A passport is the most important document for all citizens, therefore, after a certain age, a birth certificate remains only for confirmation in case of loss of the main document proving the identity of a citizen. Due to the importance and main function of personal identification, citizens are required to appear at the passport office on time to paste in an age-appropriate photo.

The need to apply may arise in other situations, since the passport issuing agency deals not only with civil documents, but also with foreign ones. In this regard, the problem of workload is constantly relevant for almost all departments, regardless of their specialization.

For what questions do people contact the passport office?

The main questions that citizens have when contacting the passport office are:

• Obtaining a document upon reaching 14 years of age;
• Change of photograph upon reaching the ages of 20 and 45 years;
• Desire to obtain a foreign passport to enable travel outside the Russian Federation;
• And minor everyday issues related to the need to collect certificates to confirm family composition, housing quadrature, checking housing conditions, etc.

Therefore, the application should take place at the passport office at the registration address, which corresponds to the location of the citizen and provides its services.

There are also highly specialized issues, for example, certificates, which are provided exclusively when applying for registration. These are the details you need to understand.
