IN Russian Federation From January 1, 2017, it became possible to issue a new type of foreign passport - a biometric one. This was due to the fact that an increasing number of countries are allowing entry to persons with such a document. To get biometric passport it is necessary to fill out the form of receipt of payment of the state duty for a new sample international passport, which has certain filling features.

How to pay the state fee?

The state duty for a new international passport can be paid in several ways:

• in person at the cash desk of a bank (for example, such as Sberbank);
• through an ATM;
• online;
• through a payment terminal;
• on the State Services portal.

To pay the state fee in person, you need to print out a receipt form or get it from the bank. Next, it must be filled out correctly by entering the recipient’s details, personal data of the payer, indicating the purpose of the payment.

ATMs of different banks have a section for paying government payments. Having selected the required line, enter your personal data. The state duty for a new 2017 international passport in this case will be paid by debiting funds from a bank card.

You can also pay the state fee for a foreign passport on the website of any Russian bank. In terms of the procedure, this option is similar to making a payment through an ATM, but in this case you will not need to enter personal data, since they are already known to the system.

The easiest method is through the terminal. When filling out a receipt electronically, no mistakes can be made, since here the system automatically indicates them.

Also, the state duty form for a new type of international passport is available on the Government Services portal. To gain access to it you must register. The data on the receipt must be entered carefully and without errors, since most of it is transferred to the application form during the process of issuing a foreign passport automatically.

Features of filling out a receipt

The receipt for the state fee for a new 2017 international passport must be filled out exclusively from the citizen making a request for a passport, taking into account age:

• an applicant who has reached the age of majority independently enters personal data into the form;
• For minor citizens, the receipt must be filled out by parents indicating the necessary information about the child.

It is worth paying special attention to the column where the twenty-digit classification code is indicated. However, the codes are different for adults and minors. If this column is filled out incorrectly, the transferred money will go to another account, from which it will be quite difficult and time-consuming to return it.

How to correctly fill out the details on the receipt form?

The receipt for the state fee for a new type of international passport in Moscow or another Russian region must be filled out without a single mistake. Otherwise, the Migration Service employee will refuse to accept this document or the payment you made will not reach its destination. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the correctness of filling out the form and avoid the following common mistakes when entering data in the receipt for payment of a biometric passport:

• incorrect indication of the regional office - each region has its own details for which payment must be made. Therefore, it is unacceptable to pay a receipt in a region other than that in which you will not receive a passport. Otherwise, the form will not be relevant;
• entering old details;
• incorrect payment purpose.

Before the state duty for a new type of international passport in Moscow or another region of Russia is paid, you should check the correctness of filling out the data in the receipt several times. Also, do not confuse state duties on different types international passports – old and new. If you make such an error, you will be refused to receive the document.

How much is the state duty?

The cost of the state duty for a new 2017 international passport differs from the old counterpart and is for citizens:

• over 14 years old – 3500 rubles;
• for those under fourteen years of age – 1,500 rubles.

To obtain an old-style international passport, persons 14 years of age and older must pay 2,000 rubles, and those under this age – 1,000 rubles. That is, the cost of a new document is 40% higher than the old one for adults and 20% for children. But a biometric passport has an advantage because its validity period is ten years, unlike the old version of a foreign passport, which is only valid for five years. In addition, for making changes to the old-style international passport in the children column, you will need to pay 500 rubles. A biometric passport does not provide such data, since a separate document is issued for the child, valid for 3 years.

Recently, deputies of the State Duma adopted a new bill that stipulates the conditions for increasing the state duty when obtaining a foreign passport. There are also representatives of the authorities who oppose such an innovation, but, frankly speaking, the law has already been signed, so everyone should know how much the state duty for a foreign passport costs from 2017, because they travel to modern man Today there is a lot to do, which means that such information will be very important for many. Changes in the cost of processing such documents are due to the fact that the international passport has changed slightly in appearance and has become more secure, and, as you know, you always have to pay for such innovations.

Changes in document formatting

The number of people who love to travel or often go on business trips around different countries, increases every year, so it is not surprising that almost everyone today should have foreign passports. Today, when preparing this document, you must present the necessary package of documents to the consulate, among which the receipt for payment of the state fee is especially important (without it, you simply will not be able to obtain a passport).

Just a few years ago, the tax fee for processing documents was very small, but the cost of state duty for a foreign passport in 2017 will increase by 40%. Such an increase is associated with fairly high inflation, because everything becomes more expensive because of it, and, moreover, the slightly changed type of documents that allow you to travel to other countries also entails an increase in their cost and this is completely normal. The authorities have replaced paper documents with electronic, so-called biometric passports, which are equipped with a special chip or magnetic tape where all information about a person is stored. The passport takes the form of a special card that can be presented to a customs officer, and it has certain advantages:

• such a document cannot be torn or crushed;
• it is maximally protected from use by fraudsters, because each card stores a person’s fingerprints and all of his personal information, therefore, the high cost of the state fee for obtaining a foreign passport is fully justified;
• Moreover, a biometric passport significantly simplifies the procedure for passing customs control - a customs officer simply swipes the card through a special machine and checks all the necessary information.

