With the launch of the Internet portal of public services, it became possible to issue a passport in St. Petersburg in two ways. The first is through this site. The second - in the old fashioned way through the Office of the Federal Migration Service.
Instructions
Step 1
In both the first and second cases, a certain package of documents must be collected to obtain a passport. These are: - an application for the issuance of a foreign passport. It can be filled in and sent using the portal https://www.gosuslugi.ru/. Or print it from the site https://www.fms.gov.ru/documents/passportrf/, if you decide to draw up a document through the FMS yourself; - passport of a citizen of Russia; - receipt of payment of the duty; - photos - for a new passport - two, for the old version - three. Both color and black-and-white photographs are allowed. The main thing is that they are matte, and the image is in an oval with shading. A photo for a biometric passport is made with a special camera at the FMS Office when submitting a set of documents. The photographs brought with you will be needed for the archival questionnaire; - a military ID or a certificate from the military registration and enlistment office that the citizen has completed military service or is not suitable for it. Only for men of military age; - issued in the prescribed manner permission from the command - for soldiers and officers of the active army of the Russian Federation; - old foreign passport. In the event that its validity period has not expired.
Step 2
Apply with the set of documents to the district Office of the Federal Migration Service. Specify phone numbers, addresses and working hours on the portal https://www.ufms.spb.ru/. The list of territorial divisions is here: https://www.ufms.spb.ru/desc/po-cid-247/. Follow the link and select the region where you are registered and the desired branch.
Step 3
At the first visit, the employees of the district department of the FMS check the correctness of the documents and send them with an application to the main department. There, personal data are carefully checked and a permit is issued to obtain a foreign passport. This usually takes from three weeks to a month. After that, the document will be printed and sent to your local office. You will receive a notification of its receipt.
Step 4
If you decide to use the portal of public services, first register on it. This can be done by following the link https://www.gosuslugi.ru/. The account creation process is divided into three stages. The first is that a letter about registration on the site comes to the e-mail. To get to the page with the continuation of the activation process, follow the link sent there. Second, a confirmation request is sent to your mobile phone. Enter the received code in the required window on the website. The third - an envelope with further instructions will come to the place of registration. Enter the password from the envelope in your own account so that the document processing function becomes available.
Step 5
Fill out the form on the website, attaching a photo to it. After that, the employees of the territorial department of the FMS will contact you and ask you to bring the original documents. You will receive a new passport in three to seven days after this visit.
