How to enter a child in the parents’ passport: information about the children, who enters, where they put a mark in the passport

A passport not only certifies the identity of a citizen, but also contains information about important aspects of a person’s life for the state: his place of residence, military duty, marital status. Entering information into the passport is regulated by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated July 8, 1997 No. 828. According to this Decree, information about children from birth to the age of 14 years can be entered into the passport. Clause 21 of Order No. 64 of the Federal Migration Service of Russia dated March 19, 2008 states that such a recording is not mandatory and is made only at the request of the applicant.

This mark performs two main functions:

Confirms the baby’s identity, his age, and relationship with him. In this respect, the passport duplicates the information contained in the birth certificate.
Establishes the citizenship of the newborn. According to Russian law, the citizenship of children before they reach the age of 14 can be proven in two ways: by placing a stamp on the birth certificate or by including information about the children in the identity card of the father and mother.

Advantages and disadvantages of filling out the “Children” column

Some parents decide not to fill out the appropriate page on the ID card, arguing that if they have a birth certificate and a citizenship stamp, the entry is redundant. Among the negative consequences of this mark are the difficulties of finding a job for a mother with young children and the refusal to provide loans due to the borrower’s minor dependents.

However, information about children in the passport may be needed in the following cases:

when receiving grants and government benefits, for example, a certificate for maternity capital;
to confirm a large family;
when applying for a home mortgage and other loans: a bank employee may require confirmation of family composition;
when traveling abroad: when filling out information in a foreign passport, obtaining a visa;
in situations where it is necessary to confirm the age of the baby or relationship with him, but you do not have a birth certificate with you. For example, to prove a child’s right to free travel;
The mark may also be required when enrolling in a kindergarten.

Why is this needed at all?

Before finding out who puts the mark on children in the passport, it is necessary to find out the importance of the procedure. According to the law, if there is no entry in the document, responsibility is not imposed on the parents. All registration officials recommend recording information about children on the appropriate pages of the passport.

The need to reflect data is confirmed by several reasons:

A stamp and record may be needed when applying for benefits for children. Also, using data, you can confirm the fact of having many children.
A mark will be required in the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation when planning to travel abroad. Without it, registration authorities may refuse to process documents.
A stamp may be required when children are enrolled in a preschool or school.
There are other situations when you may need to enter information. For example, such a record is checked by bank employees when issuing a loan, and by human resources departments at the time a person is registered for work.

The procedure can be performed immediately after the birth of the baby. Parents should remember that it is necessary to enter information about children before they reach the age of 14 years. After a minor receives a passport, his information does not fit into the documents of the mother and father.

Sample passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation

Where is the recording made?

Information about children is entered by a FMS employee. In the designated columns of the table (passport page No. 17), the child’s gender, surname, first name, patronymic and date of birth are indicated. The current entry must be confirmed by the seal and personal signature of the migration service employee. The applicant should check that the personal data is entered correctly, as well as the presence of the seal and signature of the official.

When replacing a passport, for example, upon reaching the age of 45, only information about children who are under 14 years old at that time is entered into the new document.

Where to go

It is important to know where parents can enter their child in their passport. Previously, similar procedures were carried out by civil registry offices. Currently, these powers have been transferred to migration service employees. This is due to the fact that when entering information it is important to confirm the citizenship of the person. And it is the Federal Migration Service that deals with such issues.

Employees of the organization are guided by regulations specially developed for these purposes. It notes that the data should be reflected on a special page called “Children”. Regardless of whether the applicants’ place of residence is Moscow or the regions, they must apply for registration to the territorial FMS department.

If re-recording is required, you should refer to the archived data. To do this, a request is sent to the division of the migration service in which the person’s citizenship was established. It is stamped stating that the applicant has children.

You can also apply to reflect the data in your passport through the State Services portal. For this purpose, the application is submitted directly by the parents of the minor.

If it is impossible for the mother or father to complete the registration on their own, the involvement of representatives is allowed. They must have a power of attorney certified by a notary.

List of required documents

To make a mark, you need to prepare the following documents:

child's birth certificate;
passports of father and mother.