Of no small importance is the information that biometric documents will gradually replace conventional ones, however, the state duty for an old-style international passport will be abolished from 2017. The authorities, however, reserve the right for a person to issue a passport in a “new” or “old” form, promising that no one plans to make a forced replacement, but experts believe that in 2025 everyone will forget about the paper version.

What is the price?

According to the latest data, we can expect an increase in the cost of the state fee by about 40%, therefore, an adult will have to pay about 3,500 rubles for this procedure, while for a foreign document for a child you will need to pay much less - about 1,500 rubles. For issuing old-style documents, you will need to pay 1,500 less (500 rubles for children), but you will have to reissue such a passport more often, so such savings are quite doubtful.

When discussing the question of how much the state duty for a foreign passport will cost in 2017, we cannot help but say that the tax contribution will be processed at the expense of the Federal Migration Service of each region of the country, which have their own details, and when paying for this information, special attention must be paid attention. Any changes to documents (changed marital status or information about children) will have to pay an additional 500 rubles.

How to pay?

Having decided how much a foreign passport will cost, the price of the state duty in 2017 may be quite high, but everyone can afford to pay for such a service, we need to talk about how the payment process occurs. Only adults can pay, however, despite the fact that guardians or parents pay for children, the child’s initials are indicated in the “payer” column. After depositing money into the cash register, a special stamp is placed on the receipt, and the receipt acquires the status of “active” (it is given for three days, after the specified time the procedure is repeated). When paying state fees, it is mandatory to fill out payment orders, in which special attention is paid to the KBK codes; you can pay at any bank branch.

Separately, it is necessary to emphasize that if any problems arise with the registration of the state duty for a foreign passport, then the cost of this service can be returned (in this case, the contribution amount is paid in full). The funds are returned to the person who was denied a passport, but if he reapplies, the receipt can be reused.

This service is very profitable, because there are life difficulties in which a person may simply not have time or be unable to deal with legal documents, and then the contribution will not be lost, but if he loses his passport, he will have to pay again.

Summarizing all the above information, we can say that the state duty when issuing a foreign passport will be high, but people will pay for their own comfort and protection of personal data. 3,500 rubles for receiving an absolutely safe document that will allow you to easily go through the customs control procedure is not a lot at all, so you definitely shouldn’t expect mass protests challenging the increase in tax contributions. Receive today international passport It’s very simple, because the authorities of all countries open their borders to their citizens, so everyone can (and should) travel today.

This article is all about the fees for the right to travel abroad.

We have all long been accustomed to the fact that any application to a government agency to receive any service is associated with payment. Therefore, when you start to prepare documents to leave the Russian Federation, the question immediately arises: how much does it cost? And is it possible to save money so that the state fee for a foreign passport in 2017 does not hit your pocket too hard? We'll talk about this in this article.

What is the price

To answer this question, you first need to decide what kind of passport you need. Today, every citizen of the Russian Federation has the right to choose in this matter. You can apply for both a foreign passport, which is issued for 5 years, and one, which is issued for a period of 10 years.

The old form of foreign passport is an ordinary document. The state duty for an old-style international passport is currently 2,000 rubles. And the duty is even less - only 1000 rubles.

A new generation foreign passport (biometric) contains an electronic storage medium - a special chip that contains all the necessary information about the owner. It is clear that the fee for such a sophisticated document will be higher. The state fee for a new type of international passport is 3,500 rubles, and for a child under 14 years old - 1,500 rubles.

What to choose

Both versions of the document have the same legal force and do not provide their owners with any special bonuses. The main advantage of the new form is its validity period. This is especially convenient for those who travel abroad quite often: register once and use it for 10 years. Yes, and with a new passport it’s also faster to go through border control - if, of course, the checkpoint is equipped with electronic readers.

But there is also a drawback: such a document can no longer include information about children; they will have to issue separate passports.

At the same time, the old model has, perhaps, only one plus - in this type of passport you can enter data about your minor children without issuing separate documents for them.

How to register and pay

Payment of the state duty for a new type of international passport differs only in the amount of payment; the algorithm of actions itself is absolutely the same for obtaining a document of both a new and old type. You can pay the fee in the following ways:

• through a bank operator;
• via a payment terminal;
• through Personal Area on the bank's website;
• (but not yet in all regions).

In the first case, you will need to fill out a receipt. Payment of the state fee for registration is made using the bank details of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation in whose territory you are submitting an application for a passport. The fact of payment is confirmed by a receipt, which is then submitted along with the application.

Details depend on the region

Details for paying the state fee for a foreign passport can be found at the information stand or on the website migration service, each region has its own. The receipt can be filled out by hand by entering your data and necessary details into it, or the easiest way is to issue it online on the website of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Migration Issues and print it out.

When paying a fee through a terminal or banking website, a receipt is generated automatically; you just need to select the type of payment and enter your data. The system will enter the details of the payment recipient itself.

Don't make a mistake on your receipt

Please note that the payer of the state duty must be the person to whom the public service will be provided. That is, if the fee is paid for issuing a foreign passport to Bukashka Alexander Borisovich, then in the receipt in the “Payer” column there should be the full name of Bukashka himself, and not his wife, mother-in-law or neighbors, who kindly ran to Sberbank instead of him.
