The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia urged citizens to check their passports before vacation

The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs has called on Russians to check the data and validity periods of their passports before their summer vacation. This is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the press service of the department.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs reminded that on the eve of holidays it is necessary to check the availability of documents in advance. “Entry and exit to the territory of Russia is carried out if a citizen has a foreign passport, which is an official document and certifies the identity of a citizen outside Russia,” the ministry said.

Any Russian citizen can obtain a foreign passport in accordance with the established rules, regardless of age. Upon receipt of the document, it is necessary to carefully check the correctness of writing the data, as well as point out other possible errors, the Interior Ministry stressed.

If an error is detected or the installation data is changed, you should promptly contact any migration department at the place of registration or actual residence. “Such a passport will be replaced free of charge,” the Interior Ministry noted.

Earlier, the Association of Tour Operators of Russia reported that Russians may have problems with passports at the border. The reason for the withdrawal of the document may be the use of the letter “e”, the outdated name of the place of birth, the peculiarities of the typewritten pin and incorrect transliteration.
