Every person who has registered on the gosuslugi.ru website gets the opportunity to issue a passport without standing in huge queues and wasting nerves. This is the main advantage of processing documents via the Internet, since you still have to go to the FMS department at least twice: the first - in order to hand over the package of documents and take a picture, and the second - in order to get the coveted passport.
First of all, before starting the registration of a passport through state services, you need to go to a photo studio and take a picture. The photographer can be told that the photo is needed for a passport. They know all the requirements and will do everything according to the rules. At the same time, be sure to take an electronic version of the picture from the photographer, because it will be needed when filling out the questionnaire on the website, and the paper version - when submitting documents to the FMS. Electronic photo must be in JPEG format, and its size must be no more than 300Kb. The photograph, which will be in the passport itself, is taken with a special camera at the Federal Migration Service.
So, when everything is ready, you can start filling out the questionnaire on the state service.ru website. The first step is to consent to the processing of personal data. After that, you must select from the list the FMS branch, in accordance with the place of residence, where the passport will be obtained. Then you need to fill in personal data: full name, date and place of birth, place of registration, etc. When you hover the cursor over any field, tips appear showing examples of filling, they can significantly help in the design of documents.
At the next stage, it is necessary to fill in the passport data: series, number, by whom and when the document was issued, etc. Also, at this step, the purpose of obtaining a passport is filled in and answers are given to some questions regarding the personality of a citizen, the specifics of his work.
The next stage is one of the most difficult. Most of the errors appear on it. It is necessary to provide data on labor activity for the last 10 years. Dates are indicated with an accuracy of up to a month. If the beginning of this period falls on the time of study, for example, at an institute, then the first line must indicate the month and year of the beginning of training in this educational institution and the date of completion. Then the data on the official places of work, the records of which are available in the work book, are indicated. If the break in work lasted more than a month, this must also be indicated. If you have an old passport on your hands, you should put the appropriate mark.
Next comes the turn of electronic photography. It must be downloaded, after which it will be attached to the questionnaire. Then you need to click the "Submit application" button. After that, notifications about the change in the status of the application should come to the sender's e-mail within 1-2 days. First, it will be placed in the general queue, then transferred to the FMS portal. After that, the application will either be accepted or, if errors were found in it, it will be returned. Any inaccuracies will be indicated. At the same time, you will have to fill out the questionnaire from the very beginning, so it is best to save your records when filling out on a computer.
If the application is accepted, then an invitation will be sent to the mail to appear at the FMS with a set of documents: an application, a passport with a photocopy, 3 photographs, a receipt for payment of the state duty, information about work activity and an extract from the work book. An application for the issuance of a passport with information about labor activity can be downloaded from the FMS website. The data in it should be identical to those that were entered in the electronic form. In this case, the application should be filled out in capital letters. Further, it must be certified at the place of work.
After all the documents are collected, you can go to the FMS department to submit documents and take pictures. This procedure should not take more than 10 minutes, if there is a separate office for receiving citizens who submitted documents through the portal of public services.
After 1-2 months, a notification of the readiness of the passport should come to the mail. In order to get it, you need to take with you an ordinary passport, which will be marked with the issue.
As you can see, there are many nuances in how to issue a passport through state services, and this method is not much easier than usual. However, it avoids long queues and saves time.
