Renewal of Russian Passports Abroad.

[jb]

There is new law about Russian passports, from the 1/04/09 they have to be issued withing 3 months.

The Russian Consulate here in Texas will issue a renewed passport in one day. The application paperwork has to be correct, (typed, not hand printed), with an acceptable passport photo, fee paid by Bank Money Order, but you apply in the morning and pick up the passport the same afternoon.

easy-peasy...

even if a person has registration-propiska in Russia and not with consulate? That new rule is very important for people with registration in Russia, because before that time frame was up to 6 months, now they have to do the same job in just 3.

Thanks WO, we applied just BEFORE the 01/04/09 - I'm not sure the Russians knew the new rules... but the UK system seemed to be automated and efficient.. lot's of printing of forms - once the on line applications were completed. Mr Batmanov, at the consulate claimed the UK was one of the first to be on the new system !

The system seems much better than the UK or IRL passport application process !

You are talking about Batmanov and guessing if he knew new Russian laws? Isn't he working for Russian consulate? Ru consulate works by Russian law, not UK law. It doesn't matter if you applied before 1-st of April, many people here did as well, but their paper work was returned and they had to go to consulate in person. That is basically the main change - you can't apply for passport renewal by post, you have to do it in person. All forms should be the same, but I always check them on official website before I fill anything out

Unfortunately, you're right. I got stuck in the middle of this change. As a result, I lost $$$, cos I already had our tickets for the flight to Russia.

Wild orchid, we applied mid March ....  using  the new system ( filled in the forms on line, at home ) - took them  to the Consulate, in person,  and Alex got his Passports mid  April !!... Veta's took longer as she was still registered in Russia, !

what new system are you talking about if new regalement started from 01/04/09? U couldn't possible use new system in mid March

В связи со вступлением в силу с 1 апреля 2009 года нового Административного регламента исполнения государственной функции по оформлению и выдаче паспорта, удостоверяющего личность гражданина Российской Федерации, по которому гражданин Российской Федерации осуществляет выезд из Российской Федерации и въезд в Российскую Федерацию (далее Регламент),

if they took papers to consulate by themselves this new system shouldn't affect them at all, because as I said there are only 2 changes, you can't apply by post and all passports regardless where they are registered has to be changed within 3 months

ПАСПОРТ

[peterwolf]

I live in the UK and I'm a British national. My Russian wife's internal passport comes up for renewal this year, 2011 - she will be 45.

1) Does she need to renew it in the district where she lived in Russia?
2) Does she need to it in the town/city where she lived in Russia?
3) How much is the fine if it is not renewed in 2011?
4) Does the fine increase in subsequent years?

Thanks in advance -  СПАСИБО

She can renew it in your Russian consulate.

Don't know anything about the fine but I'm assuming there will be one if she won't do it on time. In Au they will make you to prove that you are still a citizen and it cost $130 and takes more than 6 months.

She can find all her answers here http://www.rus.rusemb.org.uk/consulate/

I know my wife's passport will expire in July 2011.

To get a new one she has to complete a bunch of forms on the embassy web page and pay $420.  The process is said to take between 4 and 6 months.
