In the Duma introduced a bill that would prohibit retire old passport at the time of new ones. Russian will be able to travel abroad for valid document until the passport office draws up a new.
In the State Duma a bill that would allow citizens at the time of the new passport to travel abroad. "Making the norm aims to resolve a situation where a citizen can not travel abroad for a considerable time during the design of a new document," - said to Gazeta.ru author of the bill, the chairman of the Duma Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Building Vladimir Pligin.
The bill proposes to leave the holder of a valid passport at the time of new documents.
Now am 3 tablespoons. 11 of the Law "On procedure of exit from the Russian Federation and Entry into the Russian Federation said that without the removal of the old passport to issue a new document can be confined to citizens, whose activity is associated with frequent travel abroad. "It's not just the owners of diplomatic passports - explained Pligin. - This, for example, entrepreneurs who work in international companies or joint ventures. " All other valid travel document should take at a time when a citizen has deposited documents in the new passport. Thus, prior to obtaining a new document (by law design takes a month) the citizen is prevented from traveling abroad. And such actions of the passport offices, as indicated in a memorandum to the bill, enter "into an actual conflict with Part 2 of Art. 27 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, where the right of every citizen of the Russian Federation on the right to travel outside our country is not limited for reasons of administrative procedures required to process the relevant documents (passports). "Change can be a passport for several reasons: if expire, if filled with all of the pages or, for example, if a passport is something poured out" - said Pligin.
Now the Russians will be able to hand over documents to the new passport - and while there is a design, easy to travel abroad at the prevailing old.
Nevertheless, to carry two passports ordinary Russian citizen will still not be able to: the issuance of the document has already drawn up his will take away the old one.
According to Pligin, the initiative would not require additional bureaucracy: a set of documents and questionnaires bill does not change. "Adoption of the draft federal law would create additional legislative safeguards to ensure the constitutional rights of every citizen of Russia to free travel outside the country and return to the Russian Federation", - the author sums up in a memorandum.
In the offices of the FMS sometimes go towards the citizens and do not remove the old passport is already pending, invalidating them already in issuing the new document - but this violates Part 2 Art. 11 of the Law "On procedure of exit from the Russian Federation and Entry into the Russian Federation." If the bill comes into force, employees of passport offices do not have to break the law at the request of the applicants.
Recently, it was not the first initiative to a system for obtaining passports in Russia.
Only in early July, the Duma bill was introduced in doubles validity of the biometric passport - from 5 to 10 years.
Among its authors are also listed Vladimir Pligin. Due to the increased shelf life of the passport of a new sample, say the authors of the amendments will increase and the cost of the document, since it will require twice as many pages. Passports for privileged categories of citizens (children under 14 years old and retired people) instead of 500 rubles, will cost 1,2 thousand rubles, and for the rest of the cost increases from 1 to 2 thousand rubles. If the law is approved by the State Duma and Federation Council, the new rules come into force on Jan. 15, 2010. Now design an ordinary passport costs 400 rubles, biometrics - 1 thousand rubles.
The Federal Migration Service (FMS) launched an initiative to create a state unitary enterprise (SUE), which would for the extra money be through more quickly to citizens passport.
According to authorities, it could become a serious competitor to private firms, are drawing up the passport fee (the cost of services depending on the timing of the document - from 10 to 40 thousand). As stated a number of media officials of FMS, the rapid clearance of foreign passports in GUPe would cost "two to three times above the normal duties", that is 2-3 thousand rubles, and a passport in the hands of the citizen will receive less than a "legal" per month. "While the prices and terms are not precisely defined, because all is under development. But the timing will depend on the willingness of the citizen: if he needed to get a passport within a day or two weeks. I do not know yet whether or not depend on this money, "- said," Gazeta.ru "the press service of the FMS.
If the initiative is approved, the state boosters will work in the fall as an experiment in Moscow, Moscow region and St. Petersburg. During the experiment, it turns out the number of those wishing to use such public services and the possible rapid clearance of the passport.
