State duty for changing a passport in 2021: amount, where and how to pay

Reasons for changing your passport

A citizen receives his first document at the age of 14, then it changes several times throughout his life. In this case, re-registration can be either planned or due to unforeseen situations.

Possible reasons for replacing a passport, the procedure and conditions for carrying out the procedure are indicated in the legislative framework of the Russian Federation: Government Decree No. 828 of 07/08/97, Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 851 of 11/13/17.

The grounds for obtaining a new identity document are:

A citizen reaches the age of 20 and 45 years. The change of passport at this time is due to physiological changes in appearance, which must be recorded. Otherwise, there may be problems with identifying the person. The document will have to be changed, even if the new certificate was received recently (for example, after marriage). After 45 years, the passport becomes unlimited and can be reissued only in unplanned situations (loss, damage, assignment of a different name, etc.).
Serious changes in appearance. It is necessary to obtain a new document if there may be difficulties with identifying a person. Significant changes in appearance occur during plastic surgery, trauma, burns and other interventions, when the face becomes unrecognizable from the passport photo.
Marriage with a change of surname. If it remains the same, you do not need to obtain a new document. But when assigning a spouse’s surname, creating a double one, you need to re-issue your passport.
Gender change. The procedure is often accompanied not only by changes in appearance, but also by the registration of new personal information (full name). This requires recording the data in the passport.
Assigning a different full name to a citizen. A person has the right to take a different name at any time by contacting the authorized departments. After completing the procedure, he is required to receive a new passport.
Damage to the document - replacement is required if it becomes inappropriate. Signs of damage include dirt, stains, drawings, bent pages, blots, blurry text, unintended marks, and a torn or worn photograph. The legislation of the Russian Federation obliges citizens to carefully store their passport, and if damaged, replace it in the prescribed manner with payment of a fine. Also, a document is considered unsuitable if, during registration, government department employees entered erroneous information or notes. Such identification card must be replaced without imposing sanctions on the owner.
Theft or loss - in this case, the loss should be reported to the police to invalidate the document. This will protect the citizen from the actions of scammers. Next, you should get a new passport. If the old option is found after cancellation, it cannot be used.

Some notes are placed in the passport - about marital status, registration, military service, children. If there is no space left on the pages to enter information, this also becomes the basis for obtaining a new document.

The amount of the fine for delaying the deadline for changing a passport

It is necessary to issue another identity card within 30 days from the date of occurrence of circumstances requiring its re-issuance. During this period, you need to submit an application and documents to the authorized body (Ministry of Internal Affairs) directly or through intermediaries (MFC, State Services portal).

Please note that the passport production time is 10 days when applying to the government agency at the place of registration and up to 30 days when sending papers to an institution at a different address. That is, the execution of the document may go beyond the designated period of 30 days.

If the deadline is exceeded, the citizen does not submit an application to replace his passport, sanctions are imposed on him under Art. 19.15 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. They provide for a fine of up to 3 thousand rubles for residents of Russia. In Moscow and St. Petersburg, the amount of recovery can increase to 5 thousand rubles.

In some cases, it is possible to reduce the amount of deduction or remove liability:

if the documents were submitted on time, but the registration was delayed due to reasons beyond the citizen’s control;
in difficult financial situations;
the woman is pregnant or has recently given birth;
the delay is insignificant and so on.

Sanctions may also affect those who live with a person without a valid passport. In this case, the owner of the premises faces a penalty of 3 thousand to 7 thousand rubles based on the region.

Within 10 days from the receipt of the fine receipt, it can be appealed in court. If the decision comes into force, the penalty must be paid within 60 days. Otherwise, you face an additional fine of double the amount of the first deduction.

So, if a person submits documents for a passport through the State Services website, then he will be given the opportunity to pay the state fee with a 30% discount.

And then the cost of replacing a passport will be:

In this case, the state duty must be paid by bank transfer. This can be done using a bank card (pay via terminal), mobile phone or using an electronic wallet.

