The lack of registration at the place of residence does not become a serious inconvenience when there is a need for a foreign passport. But in order to avoid unpleasant situations, you need to understand the intricacies of the legislation.
What the legislation says
The legislative acts of the Russian Federation say that every citizen or resident of the country has the right to collect a set of necessary documents and make an exit passport in any convenient or accessible branch of the Main Directorate for Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.
But it was not always so: the corresponding changes appeared in the law a little more than 5 years ago. Prior to the adoption of the amendments, it was possible to issue travel documents only at the address of permanent registration, which is stamped in the national passport.
The long-awaited adjustments to the Administrative Regulations entered into force by order of the Federal Migration Service of the Russian Federation of 2010 with the adoption of amendments in the fourth paragraph.
The text of the papers declared that any citizen and resident of the country has the legal right to fill out an application form and make a foreign passport in the most convenient of the following places:
- At the place of permanent registration;
- At the place of temporary registration;
- At the current location.
That is, these amendments mean that each of the citizens or residents of the country has the opportunity to legally issue a visa stamp, regardless of the current state of registration at the address of application.
The RF Law of June 25, 1993 N 5242-I "On the Right of Citizens of the Russian Federation to Freedom of Movement" declares that the current status of a citizen's registration has no legal or legal force. The current text of the regulations of the migration service also contains an indication that an application for a foreign passport must be accepted regardless of the presence of registration with the applicant.
Required documents
The list of papers that are required to make a passport not at the place of registration does not differ from what needs to be collected when contacting the registration address.
The list includes the following documents:
- National passport;
- Completed application form in two copies;
- A set of 3 photographs 35 x 45 mm;
- Military registration document;
- Receipt for payment of state duty;
- Current international passport (if necessary, replace with a new one).

According to current requirements, the applicant is no longer required a notarized copy of the work book. According to the new regulations, this document is only necessary to confirm the information in the relevant section in the application form.
Military accounting
Men need to take a close look at their military commitments. Depending on the current status, various military registration documents may be required:
| Current status | Required documents |
| Completed compulsory military or alternative civilian service | Military card with a stamp on the end of military service |
| Limited or temporarily unfit for military service for health reasons | Military ID with a stamp indicating the appropriate category of validity |
| Does not belong to the previous category and did not complete military service | A certificate from the military registration and enlistment office, indicating that a man at the time of registration of a passport is not subject to conscription |
Persons in military or civilian alternative service, as well as men liable for military service, draft evaders are included in the list of persons who will receive a negative answer without looking back at the place of appeal and registration.
International passport for a child
Making a passport for a child without permanent registration is also not difficult. A birth certificate with a stamp on the citizenship of the Russian Federation must be added to the standard set of documents.
If the child is already 14 years old, then his civil passport must be attached to the application and two signatures must be put on the application: the child and the parent.
It is not necessary to put a parental signature in the child's passport, this is a gross violation of the law. A dash must be put in the signature column. The signature of the parent in the corresponding column of the child's passport makes the travel document invalid.
Where to go
The state body authorized to resolve migration issues of all types and formats is called the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs under the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This authority deals with a range of issues that were previously dealt with by the dissolved Federal Migration Service.

A citizen or resident must personally apply to the representative office of the organization at the place of residence. The application indicates the place of permanent registration and address of residence, valid at the time of contacting the migration authorities.
You can get services for issuing an exit passport at the multifunctional center (MFC) for processing various kinds of documents.
A modern and comfortable way to obtain a passport is to use the Internet portal of the State Service. In the corresponding section of the site, you can go through the entire registration procedure. If there is no desire to understand the functionality of the portal, you can simply sign up for an electronic queue.
Government duty
As with the registration of other various documents, to create a foreign passport, you need to pay a state fee. The amount of the fee does not depend on the place and method of circulation.
- 3500 rubles for a biometric foreigner;
- 2000 rubles for an ordinary passport.
The state fee for a modern document for a child is 1500 rubles... For the registration of an ordinary passport for a baby you need give 1000 rubles.
Terms of registration of a passport
The key difference when registering a foreigner not at the registration address is the period of time that will pass until the department produces the required document. Minimum waiting time with the best input will be 1 month.
Amendments to the legislation state that the time frame for obtaining a passport after submitting documents at the place of current location, as well as in the absence of any registration at the place of appeal, can stretch for several months (up to 3 months) from the date of approval of the application.
Such an impressive waiting time is explained by the fact that the local branch will be forced to request the necessary information about the restrictions on the applicant's departure from the migration authorities at the place of residence of the citizen.
Urgent registration of a passport
In some exceptional situations, it is possible to significantly reduce the waiting period. This can be done with the help of documentary evidence of urgent circumstances. In this case, the period for creating a passport is 3 days. There are no additional fees or rush clearance fees.
The circumstances giving the right to an accelerated receipt of a passport are indicated on the information sites of migration structures and in the relevant legislative acts:
- Death or serious illness of relatives abroad;
- The need for medical care abroad;
- Removal of the body of a deceased relative from the territory of another state.
Documents that prove the extreme necessity and help speed up the passport processing process:
- A telegraphic message from abroad certified by an authorized medical authority, proving an episode of a serious illness or death of a close relative;
- Medical opinion of the attending specialist doctor and a letter from a foreign medical institution, proving the need for treatment at the address of departure;
- A letter from a state clinic or other medical institution confirming the urgent need for an early medical intervention in a foreign clinic.
When drawing up an application for an accelerated issuance of a passport, you need to be especially careful in order to avoid mistakes when filling out, which may become a reason for a negative response to the application.
Underwater rocks
The absence of a residence permit at the place of application to state bodies cannot cause a negative response to the applicant's application.
But there are other circumstances that can cause a negative response from civil servants:
- The applicant is working with information constituting a state secret;
- The applicant is convicted, is under investigation or is suspected of committing a wrongful act;
- The applicant evades the fulfillment of obligations established by the law of the Russian Federation or assigned by a court decision. Such obligations may include overdue payments on loans and housing and communal services, unpaid fines, alimony or taxes, military service;
- The applicant has drawn up documents with errors, provided incorrect or deliberately false data in the documents;
- The applicant is doing compulsory military or alternative civilian service, is a contract serviceman, an employee of the FSB or similar state security agencies.
You can check the nuances and subtleties that affect the exit status using the appropriate services. Also, some companies provide such services, but in order to save money, you can independently find information about debts or fines on the websites of government agencies or use the State Services portal.
The indicated reasons are listed in the Administrative Regulations approved by orders of the Federal Migration Service of the Russian Federation of 15.10.2012 No. 320 and 26.03.2014 No. 211.
A passport may not be issued at the place of registration. If an employee of the Migration Department gives a refusal unmotivated by law, for example, referring to the lack of registration at the place of contact, the employee's actions are unlawful and may serve as a pretext for legal proceedings.
