About a temporary passport: how to get it, a certificate of replacement instead of what it looks like

When is it issued?

During the period of re-issuance or restoration of a passport, citizens often do not know how to make a temporary identity card. It will not replace a general passport, but will ensure the performance of its basic functions. This is a cardboard form, measuring 17.6 x 12.5 cm. Its form is established by Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated November 13, 2017 N 851. The name is indicated on the front side, the full name is indicated on the inside. owner, photo, place of birth, signature and address. There is also information about the grounds for issuance, validity period and extensions. Despite the simplicity of appearance, what a temporary identity card looks like is approved by the Administrative Regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. This is an official document.

How do they react to a temporary identity card during employment?

If the time has come to change jobs, but the passport has been given to the FMS for replacement, then in this case it will be possible to get a job upon presentation of a temporary identity card. This is clearly stated in Article 65 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation

.

“Article 65 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. Documents presented when concluding an employment contract Unless otherwise established by this Code or other federal laws, when concluding an employment contract, a person applying for work presents to the employer: (as amended by Federal Law dated December 1, 2014 N 409-FZ) a passport or other document , identification; work book, with the exception of cases when an employment contract is concluded for the first time or the employee starts working on a part-time basis; insurance certificate of compulsory pension insurance; (as amended by Federal Law No. 216-FZ of July 21, 2014) military registration documents - for those liable for military service and persons subject to conscription for military service; a document on education and (or) qualifications or the presence of special knowledge - when applying for a job that requires special knowledge or special training; (as amended by Federal Law No. 185-FZ dated 02.07.2013) a certificate of the presence (absence) of a criminal record and (or) the fact of criminal prosecution or the termination of criminal prosecution on rehabilitative grounds, issued in the manner and in the form established by the federal executive body authorities exercising the functions of developing and implementing state policy and legal regulation in the field of internal affairs - when applying for a job related to activities to which, in accordance with this Code, other federal law, persons who have or have had a criminal record are not allowed who are or have been subject to criminal prosecution. (paragraph introduced by Federal Law dated December 23, 2010 N 387-FZ) In some cases, taking into account the specifics of work, this Code, other federal laws, decrees of the President of the Russian Federation and decrees of the Government of the Russian Federation may provide for the need to present additional documents when concluding an employment contract. It is prohibited to require from a person applying for a job documents other than those provided for by this Code, other federal laws, decrees of the President of the Russian Federation and decrees of the Government of the Russian Federation. When concluding an employment contract for the first time, a work book and an insurance certificate of compulsory pension insurance are issued by the employer. (as amended by Federal Law No. 216-FZ of July 21, 2014) If a person applying for work does not have a work book due to its loss, damage or for any other reason, the employer is obliged, upon a written application of this person (indicating the reason for the absence work book) to issue a new work book. (Part five was introduced by Federal Law No. 90-FZ of June 30, 2006)"

In cases where a citizen is not hired due to the presentation of the described document, he has the right to demand a written refusal in order to go with him to the labor inspectorate or court to record illegal actions and impose a fine on the organization. However, the matter does not go beyond the personnel department and the citizen, after the requirements are presented, is issued a job.

How and where to get

There are several ways to obtain a document:

• when contacting the Ministry of Internal Affairs in person;
• in multifunctional centers, MFCs;
• by accessing the State Services portal.

The timing of issuance depends on which organization issuing the document. When applying to the Ministry of Internal Affairs - on the day of application. If you contact a multifunctional center, it is recommended to clarify the deadline, since the center’s employees contact the Ministry of Internal Affairs department on their own.

Many people do not quite understand how to obtain a temporary identity card through State Services online. The fact is that through the portal you will only submit an application for the issuance or replacement of a passport. After you receive a notification that it has been accepted for consideration, you need to personally come to the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and receive the document.

You will be given an application form and will need a photograph. Photo requirements for a temporary ID card:

• size 35 x 45 mm;
• full face position;
• A headdress and glasses are allowed if they do not hide the oval of the face.

Lost Russian passport - what to do and how to restore the passport of a Russian citizen

First of all, if you lose your passport, you need to submit a corresponding application to the passport office - this is a mandatory procedure to restore the document. In this case, the law does not provide any special requirements, but there is one point: it must be handwritten by the applicant personally and signed at the end. What should be in the application? The following information:

But here it is necessary to clarify such a point so that there is no confusion. If your documents were stolen, you should file a statement about the loss of your passport with the internal affairs authorities - it will be registered. In other cases, proceed according to the above scheme.

What can't be done with him?