Replacement procedure

To change your identity card, you need to contact the Migration Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in any convenient way:

Directly to the Main Directorate for Migration and Migration during a personal visit to the department - some institutions allow pre-registration.
Through the State Services portal - if you have a confirmed account, you can send papers to the Ministry of Internal Affairs electronically, then at the appointed time visit the authorized body to receive a passport.
Through the MFC - when using a pre-registration (via the website or by phone), the appointment is carried out on the appointed date; if you show up at the center without an agreement, you will have to stand in line.

During the period of registration of a passport, you can obtain a temporary identity card from the Main Department of Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

A package of documentation must be sent to the government agency:

application in form No. 1P indicating the reason for the replacement;
old passport;
receipt for payment of state duty;
papers about marriage, divorce;
information about minor children;
military ID;
document confirming change of name, gender, new birth certificate;
photographs - 2 pieces 35 by 45. If it is necessary to provide a citizen with a temporary passport, an additional photograph will be required;
notification coupon from the police department (if the document is lost).

The package of papers is handed over to an employee of the government agency or the MFC - in response, he provides a receipt for their receipt indicating the date of readiness of the passport.

State duty: basic concepts

State duty is a mandatory payment in favor of the state for the provision of services to legal entities and individuals for registering legally significant facts, confirmed on a standard form; in other words, it is a fee for a service provided by civil servants.

The procedure and terms for payment of duties are regulated by regulations, which stipulate the possibility of applying preferential tariffs and return conditions.

Before making a payment, you must clarify the details and amount. The receipt or its number is the only confirmation that the fee was sent to the correct addressee.

Duration and cost of the procedure

As usual

The deadline for issuing an identity document is:

when applying to the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, MFC at the place of registration - up to 10 days;
when sending papers to an institution at a different address - up to 30 days.

In some cases, employees may refuse to replace the document. The main reasons are an incorrectly completed application, provision of incomplete or unreliable information, or insufficient paperwork.

In this case, the citizen is issued a written reasoned conclusion. After correcting the shortcomings, the procedure can be repeated, but the state fee will need to be paid again.

The cost for providing the service is 300 rubles. When paying the state fee through the State Services portal, a 30% discount is provided, that is, you will need to pay 210 rubles.

For assigning a new name in 2021, the amount of the state contribution is 1,600 rubles. (Article 333.26 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

Urgent replacement

It is impossible to urgently obtain a new passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation - it is issued within the standard period of 10-30 days. You can speed up the replacement procedure by submitting papers directly to the government department (GUVM MIA) at the applicant’s registered address. In this case, the production time will be up to 10 days.

If it is necessary to use a passport, the government agency may issue the citizen a temporary identity card.

Replacing a damaged document

If your passport is lost or damaged, the price for obtaining a new one is 1,500 rubles; in this case, you cannot pay the fee with a discount on the State Services website.

An administrative sanction is also imposed on the citizen - for loss or damage to a document, or improper storage, he must pay a fine of 100 to 300 rubles.

If the new passport contains erroneous information through no fault of the applicant, there is no cost to replacing it.

The amount of state duty in different cases

Even at the stage of submitting documents, the person is informed how much the fee will need to be paid. Remember that if you do not get your passport on time, you can get a fairly large fine.

When replaced at 20 years

The first procedure for updating a document will cost a twenty-year-old citizen 300 rubles.

When replaced at 45 years old

At this age, a citizen pays the same amount as at 20 years old, if he has an old passport in his hands and has not missed the deadline for replacement.

When changing your last name

If a citizen of the Russian Federation got married and she needs to change her passport in connection with receiving her husband’s last name, exchanging the document will cost 300 rubles. If you return your maiden name after divorce proceedings, changing your passport will cost 1,000 rubles.

If a document is damaged

If an individual spoiled a passport for the first time and reported it in a timely manner, the amount of the fine will correspond to the fee - only 300 rubles. But in order to pay only this amount, you must contact the FMS department yourself in advance, since if you are arrested without a passport, the fine will be much higher.

For rendering a passport unusable in our country, the government has established rather large penalties. Their size depends on the situation and starts from 1,500 rubles.

