Documents for a biometric passport - is it difficult?

Since 2006, in Russia began to issue a new type of passport - biometric. He does not give the owner any benefits, and the passage of control at the border is also not simplified. The only advantage to date is its validity (it is issued for ten years) and saving time for registration at only a few airports. But, as expected, in the near future the possibilities of a new passport will become much broader. So the dilemma of obtaining a new type of document or giving preferences to the old, kind and customary - should be decided by you personally.

All the basic data in the biometric passport are enclosed in a special microchip. It is located on a special plastic page and duplicates all the information printed in the document itself. Due to this, it is impossible to forge a biometric passport. But there is a new type of foreign passport and a minus. It is impossible to write children into it, each child will have to make out separate documents.

The process of registration is not much different from the previous procedure. You just pay the state fee, collect the necessary documents for a biometric passport and contact the FMS body. The most difficult part is filling in the questionnaire. This should be treated with the utmost seriousness, because the incorrectly filled questionnaire can cause a refusal in registration. If you are not confident in your abilities, as a rule, a huge number of various offices will offer you their services. But in the collection of other documents, problems should not arise, since their collection is almost the same as for the registration of a regular passport.

Having made a decision to issue a biometric passport, the documents for registration will have to be prepared in various configurations. It depends on whether you make it up for yourself or for children. And the age of your offspring also matters.
