Acceptance of applications for a new passport is suspended at state services
The portal of public services temporarily suspended the reception of applications for the issuance of passports of a new sample with an electronic media.
"Since February 2, the acceptance of applications for the release of passports of a new sample with an electronic media is temporarily suspended," the page appears on the request for registration of the relevant document.
If the user has already applied for a new passport through the "Public Services", you need to wait for a response with instructions from the department.
The applicant can go to the migration unit at the place of registration of the document.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade reports that the production of chips for passports has not stopped, shipments of new batches continue, and the suspension in the issuance of documents is associated with the “donation of some processes” at the enterprises of the Micron Group.
The passport of the new sample is biometric and is designed for 10 years of use. On the title page, the document contains a microchip with information about the owner and scans of his fingerprints.