If documents are submitted only by the father or only by the mother, and both must be marked, a power of attorney from the second parent, drawn up in free form (without notarization), may be required in the name of the applicant. Also, if it is impossible for the father and mother to personally apply for the service, anyone can do this for them on the basis of a power of attorney.

Information about children can also be recorded on the guardians' identity card. In this case, a certificate of guardianship is added to the list of documents.

What to pay attention to

If you need to put a mark in your passport about children, proceed in this order:

one of the parents or both applies to the FMS or MFC department at the place of registration or actual residence;
present the collected package of papers. Not only originals, but also copies of documents are required;
within one day, the employee will verify the authenticity of the submitted data, and then enter the information received into the ID card of each parent.

If dad or mom decided to take care of the process separately and came to the department in person, then he should have with him a power of attorney from the other parent to consent to the procedure.

The entry of the received data onto the appropriate pages is secured with a special seal with the signature of the FMS inspector. This will confirm that the minor has Russian citizenship.

The mother has the right to make a note about the baby, even if she is not officially married to his father. The procedure is carried out without the latter’s personal presence.

Where is the child entered in the passport?

The territorial division of the migration service is authorized to make records about children. However, in 2020, a convenient innovation appeared: you can submit documents not only directly to the FMS office at the place of registration of the parents or the child himself, but also through a multifunctional center. MFC employees will accept a written application and independently contact the FMS. You can also add information about children to your personal account on the State Services portal. The data will be available when preparing other documents.

Procedure for entering information about a child

Until recently, children were entered into their passports at civil registry offices when issuing a birth certificate. The rules have changed since 2020. Now the migration service is in charge of assigning citizenship with a mark.

You can submit an application for registration directly to the Main Department of Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, through the multifunctional.

GUVM MIA

MFC

The MFC serves as an intermediary in the interaction of ordinary citizens with government authorities. To make a mark, you should collect the required papers and contact the specialists of the nearest MFC branch. From there, the information is sent for processing to the Main Department of Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the applicant receives a receipt confirming the acceptance of the package of documents.

Contacting through the MFC is easy and convenient. The service will be provided within several business days.

Is it possible to record it yourself?

The law stipulates that only FMS employees can record information in a passport. Independently entering information, as well as other marks, is regarded as intentional damage to the document. Such a passport will be considered invalid. To change it, you will have to contact the passport office at the place of registration, first paying a state fee and a fine of 100-300 rubles provided for an administrative offense.

How and where to enter information

Below we will try to figure out how to enter information about a child into a Russian passport in 2020 and what is needed for this, what documents will be required. As for the procedure itself, it is not at all complicated; it is enough to follow a certain sequence. If the baby has just been born, then first of all you need to get a birth certificate, otherwise the algorithm is the same.

It was previously said that when a child is entered into a passport, his age should not exceed 14 years, and parents must:

contact the department of the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
verbally declare the desire to make a note in the document about the baby;
submit the documents required by the procedure.

Migration officials may ask for photocopies of both passports, so it is better to prepare them in advance. It is worth remembering that only documents drawn up in the state language are accepted. If the child's birth certificate is in a foreign language, it will be necessary to provide a notarized translation.

If parents are registered at different addresses, one of them may also be required to provide a registration certificate confirming that the child is not registered at another address. Below we will talk about what is needed to include a child in a passport.

Which authorities should I contact?

Today, with the development of public administration and document management technologies, much of what we knew and were familiar to us has changed, and not everyone knows where to enter the child’s parents in the passport. And if previously this was done by the Civil Registry Office departments simultaneously with the issuance of a birth certificate, now this recording is carried out at the passport office at the place where the baby is registered.

In order to put a mark about children in a passport, it will not take much time, but still, to save time and save energy, it is worth knowing in advance where to go to add a child to the passport: the options will be discussed below.

GUVM MIA

Since April 2020, these functions have been assigned to the Main Directorate for Migration Issues of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. If any questions arise, citizens can get advice through the hotline of the Main Directorate for Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This department also has a service that gives citizens the opportunity to remotely submit or complete the necessary documents.

In order to make the necessary entry about children in the passport, you need to personally contact the department of the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the place of registration of one of the parents. The documents are submitted to a specialist who reviews them, and if all the information is submitted in full, he makes an entry in the “Children” column, which he then certifies with a red seal.

