement to the police, you will be able to prove your innocence in such cases.
Change of personal data
If a citizen changes his last name, first name or patronymic, his current passport ceases to be valid. Most often this happens in connection with marriage or divorce. However, Russians have the right to change their last name, first name or patronymic to another at any time. Also, the validity of the identity card is terminated if changes are made to the date or place of birth.
In addition, if a person has changed his gender or changed his appearance beyond recognition from the photograph pasted into the document, the document should also be replaced.
Expiration due to errors
It happens that a passport is issued with errors in the personal data specified in it. Such a document is considered invalid and must be replaced. It is curious that many people can use such a passport for years without noticing the error.
Extraneous inscriptions
The law contains an unambiguous position. If extraneous entries appear in the passport that do not comply with the law, the document immediately becomes invalid. Therefore, it is better not to give it to children, as well as to add any marks there to strangers.
Payment of state duty through Sberbank online
If you are a Sberbank card holder and have connected access to your personal account, you can pay the fee without leaving your home.
Follow the following algorithm:
- Log in to your personal account.
- Select “Payments/transfers” in the top line, and “Federal Migration Service” in the “Staff Traffic Police-taxes-duties-budget payments” section.
- Next, click “All regions” to get a list of all FMS.
- Select the migration service in your region.
- In the third item in the window that appears, select the card with which you will pay the fee.
- Just below in the “Type of payment” set “Russian Federation Passport”.
- Then fill in the payer’s contact information (if you don’t know the UIN, skip it).
- Click “Continue” and confirm the operation with a one-time SMS code.
Before confirming, do not forget to check the entered data again. After payment, the system will prompt you to print a receipt. Do so, because you will need a receipt to submit your application.
How much will the fine be if the passport has not been replaced?
There is only one reason for imposing a fine - the citizen did not apply to the passport office within 30 days from his 45th birthday. The measure of responsibility will be expressed in the form of a fine of 2-3 rubles (for regions) and 3-5 thousand rubles for Moscow or St. Petersburg.
A citizen planning to replace the form needs to know that in advance (before his birthday) he will not be able to apply for migration. The first day to formally apply for a replacement is immediately after your birthday. The last day is the 30th after the celebration. Compliance with these deadlines is the responsibility of every Russian citizen, which is spelled out in detail in the current legislation.
Replacement through State Services
In the migration departments the queues are minimal, in the MFC there are practically none, and on the State Services portal they are not available at all, so electronic registration will be an excellent option if you want to solve the problem as quickly as possible.
The instructions are:
- We go to the main page of the popular portal.
- Scroll down slightly and select in the third column “Issue or replacement of a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation.”
- Next, click on the section we need in the list - replacement due to 45 years of age.
- And then we follow the detailed instructions of the portal. Just keep in mind that to be able to submit an application electronically, you must be registered with State Services.
By the way! The cost of the fee for online payment will be 210 rubles (a 30% discount is given when submitting documents through State Services).
Despite the opportunity to submit all documents remotely, you will have to pick up the completed passport in person at the selected FMS department.
Documents for passport replacement
Replacing a document such as a passport is possible only if you provide a list of documents:
- invalid passport;
- application for passport replacement;
- 2 photos size 35x45;
- a receipt for payment of a fee in the amount of 300 rubles (payment can be made via the Internet or directly at a bank office).
Important: FMS regulations allow the applicant to present payment details instead of a check.
Additional documentation confirming the applicant's identity:
- permanent registration of the applicant;
- information about the spouse;
- information about dissolution of marriage in case of divorce;
- information about children (if their age does not exceed 14 years);
- military ID.
Atypical cases
Having understood when to change your passport after 45 years, it is worth studying information on how to act in unusual cases.
It is not possible to come in person
If a citizen, due to poor health, cannot appear in person at the migration department or MFC, then he can, through relatives or by mail, send a written application asking a government agency employee to come to his home.
Based on the administrative resolution of the Federal Migration Service No. 391 of November 30, 2012, the employee is obliged not only to come, pick up all the documents, check their completeness and accuracy and submit them for registration, but also bring a ready-made document.
Their relatives have the right to submit documents for incapacitated persons, and it is important that the relative signs (a dash should be placed in the “Personal signature” column), but all data in the application form is filled out for the person to whom the passport is being sent.
While in another city
If your 45th birthday finds you in another city, then also contact the Federal Migration Service or a multifunctional center. But consider the nuances:
- if a temporary registration has been issued, then go to the department at your residence address;
- if there is no temporary registration in this city, then contact the nearest unit;
- You will have to pick up the document at the same MFC where you submitted the documents.
We are sure that now you have no doubt whether you need to change your passport after 45 years. Be sure to do this in a way that is convenient for you, and receive all the privileges that Russian citizenship provides.
Where to go to change a document
To apply for a replacement ID card at the age of 45, you can contact the following authorities:
- Territorial branch of the FMS located at the place of residence (permanent registration of the applicant);
- Regional office of the Federal Migration Service at the place of stay (temporary registration);
- Any division of the Federal Migration Service where a person who does not have any registration is actually located;
- Multifunctional centers (MFC).
This is important to know: Replacing a passport if damaged
According to paragraph 107 of the Regulations, the duties of the official who accepts documents for the exchange of identity cards include arriving at the location of the person whose passport needs to be replaced. The reason for this is the poor health of the passport holder, which prevents him from visiting the passport office in person.
An application for an official to travel to the person’s actual location can be submitted to the appropriate authority by his relative. It is also possible to send a petition by Russian post or via the Internet.
Q: What advice can you give to our viewers?
A.K.: The advice is to approach the issue of a passport very formally in order to avoid problems when concluding a transaction under the circumstances that we talked about. If you have reached 20/45 years of age, changed your last name, torn off a page or scribbled something on your passport, then you need to change your passport immediately. Otherwise, there will be problems associated with the fact that certain organizations and institutions will refuse to accept it and you will not be able to take any action. And it happens that you need to do something urgently, and they will send you to change your passport.
What to do if there is an error?
There are situations when a citizen came to get a new passport, but discovered an error in it. The following actions depend on the reason for which it was admitted:
- If personal information was entered incorrectly due to the carelessness of an employee or there is mechanical damage on the document, then you must contact the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a replacement. A citizen only needs to provide a new photograph; there is no need to pay a state fee.
- If those responsible for creating the document are not at fault, then the citizen can apply for a new passport to any Ministry of Internal Affairs. He collects the documents again and pays the state fee.
Deadlines for receiving a new document
From the moment you submit documents for passport exchange, the 30-day period stops counting. Passport office employees begin preparing a new passport. There are also deadlines here:
- 10 days - when applying for registration;
- 30 days - the application was submitted at the place of actual residence, or without registration at all.
Under any circumstances, the period for issuing a new passport cannot exceed three months. If such a violation occurs, then the citizen has the right to file a complaint with the head of the institution, or send an appeal to a higher organization.
Usually, the document is issued very quickly. The exception is when a citizen receives a passport for the first time (at the age of 14), or when citizenship changes. At the age of 45, a Russian actually exchanges a document for the last time. After this, the form is considered unlimited.
