The Duma adopted, approved by the Federation Council and signed by the President a law on increasing state duties on certain documents. To get a new passport in 2020 for 10 years, you will have to pay a higher cost. How much does a ten-year foreign passport cost, as well as the details of the new law, read below.

The amount of duty for registration of a new passport in 2020

The legislation contains information on the increase in the cost of the state duty for the registration of a new passport in 2020 for a period of 10 years, as well as with an electronic biometric carrier.

The cost of obtaining a document will increase from 3,500 to 5,000 rubles. This cost applies to the adult population, and citizens who have not reached the age of majority will need to pay 2,500 rubles to get a foreign passport. Last year, obtaining a passport for children was 1 thousand rubles cheaper.

It is worth noting that there will soon be no opportunity to make an old-style passport for yourself and there is no point in talking about the cost of the state duty on it. However, while passports of this type are valid, you can use them, but then you will have to apply for a document with a biometric carrier.

The reason for the increase in the cost of state duty

The initiators of the increase in the cost of issuing a new passport in 2020 for a period of 10 years were representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, arguing that it is necessary to spend a lot of money on the creation of biometric documents.

In addition, after several calculations, it became known that each year costs increase by an average of 10% compared to the old-style documentation.

Also, the protection of personal data of Russian citizens must be constantly updated and modernized, requiring a certain amount of funds from the budget. In this regard, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the increase in the price of the state duty is a mandatory measure, moreover, the increase should occur constantly. Otherwise, it will not be possible to find other ways to replenish the state budget in order to compensate for the costs of the biometrics production procedure.

Until recently, any citizen of the country could issue an old-style foreign passport, the cost of which did not change. According to representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, this type of documents does not belong to the group of modern ones and in order to decipher it, it is not necessary to use special equipment.

Despite the fact that many countries accept old-style documents, by about 2025, Russians will have to change this type of passport to a more innovative one. It is recommended not to postpone this issue and to draw up documents of a new type right now.

It doesn't matter that the cost of obtaining a new passport for 10 years in 2020 will be five thousand rubles. There is a possibility that after a year or two you will need to pay a higher price for the procedure.

Is it possible to save

For all categories of citizens, the same cost of the state duty applies, which are established in accordance with the Tax Code and are sent from the payer to the state budget. Despite this, there are certain benefits and the possibility of obtaining a discount, which significantly helps to save on the procedure for issuing identity documents.

Now, if you issue a passport through the website of state services, you can reduce costs by 30% when paying a state fee.

Based on this, if you apply for the production of a foreign passport through the passport office or in the department, you will have to pay 5,000 rubles. Otherwise, if you deal with registration through the website of state services, then it will be possible to reduce the cost of the duty by 1,500 rubles.

Bonus

Based on the above, several conclusions can be drawn:

1. Registration of a passport will cost 5 thousand rubles if you go to the passport office, but if you use the website of state services, the document will cost 3,500 rubles.
2. Already now, those citizens who have an old-style international passport in their hands need to think about changing it to a document of a new format, because the price of its registration can grow annually.
3. Over time, the demand for innovative formats only grows, and it is not surprising that in a couple of years our documents will be exclusively in electronic form.