The following information must be indicated in the “Children” column:

last name, first name and patronymic of the child;
date of his birth;
floor.

Registrars are required to make such an entry on the day of the application; their actions to transfer the service to another date or force them to leave the document for several days are unlawful and may be the subject of a judicial appeal.

Multifunctional Center

Multifunctional centers (MFCs) were created to promptly provide government services for processing various documents. MFCs are government agencies that perform the functions of interaction between authorities of a city or all-Russian scale and ordinary people who need such services.

In order to include a child in a parent’s passport through the MFC, you need to collect a package of documents and submit them to a specialist at the center located in your area or region.

After receiving all the necessary information, the data is sent to the department of the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for processing, in return the center employee issues a receipt about the documents he accepted.

Public Services Portal

This procedure on the State Services portal differs from those described above, and it cannot be called traditional: you will not be able to see the entry in the passport, but upon subsequent registration this information will be available to all services.

Algorithm for entering data about a child:

Go to . Enter your personal information. On the “Personal Information” tab, click on the icon that says “Show all personal information.”
Scroll the personal data form to the end, on the left find the item “Add information about a child”, select it.
In the window that appears, you need to specify basic information about the children.

What documents are needed

Probably, almost all parents know what documents are needed to be included in the child’s passport, but it would not be amiss to provide a list of them.

To carry out the procedure you will need:

Internal passports of the Russian Federation of parents + 2 copies of each.
Baby's birth certificate + 2 copies.
A document confirming the registration of the baby (placed on the back of the birth certificate).
or a certificate confirming paternity (if the marriage is not registered).
Guardians can also enter information about their wards into their passports; to do this, they additionally need to submit documents confirming the right of guardianship.

As you can see from the list, the documents at the passport office for registering a child in a passport are the simplest, so collecting them will not take much time.

Where is the entry?

A stamp in the passport indicating the presence of children is placed by an employee of the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the presence of the applicant (in case of personal application). The identity document has a special place for recording - pages 16 and 17. At the top of the 17th page of the form is the inscription “Children”. On page 17, continued on page 16, there is a plate where personal data about children is entered: gender, surname, first name, patronymic, date of birth, personal code (not used).

A round red stamp is placed in the “Personal code” column confirming the child’s Russian citizenship. The stamp in the passport about children is placed as many times as the number of minor children the applicants have.

We recommend that you read more information about.

The procedure for entering the entry “children” in the passport through the MFC

In 2020, in order to enter a child into a Russian passport through an application to the MFC, you need to:

Prepare the necessary documentation package;
Make an appointment in advance or come to the nearest multifunctional center and take a coupon to the electronic queue;
Wait until the coupon number is displayed on the electronic display and go to the corresponding window;
Receive an application form from an MFC employee;
Fill out the application in accordance with the sample and submit it along with other required documents.
An MFC employee will check that the form is filled out correctly and that all required documentation is available, will issue a receipt for receipt of the papers, and will indicate the place and time for issuing the completed documents.
Take away identification documents with stamps or receive an official refusal to provide a service indicating the reasons.

Terms of provision and cost of services

When you contact the MFC, the mark in your passport will be made within five days. If you submit your documents directly to the FMS, the result will be ready on the same day.

The service is provided free of charge. Failure to register is also not subject to a fine.

Reasons for refusal

A refusal to provide a service can be obtained in the following cases:

if the applicant has not provided all the necessary documentation;
if the teenager is already 14 years old;
if the documents provided are invalid: for example, their validity period has expired, they are damaged or false;
unless it is proven that the baby has Russian citizenship by right of birth.

Why children are not included in the passport: reasons for refusal

In most applications, entering information into the passport does not cause any difficulties. But there are situations in which the migration service refuses:

• parent is not a citizen of the Russian Federation;

• an incomplete list of documents is provided;

• the child is 14 years old: he receives a passport independently;

• documents provided by parents are invalid.

IMPORTANT: the illegality of the refusal can be appealed to the higher authorities of the migration service.

Let's consider the possibility of indicating if the father or mother is officially a citizen of another state

One of the main purposes of noting children is to establish their citizenship. According to the law, a person is automatically considered a citizen of the Russian Federation if both parents have Russian passports. In other cases, establishing citizenship has its own peculiarities.

