Many newlyweds are interested in the question of how long a passport is valid after the official registration of marital relations. This point is considered in article 32 of the RF IC. This section of the code contains information on what grounds may be for changing the surname.

Passport replacement procedure after marriage
In general, the process of changing a passport after marriage for women takes place in a standard way, just like when receiving a document for the first time. Many are interested in the question of where to change the document and what is the replacement period.
All actions related to obtaining a new passport are performed at the department of the Federal Migration Service. To do this, you will need to find out the work schedule of the institution and study in detail the list of documents that are necessary for the issuance of a new passport.
It should be noted that the migration service works not only at the federal, but also at the regional level. In other words, people can apply to any branch with a question on changing their passports. There may be some differences in the procedure for issuing a new document, however, they are very minor.
To apply for a passport replacement due to a change of surname, the following documents are required:
- An old passport with a marriage stamp.
- Application of the established form - 1 P.
- Certificate of marriage, where the old surname is spelled out. For registration, you will need a photocopy, but you will need to have the original on hand.
- Two photographs 3.5 * 4.5 cm. The photographs must be clear, correspond to the age of the person who applied and be taken in frontal view.
- A receipt for payment of the state duty - in the amount of 300 rubles.
On this, the list can be considered complete, with the exception of special cases, for example, when the passport does not contain a mark in the registration about the permanent place of residence, as well as the existence of children under 14 years old.
Passport change period after marriage
After the marriage registration has been carried out, the citizen must contact the FMS department with an application and a package of mandatory documentation, within 30 days. This period coincides with the replacement of the passport for any other reason.
If this deadline is violated, the violators will face administrative responsibility, in accordance with Art. 19.15 Administrative Code PF. The penalty is 3 thousand rubles, which is a sizeable sum for a young couple. In addition, for the capital regions - Moscow and St. Petersburg, the amount is 5 thousand rubles.
It is possible to avoid liability for missing the deadline for changing the passport when changing the surname only in the following cases:
- if the violation does not exceed 7 days;
- the violator has a well-founded valid reason why he was unable to submit documentation to replace the passport.
In the first case, the situation will depend on the employee of the migration service, and in the second, it will be enough to submit supporting documents.
As for the consideration by the document, the official is obliged:
- within 10 days from the date of acceptance of the documentation, consider the application, provided that the application takes place at the place of permanent registration of citizens' residence;
- within two months from the date of receipt of the application, change the passport to the applicant, if the application takes place not at the place of residence of the citizen.
It is important to know that the time allotted for the production of a new passport is calculated from the moment the package of documentation is received. In the event that a passport is the only document confirming the identity of a person, then you will need to obtain a temporary document from the migration service.
Conclusion
Replacing a sport after registering a marriage is considered a necessary procedure if one of the spouses is replaced. The procedure takes place in a standard manner and requires the applicant to issue special documentation.
