Getting a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation - production time, how to know about the readiness of the document? How can I check the readiness of the passport by number or last name.

How to check the passport for readiness via the Internet on State Services?

Today, there are several ways that you can use to test your passport readiness. However, some methods are preferable for citizens, because they do not imply any separation from work or home. It is very convenient that now you can check the readiness of the passport via the Internet.

How to know that the passport is ready?

Ways to check the readiness of the papers:

  • On the website of public services a citizen can find out when the passport will be ready;
  • Call the passport officer or come in person;
  • Find out whether the passport is ready via SMS alert;
  • Citizens auto-informing is also an effective way to learn about passport readiness;
  • On the FMS website, you can also track information about obtaining a passport.

I must say that you can check the readiness of a passport through public services only on the condition that a citizen ordered a new or old sample passport on this site. If the document was processed in another way, then on this site there will be no information about the readiness and the date of receipt of the document. To obtain information, you will need to log in, then go to your notification feed. There will be the number of the application. If there is a green check mark in front of the application, it means that you can go to the FMS and take a passport. Also, it is not at all necessary to check whether the international passport is ready in this way. You can not go to the site at all, because in any case an alert will come to your phone or email. All these data are indicated when filling out the application form.

You can also find out about the readiness of your passport through a call to the passport office or to meet in person in person. In this case, you need to prepare for the fact that to get through the phone is not immediately. Sometimes a citizen may need several days to ask a question about the readiness of a document. If you get through the phone call, you need to have a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation under your hands, because the employee will ask a question about the document number. With personal contact, you need to be prepared for the fact that you may have to spend a lot of time standing in large queues. At the same time, no one will give any guarantee that the passport will already be ready and can be picked up.

You can find out whether the passport is ready via SMS. But there is a small nuance here, because such a service is not always and everywhere provided. Basically, you can get information about the document via SMS in large cities. In order to activate such a service, it is necessary to indicate in the application that it is more convenient to receive notification that the document is ready, exactly.

It is also possible to find out if the passport is ready through auto-informing. The essence of this method of obtaining information is that the information that a new or old sample document is ready is in the lists that are posted in the FMS. The lists indicate the names of citizens, indicate their numbers in order. All surnames are in alphabetical order. The disadvantage of this method is that the list is updated every few days, sometimes once a week. And if the citizen is under pressure, then such information will be a little late. Therefore, this check of readiness of the passport is not always convenient for the customer. It is better, of course, to call in the FMS at least once a week to be aware of the situation.

On the FMS website, any citizen of the Russian Federation can see up-to-date information about whether the document is ready.  To access such information, you must go through the registration process, specify the name, passport number and other personal data. On the website, you can track all the stages of readiness of the document, even if you need to make a passport for the week. To see the latest information, you need to know the application number, which is assigned to each document individually. If a citizen does not know the document number, you will not be able to see information about the readiness of a new or old-style international passport.

If you need to get a passport for the week, then you need to remember the nuances in which the issuance of the document occurs as soon as possible:

  • Treatment abroad;
  • The event that led to the death of a relative or a very close person. With such an event, the period for obtaining a passport can be reduced to a week or three days;
  • If a citizen has an urgent call from an employer who this moment  is abroad. In this case, you can also make a passport in a short time;
  • If a citizen carries out some kind of mission. This is especially true for a military man.

Features of design

Of course, to get a passport for a short time, you need to provide all the documents that can confirm the reason for such urgency. It is worth noting that if you need to make a passport in a short time, then in this case only the old format document will be made. The new sample document is made only in the usual mode, because the technology for the manufacture of a bio-passport does not provide for tight deadlines.



In addition to information on obtaining a passport of a new or old format, you can check information about the refusal to issue a document. This may concern the common man and the military. In fact, for the military there is no difference in the period for obtaining a passport. For the military there are the same rules, he fills out the same application form, checks using the same methods as an ordinary person.

But, unfortunately, for the military there is a high probability of failure.

Possible reasons include:

  • Signing a contract in which it is stated that he has access to secret information. Also, this form of the document should contain information about the impossibility of the military to travel abroad;
  • If a citizen is in active military service. In this case, the exit to the line may also be closed for the military and denied the issue of a foreign passport;
  • If the citizen gave the wrong data to fill out the form. This is possible to solve, but it is desirable that the customer responds quickly to his incorrect data, and not after a week or so that the form can be corrected. This is especially done quickly if a citizen is applying for a passport via the Internet.

In fact, the entire passport readiness check can pass through the Internet. Here you can track all the information about the stages of registration of passport, the specific period of readiness of the document.

No need to go anywhere and wait, standing in long queues. But it is possible that there are people who find it convenient to personally communicate with the staff of the passport office in person. In any case, now there is a possibility to find out whether the international passport is ready in several ways.

Each passport is subject to repeated exchange after the issuance of 14 years. This situation is determined by legislation. The first exchange by age occurs at 20 years, the second at 45 years. In this case, be sure to change the old version, when it is worn out, unauthorized entries and blots were made in it, errors were found in it. The stolen or lost copy should be restored.

When submitting the documentation to the FMS office, during which the last registration of the citizen of the Russian Federation was held, a new copy will be issued quickly. Production time will be 10 days. If the applicant does not have registration with the FMS, whose employees he is applying for changing the old sample, he will receive the document no earlier than two months later. This period is determined for the identification of the applicant at the place of residence. For the applicant there is no need for a personal visit to his territorial branch of the FMS. All requests are made by the Department of the Federal Migration Service, who accepted the paper to re-register or obtain a passport.

The applicant has the right to use the telephone service and ask him a question. He can also come to the FMS and verify the information provided to him earlier.

When receiving papers for the production of a Russian passport, a branch employee informs each applicant about the date and time of receiving a new copy. It is possible to know in advance whether a passport is being delayed. It is necessary to navigate the set date. If the passport of the Russian Federation is ready ahead of time, its owner will be informed about it.