Situation 1

Mom - Svetlana, has Russian citizenship, dad - Mikhail is a stateless person, their newborn daughter - Kristina becomes a citizen of Russia, and therefore can be included in Svetlana’s Russian identity document.

Situation 2

Father - Richard, is a citizen of another state. His son, Victor, is not included in his document. Mother - Eva, citizen of the Russian Federation. Victor has the right to obtain Russian citizenship. In this case, written consent will be required from the foreign parent, then the child will be entered into Eva’s passport.

Situation 3

Maria and Leon are German citizens, their daughter Veronica was born on the territory of the Russian Federation, the newborn can receive Russian citizenship, confirmation of this will be a stamp on the birth certificate. There will be no mark on the parents' documents.

Central actions

It is important to know what to do if you need to enter information about children in the parents’ passports. First of all, you will need to collect basic documents. With the complete package, you must contact the registration authorities, where a stamp will be placed.

Our lawyers told us how to get a passport if there are no documents. We will explain whether there is a document that can replace the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation during elections.

general information

The passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation is the main document that allows you to confirm a person’s identity. It can also be used to certify to authorities that you have citizenship and a residence permit.

The document is issued to all people. The applicant's nationality, social origin, legal status and gender are not taken into account.

The passport has a form established at the legislative level. Therefore, when drawing up a document, all subjects are guided by its sample.

The information is entered in the state language, which is recognized as Russian. In the republics, inserts in the national language may be additionally attached.

The passport must contain basic information about the owner.

These are:

Full Name;
Place of Birth;
Date of Birth;
time of registration at the place of residence;
attitude towards military duty;
status regarding marriage;
presence of children, indicating their full name, age, gender, date of birth;
passport issuance stamp for foreign travel.

The passport is issued in accordance with the procedure established by the administrative regulations.

Sample marriage certificate

Papers and proof of citizenship

To enter information about children into parents' passports, certain papers must be available.

It is mandatory to provide the registration authorities with:

passports of father and mother;
the child's birth certificate with a citizenship stamp;
an extract from the house register or other document with which you can confirm the fact that the baby is registered at a specific address;
a certificate confirming the existence of an official relationship between the parents;
certificate of divorce between father and mother;
a medical certificate from the maternity hospital, which will help confirm the fact of the birth of a child in the absence of a certificate for it.

Sample birth certificate

Features of applying for a service if the second parent’s passport cannot be provided

Sometimes circumstances arise when it is necessary to include a child in the passport of only one of the parents, but it is impossible to provide an identity document of the other. Such situations include divorce, the death of one of the parents, or the father or mother living in another state. In such cases, in addition to the passport and birth certificate, one of the following documents should be added:

death certificate;
a statement in any form that the actual whereabouts of the second parent are unknown;
a certificate from the registry office stating that information about the father was established from the words of the mother;
certificate of divorce;
a court decision declaring the second parent missing;
a document confirming the parent’s residence in another state.

International passport

Many parents have a question about whether it is worth including their child in this document? A foreign passport is required for travelers to cross the state border. Currently, two types of passports are valid: biometric and old-style. The first passport is a card, the second is a separate document, similar in appearance to a national passport. There is no need to include your child in these samples. A separate passport is issued for any child, no matter how old he is. This will be the document giving the right to cross the border with your parents.

Making changes to the passport of the father and mother when changing the surname, name, patronymic of the child

If the baby’s personal information has changed, for example, last and patronymic names upon adoption, the question arises of entering new information into the parent’s passport. The Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated July 8, 1997 No. 828 does not directly indicate that in such situations it is necessary to change the parent’s identity document. However, the law contains a phrase that a document containing inaccurate and erroneous information must be replaced. Practice shows that it is better to change the passport, since corrections in this document are unacceptable, and a certificate of name change is not provided for the child. Otherwise, in some life situations, for example, when crossing the border, problems may arise with the identification and citizenship of the child. The procedure in this case will include the following steps:

Applying to the guardianship authorities for permission to change the name (surname, patronymic).
Obtaining a birth certificate in which new data is recorded.
Replacement of passport.

If you have any questions, consult a lawyer

Is there liability for missing an entry?

