The international passport will become more expensive: how to get the document at the old price Starting from July 1, 2024, the state fee for issuing a new type (biometric) international passport will increase by 20%. For adults, the price will be 6,000 rubles (currently 5,000). For children under 14 years old - 3,000 rubles (currently 2,500). For non-biometric passports, the amounts will remain the same - 2,000 and 1,000 rubles respectively. In a biometric passport, unlike a regular one, digital information about the owner is included. When submitting documents for it, a photo is taken and recorded on the chip. This simplifies and speeds up the border control process. In addition, old and new type documents differ in their validity period. The first are issued for 5 years, the latter for 10 years. Also, holders of regular international passports may face restrictions in some countries. For example, entry with non-biometric documents is prohibited in Denmark. Therefore, until the end of this month, Russians have the opportunity to obtain the new type of international passport at the old price. Even if you have a valid document, you have the right to get a second one. However, it is important to indicate in the reasons for issuing the international passport that it is done in addition to the existing one. If this note is not made, the new document will replace the old one - the first passport will be canceled and cannot be used for travel. The fastest way to apply for an international passport is through the personal account on "Gosuslugi". The state fee can also be paid there. The document can also be obtained through MFC. In the region of permanent registration, the international passport will be issued within a month, in another - within three months. If you need to urgently travel abroad for a valid reason, the document can be made in three days.