The operations that a temporary identity card in form 2p allows are limited. For example, it is allowed to send transfers, but it is not possible to receive money or apply for a bank loan.

Limitations of use:

• cross the border of the Russian Federation;
• submit an application to the registry office, get married;
• registration or renewal of registration at the place of residence.

As long as a citizen has such a certificate in his hands, he cannot be brought to administrative responsibility for lack of registration.

Not used as a replacement for an identification document when obtaining a foreign passport, driver's license, or car registration.

What rights does an auxiliary document give?

A temporary identity card when replacing a passport is the same document, but is issued for a short period of time, until the citizen of the Russian Federation is issued a new passport.

When planning a passport replacement, a citizen comes to the migration service authorities or the MFC (if such an institution exists in the city of his residence, since the organization is mainly located in settlements such as Moscow or St. Petersburg) and provides the official papers required by law. Employees check their composition and completeness and, if no questions arise, take them away along with the citizen’s original passport.

Temporary ID

You can also prepare the necessary documents and fill out the form online, through the single information and service portal “State Services” on the website. Among the list of options provided, there is an icon “Issuing or replacing a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation.”

However, despite the convenience of the service, personal appearance at the migration services for issuing a VUL, handing over an old passport and obtaining a new passport is still required.

A person is given many documents throughout his life, but not all of them are identity cards. You can show your student card in the metro, but it will not be suitable for opening an account; it will not be used to issue a loan or make a money transfer. All serious issues can be resolved only with the main identification document - a passport.

But there are a number of alternative documents that can replace a passport:

• Temporary identity card of a citizen of the Russian Federation (form 2-P);
• International passport;
• Military ID or military identification card issued to conscript or contract soldiers;
• A sailor's identity card issued to sailors and cadets of overseas voyages and valid for 5 years;
• Birth certificate (for children under 14 years old);
• A criminal record certificate is issued to persons released from prison.

Such documents, although they will confirm the identity of a particular person, they cannot become a full-fledged replacement for a passport. Firstly, by limiting the validity period. Secondly, because of its specificity. Only the passport contains basic information about a person. In addition to the full name, date and place of birth, it indicates the citizen’s gender and puts marks that are not on other papers:

1. Registration and deregistration;
2. Presence of minor children and marriage;
3. Issuance of a foreign passport;
4. Military duty.

It is also allowed to enter information about the blood type in the passport, but this is done only at the request of the citizen. Every Russian passport contains an encrypted code, which consists of numbers and letters. Using it you can obtain all the data about a person that is stored by law enforcement agencies. The passport form itself is produced using special technologies to avoid counterfeiting.

To prepare financial or legal documentation, you only need a passport; even a copy certified by a notary will not do. A foreign passport won't help either. It will not be possible to confirm your identity with various types of identification.

For example, an FSB officer, police or lawyer. This may include student or student ID cards, pension certificate.

These papers confirm that a person belongs to a certain social group or department, but are not full-fledged identification documents that will be accepted, for example, at a bank.

There are several reasons for issuing a passport:

• Reaching the age of 20 or 45 years, as well as 14 years, when a citizen receives his first passport;
• Loss or theft. Losing a passport is considered a serious reason for replacing it, and you will have to pay a fine for negligent handling. In case of theft, first contact the police with a statement;
• Change of data. If a citizen registers at a different address, the passport is not changed, it is simply stamped with the appropriate stamp. It's another matter when the last name changes. In this case, not only the passport will have to be replaced, but all other documents (TIN, SNILS, medical policy, and so on);
• Damage to passport. You cannot use a document with torn pages. The passport will be considered invalid if it contains unreadable words, stamps and seals, or the photograph is not visible;
• Errors in the passport. For example, the date of birth was incorrectly indicated or there were inaccuracies in the full name. If an error is detected, the passport must be changed. If mistakes were made due to the fault of the passport office employees, then you will not have to pay the state fee.

The procedure is the same for any situation, but in some cases there is a fine (for example, for losing a passport you will have to pay from 100 to 300 rubles).

While the passport is being prepared, the applicant has the right to receive a temporary certificate (VUL). It is issued only at the request of the applicant. According to the law, it is possible to issue a certificate even when an application for a new passport is submitted at a location other than your place of residence. They are also required to issue a VUL in the event of theft or loss of a document.

To obtain it, you need to contact the employees of the Federal Migration Service (renamed the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs) with a corresponding request. When a passport is replaced, stolen, lost, or in other situations, a temporary identity card is issued immediately and free of charge.

Documents for registration:

1. One photograph measuring 3.5 x 4.5 cm;
2. Application (submitted to the Federal Migration Service).

When issued, the certificate is assigned a serial number and registered.