According to current laws, there is no penalty for unwillingness to provide information. Responsibility is provided for parents who independently recorded information on the page of the Russian passport.

Such actions constitute intentional damage and result in a fine of up to 300 rubles. A mark made by hand is invalid. A damaged document is considered unusable and requires replacement.

Despite the optional mark, it is recommended to make it for your own convenience and the absence of problems when processing payments. The passport page with children's data can serve as a replacement for a birth certificate in situations that require establishing a family relationship between the baby and the parent.

Grounds for refusal

In practice, there are non-standard situations in which the procedure may be denied. Let's figure out why the child was not included in the passport and whether there were reasons for this.

They may refuse for the following reasons:

Not all documents (birth certificate) are presented.
The child (parent) does not have Russian citizenship.
Children reaching 14 years of age.
Documents are expired, damaged or false.

If all the information is provided in full and there are no grounds for refusal, you should write a complaint to the Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of your region or appeal against unlawful actions in court.

Who makes the mark?

Photo source: fishki.net
Data about the child is entered on page 17 of the parent document in the appropriate columns. Self-registration by the passport holder is prohibited. Otherwise, you will need to completely replace the document with payment of a state fee and a fine for its damage.

The authorized service for the registration of a child’s data in the parental passport is the Main Directorate for Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. To carry out the procedure, it is enough to come to the branch of the government agency with a set of documents and within a day receive a mark or a refusal to carry it out.

The transfer of documents for registration to the department of the Main Department of Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs can be carried out remotely. One of the intermediaries for the transfer of documents is the MFC. The applicant simply needs to submit a package of documents to the nearest branch of the multifunctional center. Submitted documents will be submitted to the government agency for processing. The MFC operator will issue a receipt for receipt of documents and set a deadline for issuing completed documents. Taking into account the transfer and processing of documents, the work will take about 5 working days.

Another option for data transfer is the State Services portal. To use the functionality of the site, you must register on it and officially confirm your account. If the applicant is already registered on the portal, then in the “Personal Information” section you need to go to the “Add information about the child” tab and enter the necessary data. The entered information will be available to authorized bodies for further processing. But to directly enter data into parental passports, a personal visit to the office of the authorized body is required.

For any data submission option, there is no state fee to pay for the service.

Who can do this?

Previously, the birth of a child could be recorded by several government agencies in the Russian Federation, namely: the Civil Registry Office and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. But since 2008, in connection with the entry into force of FMS Order No. 64, the authority to enter information about the birth of a child in the parents’ passport was transferred to the territorial migration registration departments.

This measure was taken in order to comply with the law, as well as to minimize the loss of time for paperwork.

Thus, the main condition for making an entry in the passport of the father or mother of data about the baby is that the baby has citizenship by birth. And since the main goal of the Federal Migration Service is to supervise issues related to citizenship and migration of the population, it is precisely this structure, with their database, that is more convenient for tracking compliance with the requirements for entering information about the child, which is actually carried out.

Important nuances

Despite the fact that recording the presence of children is a very simple procedure, some difficulties may arise in the process.

Naturally, in order to avoid them, parents need to know about some of the features of this process.

What problems might arise?

As a rule, recording the presence of a baby does not cause any particular difficulties. However, this information carries another function, namely, determining the citizenship of the Russian Federation of the crumbs.

And if you have a foreign dad, problems are possible:

The same mother is required to present both passports - her own and the child’s father - to certify that the baby is not recognized as a citizen of another country.
If the child is already included in the father’s passport, the mother will be denied entry.
Difficulties may also arise if both parents are foreigners, given that you will have to document not only the fact that the child has no other citizenship, but also the birth of the baby within the Russian Federation.

Reasons for refusal

FMS Order No. 64 provides only two grounds for refusal.

Thus, by virtue of clause 21.4, the following entries are not made in the parents’ passport:

if it is not proven that the child is a citizen of the Russian Federation by birth;
if all documents are not submitted.

Can I enter it myself?

Some parents, despite the abundance of information in the public domain, still do not know who should include their children in the passport.

The law stipulates that only employees of the Federal Migration Service have the right to make an entry on an identity card.

If responsibility for lack of recording?