If you lose your passport

If a citizen has lost his passport, the fine will also be 300 rubles. If lost again - 1500 rubles. Subsequent cases of loss or rendering unusable will entail penalties in the amount of 3,000 rubles.

If a citizen’s passport was stolen, and there is evidence, then no monetary fines will follow. But at the same time, you must write a statement about what happened to the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.

Urgent replacement

The cost of obtaining a passport in a short time depends on the speed of production and the region. It starts from 7,000 and can reach 42,000 rubles (if necessary, make a document within 1 day).

How to pay the state fee

The contribution should be made according to the details that are on the official website of the Main Directorate for Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the appropriate section. A receipt can also be obtained upon a personal visit to a government agency or MFC.

For the convenience of paying various state fees, bank terminals have been installed in public places, through which you can deposit the required amount without the involvement of specialists. But in this case, bankers advise using the device during business hours to avoid mistakes and, if necessary, call a bank specialist for help.

KBK, Sovcombank, VTB24 and other Russian banking institutions accept payment of receipts using the details. They are also accepted at the post office. Foreign financial institutions do not provide such services. Citizens of Belarus can pay the fee for a temporary residence permit in Russia through the ERIP.

ATM or terminal

To carry out a financial transaction through a terminal or ATM, you need to find the “Payments in the region” button or the “Duty” or “Fees” section. In the window you will need to enter your tax identification number, details for paying state duty and make a deposit. You can also use a bank card for this purpose instead of cash. After the transaction has been completed, print out the receipt received and save it before contacting the MFC or the migration service.

After authorization, go to the service catalog, find the “Passports and Visas” section and select the appropriate item. Select the reason why the document is being replaced and you will be invoiced. After filling out the form, you can pay the fee with funds previously deposited on the portal. Save the issued check in printed or electronic form - this is what users advise in reviews.

Who is eligible for a preferential replacement?

Only orphans and children left without parental care can receive a new passport without paying a state fee. Other categories of persons, including those entitled to benefits (poor people, disabled people), pay the standard contribution amount.

The discount is provided when paying the fee through the State Services portal. However, it does not apply to replacing a passport if it is lost or stolen.

You can obtain a new identity document by contacting the Main Migration Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs directly or through intermediaries. A mandatory step in obtaining a passport is paying a state fee. The amount of payment depends on the reasons for which the replacement of the document is required.

How much does it cost to replace a passport if the document is damaged?

According to tax legislation (Article 333. 33 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation), the state duty for replacing a passport due to its unsuitability for use (unintentional damage, damage, violation of the integrity of document pages, photographs) or due to loss (loss, theft) is 1,500 rubles.

There is an opinion among people that when replacing a passport due to its damage, a person will have to pay a fine. Actually this is not true.

A fine is provided only for deliberate damage to a passport, but it is difficult to prove, so FMS employees do not fine people, but simply take away the documents and issue a new passport for the person.

Check as proof of payment

When paying through the cash register, you will receive a second - tear-off part - receipt with a bank stamp confirming receipt of the payment; after transferring funds through the terminal, do not forget to pick up a check for a successful transaction. When using electronic services, the check will be generated automatically; all you have to do is print it out and attach it to the package of documents. This is what a check from Sberbank looks like when paying online.

Who is exempt from paying state duty?

According to current legislation, certain categories of citizens are exempt from paying state duty:

Heroes of Russia or the USSR;
Veterans of the Great Patriotic War, UBI, as well as disabled people;
Children under 18 years of age whose parents have been deprived of parental rights;
Orphans.

Important! According to Part 4 of Art. 333.29 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, residents of the Kaliningrad region do not need to pay a state fee when replacing a passport.

In addition, citizens whose passports are replaced due to an error made by an employee of the migration department when entering the relevant data, as well as in the event of damage to the document due to the actions of the manufacturer, are exempt from this obligation. For all other persons, the need to pay the state fee is mandatory. If this is not done, based on the results of reviewing the documents, the citizen will be given a refusal.