The certificate is issued on a form made of thick cardboard paper measuring 17.6x12.5 cm. On its front side it is indicated that this is a temporary document. The form contains information about the citizen, his date of birth and residential address.

Here a personal signature is placed and a photograph is pasted. On the last page, in a separate column, the basis for issuing the VUL and the period during which it is valid are indicated. There are also notes about the rollover of the paper.

A sample VUL form can be found here.

Validity

The VUL is issued for a limited period, which depends on the place where the application for a replacement passport is submitted. The length of the document will be as follows:

• 10 days if the application is submitted at the place of residence;
• 60 days when applying at your actual location.

That is, the validity of the certificate is limited by the amount of time it takes to obtain a passport.

Renewal and surrender

If for some reason it is not possible to obtain a passport within the time period established by law, the period of validity of the VUL is extended at the request of the citizen. To do this, you will have to visit the FMS again. An appropriate note about the extension is made on the last page of the form. The law does not prohibit applying for an extension in advance.

After receiving the passport, the certificate must be handed over to FMS employees. If the document is lost or damaged, you will not have to pay a fine.

Despite the fact that a temporary certificate is intended to completely replace a passport during the period of its absence, when using this document one has to face various kinds of restrictions:

1. The employer refuses to conclude an employment contract. When applying for a job, a future employee is required to provide a certain set of documents, one of which is a passport. Although denial of employment in the absence of a passport (in the presence of a temporary certificate) is not considered a valid reason, employers often do not want to hire an employee. If the latter does not agree with this state of affairs, he can go to court, receiving from the employer a written refusal explaining the reason.
2. Difficulties with financial transactions. If there is a need to withdraw money or close an account, the owner of the VUL may face trouble. The bank client opened an account by presenting a passport, the data of this document is not in the temporary certificate, and bank employees will refuse to carry out transactions or withdraw cash. If the question is urgent, then you can receive a letter from the FMS, which will confirm that the VUL is the original. Then the bank can accommodate the client halfway.
3. You will not be able to change or register your place of residence registration. While there is no main passport, there is nowhere to put a mark on the new registration and it will be impossible to register.
4. A temporary ID cannot be used to obtain a foreign passport.
5. It will not be possible to register a marriage at the registry office. If the application was submitted using an old passport, and then the document was lost or transferred for re-registration, it will not be possible to put a marriage stamp. You will have to wait until the new document is ready.
6. It will not be possible to travel from Russia using the VUL to other states (where border control is allowed using an internal Russian passport). VUL has legal force only in the Russian Federation.

If during the process of obtaining a passport the need arises to purchase a plane or train ticket, in most cases there should be no difficulties. The carrier will be quite happy with a temporary certificate, but here you need to immediately make a reservation that it will not be possible to travel outside of Russia.

The rules for selling train tickets are regulated by the legislation of the Russian Federation. The carrier JSC Russian Railways specifies on its website which documents are accepted at the ticket office, and a temporary certificate is included in their list.

However, there is some nuance here: boarding the train is possible if the passenger has the document with which the ticket was purchased. If the ticket was purchased using a passport, and boarding is carried out using a temporary certificate, then transportation will be denied.

You also cannot buy a ticket using the VUL and then board the transport using the received passport.

What does VUL give?

By and large, a temporary certificate will only allow you to purchase travel tickets. Another use case is to confirm your identity to law enforcement officers upon request if they want to check your documents.

In the latter case, difficulties also often arise. The VUL does not have a high level of security, and fraudsters can forge this paper without much effort.

In what situations is a new passport issued?

To obtain a passport, you must submit the relevant documents

As noted earlier, absolutely any citizen of the Russian Federation is required to receive his first passport at the age of 14. It is from this moment that the main document proving his identity becomes the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation.

According to current legislation, persons with Russian citizenship must store and maintain this document in a form suitable for use.

Otherwise, they may be subject to some administrative liability. In addition to obtaining a passport upon turning 14 years of age, this procedure must be carried out by a citizen in connection with:

1. with the onset of 20 and 45 years of age;
2. with a change in last name, first name, patronymic or gender;
3. with errors or inaccurate information in the old document;
4. with loss or damage to an old passport.

Regardless of the reason for issuing a new document, a citizen is required to contact the Federal Migration Service (FMS) and provide its employees with some documentation. If this procedure is ignored within the time limits allotted for its implementation by law, the citizen risks receiving some kind of administrative penalty.

Considering this fact, we strongly do not recommend refusing to obtain a passport, of course, if there is such a need, otherwise problems with the law cannot be avoided.
