From April 1, the Russians will try to book at the Migration Service passport - both regular and abroad - through the Internet. Theoretically, the new procedure should reduce the time of receipt of the document, as well as reduce the number of trips to the office of the FMS. However, it is already clear that the easy path to obtaining a passport will not.
Opportunity to order a passport on the internet was developed under the government program "Electronic Russia". As stated in the Federal Migration Service (FMS) of Russia, it can be done will be from April 1 on a single Internet portal gosuslugi. "We are talking about applications for a Russian passport, two types of passports - biometrics, for a period of 10 years old and, usually, in 5 years - explained at a press conference, Deputy Director of the FMS Ekaterina Egorova. - Also on the portal can be ordered addressable background information - to find out information about people with whom contacts had been lost. Last year we received 25 million such appeals, we think that this year there will be more. " It is understood that the new service will receive the documents soon.
However, initially at the site to register and create your own "personal office user." "To get to the site, will not have any digital signature, it makes the service more accessible. But to become a registered user, you must enter the number of certificates of the Fund of obligatory medical insurance - continued Yegorova. - After that, citizens will receive a password from the cabinet. " Password to use the internet portal will be sent by registered letter by regular mail.
Representatives of FMS could not clarify whether there is any agreement with the Russian Post to ensure that these messages reached quickly or at least to date, and is being done to protect important passwords, steal a letter which is not difficult. "The portal was developed by the Ministry of Communications and Communications, and the FMS only gives it one of the services - said the head of information management FMS Adrey Romankiv. - Everything related to the work site should be addressed to the Ministry ».
In turn, representatives of the agencies were able to tell just what you should do the Russians, after sending an application for a passport. "We get e-application and, if everything is filled correctly, begin to check the data", - said Yegorov. As an added Romanko, this kind of workflow reduces the time spent on verifying the information is almost two times: "In Moscow, when we used to spend on testing month, now, this procedure will take 2-3 weeks. How many will now have to wait for biometric passports, Romanko was unable to clarify, noting that in making this type of instrument employed not only the bodies of FMS. The value of the portal, said the FMS, the Russians will feel when they receive an email invitation to come for a passport.
Then the citizen must uphold all in the division of FMS, to show the originals of all required documents and as a receipt and send the image. How to assure employees of FMS, it is theoretically possible that "after an hour he can get a passport: employees simply paste a photo into a document." So it will, if lucky. If any document is not enough, visitors will visit the unit once again.
But for those who wish to issue biometric passports virtually nothing will change - they will, as now, twice to go to the FMS.

This is due to the need to advance photographed directly in the division of the migration service in a special booth.
; As a result, a new online service will be fully beneficial only wishing to find lost friends and colleagues around the yard. They now do not have to appear at the thresholds for units of service. "We certainly do not check whether or not they lived together, or studying, only to inform the wanted man that he was looking for, and the rest depends on whether a person wants to meet - explained Yegorova. - The applicant, we report only that registered or not wanted by people in a particular region ».
Running Portal public services delayed several times. Decree of the President implied that file tax returns, register vehicles and obtain foreign passports could already be in February 2010. But then the deadline was postponed to March 1. But by that time, none of these features do not work. The site, on the development and launch of which took 100 million rubles, it looks like a single directory for finding the right office phone or download the necessary forms in pdf.
