Identity document citizens are removed. Are the new Electronic Policy of OMS And (!) UEC identification documents in individual cases, such as a police stop or a cashier's request? What information does a civil passport contain

Does a residence permit (residence permit) certify the identity of a foreigner (stateless person) in Russia?

Citizens of which countries can enter the Russian Federation with internal passports (ID cards)?

Do children need a passport to enter the Russian Federation, or can they get by with a birth certificate?

The answer to the first and second questions is contained in article 10, part 1 of the federal law of 25.07.2002 N 115-FZ "On the legal status of foreign citizens in Russian Federation":

Article 10. Identity documents foreign citizen In Russian federation

1. The identity documents of a foreign citizen in the Russian Federation are the foreign citizen's passport or other document established by federal law or recognized in accordance with international treaty Of the Russian Federation as an identity document of a foreign citizen.

2. The documents proving the identity of a stateless person in the Russian Federation are:

1) a document issued by a foreign state and recognized in accordance with an international treaty of the Russian Federation as a document certifying the identity of a stateless person;
2) a temporary residence permit;
3) a residence permit;
4) other documents provided for by federal law or recognized in accordance with an international treaty of the Russian Federation as documents proving the identity of a stateless person.

In other words, the main document proving the identity of a foreigner in Russia is his passport (except for some cases, which we will consider below). Another conclusion is that a residence permit (residence permit) certifies the identity of only those foreigners who do not have citizenship, that is, who are stateless persons (LBG).

Russian law also defines certain categories of foreigners to whom the Russian authorities can issue temporary documents proving their identity.

To whom can such documents be issued?

Foreigners applying for Russian citizenship until, at the time of consideration of documents, a temporary identity card is issued (this is stated in the federal law of 31.05.2002 N 62-FZ "On the citizenship of the Russian Federation").

Foreigners wishing to obtain asylum in Russia are also issued temporary documents that they will use instead of a passport in accordance with the federal law of February 19, 1993 N 4528-I "On Refugees":

For refugees- this is a refugee certificate;
Foreigners awaiting refugee status, at the time of consideration of the appeal, a special certificate is issued;
A similar certificate is also issued to foreigners granted temporary asylum.

In addition, some countries have agreed with Russia on the use of other documents in the Russian Federation as an identity document, primarily “internal” passports, and for children - birth certificates.

Based on world practice, two key features of official papers included in the list of identity documents can be distinguished - the generally accepted status and the minimum amount of requisites. Due to sufficient content, such credentials can be used to resolve various issues.

Relevance of the issue of identity documents

The concept under consideration is primarily mentioned in Federal Law No. 3: representatives law enforcement has the right to demand a certificate for the performance of official duties. However, the law does not approve a specific list of documents that must be provided in in this case.

To understand what types of identity cards are distinguished and in what cases they are considered valid, you need to delve into legislative framework Russia.

When is it necessary to provide a document

The first reason why it is important for a citizen to have official papers with him is to provide a certificate at the request of the police. However, there may be other cases that require their presence in mandatory... In particular, they are associated with various legal relationships.

According to the background information published on the Consultant Plus website, the need for certification documents is justified by the following:

  • passing of state registration;
  • employment;
  • paperwork for receiving payments and other social services;
  • crossing the border of the country;
  • conducting monetary transactions;
  • change state exams at the end of grades 9 and 11;
  • transactions for the purchase and sale of property;
  • taking part in national elections;
  • other.

Identity card can be compared to the guarantor of a person's personal rights and responsibility, since this document allows individuals to perform certain legally significant actions. At the same time, the personal data provided or indicated in any form confirms the responsibility for the fulfillment of each.

List of identity cards of universal nature on the territory of Russia

There is a misconception that to identify the subject, it is enough to provide an official paper with a personal photograph, stamps, and also signatures of a notary. However, there is a limited list that is generally accepted for identity verification. Some of the documents are enshrined in federal legislation as identity documents, which is the basis for their official recognition... Since in this case they have legal force.