By virtue of the law, the passport must contain the information established by the rules of Order No. 64, otherwise the identity card is automatically considered invalid.

However, such strict rules do not apply to the entry of children, which in turn means there is no penalty.

Why don’t they enter information in the maternity hospital?

The main function of the maternity hospital is to assist in the birth of babies, and not to establish their citizenship literally from the first minute of life.

In addition, a note in the passport about the birth of a child implies entering the child’s last name, first name and patronymic, which at the time of his birth are not always fully approved by the parents. Therefore, they are given 30 days to make a final decision.

What should you pay special attention to?

You should pay attention to the following nuances:

whether the entry was made correctly and whether it corresponds letter by letter to the information from the baby’s metric;
whether a wet stamp has been affixed, as well as the signature of a FMS employee.

What is the validity period of a residence certificate? Find out from the article. What documents are needed to make temporary registration? You will find the list here.

Is it possible for a single mother or woman to seek services after a divorce?

The very fact of divorce or the status of a single mother does not mean the leveling of the rights to make an entry in the passport, given that the civil status of the parents does not in any way affect the child’s right to be a citizen of the Russian Federation.

However, the specified situations may create some difficulties:

If the mother is raising the child herself, due to the absence of the father, only the baby’s birth certificate will be required, which will actually confirm the fact that the child does not have a father within the law.
If we are talking about a woman who is divorced, it is also necessary to attach a certificate of divorce, as well as a statement from the father that he is a citizen of the Russian Federation, which is confirmed by the same copy of the passport. If the whereabouts of the father are not known to the ex-wife, in pursuance of clause 45.6 of Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 1325, a statement drawn up by the woman in any form is submitted stating that she does not have information about the man’s place of residence.

Are the stamp and signature of an authorized person required when making an entry?

By virtue of clause 21.5 of FMS Order No. 64, an official, if there is a request to make a record of the birth of a child in a passport, first makes copies of all submitted documents, and then makes a corresponding entry, which must be certified with a wet seal and signature.

Subsequently, a mark on the baby’s citizenship is also placed on his birth certificate by virtue of clause 21.8 of the specified regulatory act.

What should I do if I entered it myself?

Only migration registration authorities are authorized to make any entries on the identity card.

Any entry made by another person, even the owner of the passport, is regarded as damage to the specified document.

And since the form of the passport and records are approved by law, for unauthorized entry of information even about their own children, the same mother or father will face administrative punishment on the basis of Article 19.16 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation in the form of a fine of 300 rubles.

However, the fine itself is not so terrible, given that the passport will automatically become invalid and will have to be replaced.

Do I need to do it again when replacing my passport?

By virtue of the norms of Order No. 64, the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation must be periodically replaced due to a person’s maturation and changes in appearance, as well as some data.

Paragraph 5 of the Resolution states that a note about children is placed in the passport only if the child is under 14 years of age.

How is the procedure for a foreign citizen?

The procedure for recording the birth of a child in a foreigner’s passport is fraught with certain difficulties.

Employees of the Federal Migration Service of the Russian Federation do not have the right to make entries on an identity card issued in another country, since this is the prerogative of foreign authorities.

That is why the entry is made in the passport of the parent, who is a citizen of the Russian Federation and has a Russian passport, but the foreign father, in turn, must submit documents from the consulate of his country that the child is not a citizen of the father’s homeland.

Information about children in the passport

Are children now included in the old and new passports?

In Russia in 2020, old-style foreign passports are still valid, which can include information about children under 14 years of age. It is impossible to make a mark in a new document (the so-called biometric), since this is not provided for by law. If your old international passport has expired and you are applying for a new biometric one, then you cannot transfer information about children to it, since a new document can and should be made even for a child (see how to get a new international passport).

List of documents for making an entry and how long does it take to make it?

A note about children in the old passport is made within a few days. To do this, you need to know what to provide to the FMS:

parent's general passport and its copy;
the child’s birth certificate with a note on citizenship and its copy;
receipt of payment of state duty (500 rubles, details can be obtained from the Federal Migration Service);
application of the established form in two copies;
a foreign passport in which information must be entered.

Please note that in the near future the use of old foreign passports will be discontinued, so it is advisable to issue a separate new document for each family member; the application can be made on the government services website.