Among the universal credentials accepted when you have Russian citizenship, relate:

  • valid internal passport (defined as the main document in accordance with the provisions of Presidential Decree No. 232);
  • a serviceman's identity card (established by Resolution No. 91 issued by the Government);
  • a temporary certificate issued upon receipt of a new passport, in the form of 2P (according to the act of the Government - Resolution No. 828).

Note! Officially, a person can be identified only if there are originals of these documents, copies are not recognized even if notarized.

As a certificate, the main document of the previously effective legislation can be used - the passport of the USSR. Taking into account the provisions of Federal Law No. 62, it is possible to present it subject to the basic requirements:

According to legal act, the ticket is recognized as an official identification method only in the case of being on service. If left in stock, it becomes invalid.

Important! The reason for the recognition that the identity document of the Russian Federation is invalid is the delay. Any evidence provided must be current, updated upon completion of the specified deadline.

Other official means of identification

In addition to the specified list, other certificates are accepted as valid. The reference information indicates that upon request, the citizen can present the following identity cards:

  • official, if it is issued to an employee of the prosecutor's office by the Prosecutor General (according to Federal Law No. 2202-1);
  • birth certificate for children under 14 years old (according to Federal Law No. 143);

Documents that are recognized as identity cards for foreigners on the territory of the Russian Federation

Copies of the passport (including certified by a notary);

If an international treaty of the Russian Federation provides for visa-free entry natural person- non-resident arriving from foreign country to the territory of Russia, then an entry visa is not required.

Sometimes a person has a question: "What documents proving the identity of citizens of the Russian Federation can really be called such?" Of course, all of them to some extent are confirming - student ID, diploma, certificate from the clinic. But which of them can be presented as proof of identity?

Passport

This is the main document. Everyone who has reached the age of 14 should have it. A passport is a valid identity document. Inside, all the necessary information about the person is indicated: full name, gender, age, place of registration, marital status, city in which he was born, as well as information about previously issued passports.

The first document is valid for six years. Then, when a person turns 20, he is obliged to replace him. The reason lies in age: in six years - from adolescence to adolescence - people undergo significant external changes, so this measure is necessary. Next time you will need to repeat this procedure only at 45 years old. With the exception of those girls who decide to get married and take the surname of their husband, or individuals who want to change any (surname, name or patronymic). After receiving the document at the age of 45, you do not have to worry - you will no longer need to change your passport.

Talking about the main documents of the Russian Federation, certifying the identity of a citizen, one cannot fail to note one important nuance. The passport must be changed on time, otherwise, after a month from the date of birth, the citizen will be fined. In addition, such paper is considered invalid, and its use is tantamount to possession of false documents.

International passport

He is also included in the list called "Identity documents of citizens of the Russian Federation." There is only one caveat. They are allowed to be used by Russian citizens who live outside their country. But if a person needs to buy, for example, cigarettes, then they must have a document to check their age. In this case, the foreign passport, which is in the bag, and not the general civil passport, can also be presented.

One more point. The identity card of a foreign citizen (national passport), in accordance with an international treaty, is also recognized in Russia as an official document. Every person who has the citizenship of another state, but resides in the territory of the Russian Federation, can use his national passport.

Passport from the past

Identity documents for citizens of the Russian Federation also include a passport of the 1974 model. This is possible on the basis of Article 42 of Federal Law No. 62, which states that all documents issued during the Soviet era, in accordance with the legislation on Russian citizenship, retain their legal force and continue to be considered valid until the person decides to make a replacement.

But it is more expedient to get Russian passport since many Soviet documents are in unsatisfactory condition: the paper has turned yellow, the ink has faded, and the information on their pages cannot be read. Accordingly, the passport for this reason may be considered invalid.

Information for the military

Identity documents for citizens of the Russian Federation are not only civil, Soviet and foreign passports. There is another type, namely a sailor's passport. Since 2014, all the ID cards of people serving in the navy are called that way. They are issued, of course, only to seafarers working for foreign or Russian courts flying abroad. Cadets also receive such documents.

There are also identification cards for Russian military personnel. They are issued to people holding the positions of officers, warrant officers and warrant officers - for the period during which they are in the service.

And, of course, a military ID - you cannot forget about it when listing documents proving your identity in the Russian Federation. They are issued to all serving young people: sergeants, foremen, sailors, soldiers, cadets, warrant officers. Such a document certifies both the identity and legal position young men. But if it is in stock, then the paper loses its meaning, in other words, it ceases to be an identity card.

Information for foreigners

The main document of a person who comes to Russia from another country is his residence permit. Also, a temporary residence permit and a passport issued by a foreign state are suitable as an identity card. If a person is a citizen of Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, then as official document they must have a certificate of return with them. This is in addition to a regular passport and a service passport (if any).

The Ukrainians have a wider list of supporting documents. This can be a child's travel document, an aircraft crew member's certificate, a foreign passport, and

Driver's license

Many people, thinking about which documents are an identity card in Russia, ask themselves a question with regards to a driver's license. For example, if you buy something that requires proof of age, you can successfully show it. But in this case, there is an ambiguous situation. On the one hand, the driver's license is not marked in any normative act as an identity document. But nevertheless, there are many based on the content of which it is possible to draw the opposite conclusion. For example, the definition of GKPI 06-1016 given The Supreme Court... According to him, a driver's license is not only a confirmation of the fact that their owner is allowed to drive a car - they also indicate that they belong to this particular person, since they need a passport to issue them. But at the same time, after the presentation of the rights, you can receive the parcel by mail, and make bank transfer it is forbidden. It will work to buy a ticket to a neighboring city, but not to issue a loan. In general, the issue is controversial.

What documents do not prove your identity?

It's also a pretty sensitive topic. The list of identity documents for citizens of the Russian Federation is rather limited. As for the reverse list, it is somewhat broader. You should list the papers that do not officially confirm the identity of the Russian:

  • A lawyer's certificate and a paper issued to employees of the FSB, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the police and the tax office.
  • Government civil servant certificates.
  • A notarized copy of a civil passport.
  • together with a student card.
  • Certificates of disabled people, veterans, honorary donors, members of various societies.
  • Labor and medical books.

In general, any documents that meet the minimum requirements that are usually required for identity cards cannot be considered identity papers. They operate only in that highly specialized area for which they were originally intended.

Rare cases

What documents are considered to be the identity of a person, in addition to the above? They exist, but they are much less common, since they can only be owned by non-residents of the Russian Federation.

First of all, this is a temporary residence permit. Only it must be drawn up in the prescribed manner. The second document is a refugee certificate. Third - certificate of consideration of the application for recognition a certain person a refugee on the territory of Russia. These documents certify the identity of not only foreigners, but also stateless persons.

By the way, many non-residents are interested in whether they can use banking services without a passport? Yes, this is possible, but they are required to provide all original documents proving their identity that were issued government bodies their home country. In addition, all of the above papers must be legalized at the Russian embassy abroad or at the consulate of a foreign state that provided these documents to a citizen currently living in the Russian Federation.

For overseas trips

Naturally, on the territory of another country, a foreign passport with a visa is required. But this is not all outside the state. There is also a diplomatic passport. It is issued to people who, on duty, often leave the territory of Russia. It is important to know that a diplomatic passport, like a service passport, is the property of Russia, subject to return.

By the way, there is one more document that everyone has - even those who do not have a civil passport. This is a birth certificate, which is also a valid identity document.

Finally, it is worth noting that it is advisable to constantly carry with you any identity documents in the Russian Federation. Especially in modern world when official papers are required to be presented in many situations.
