Documents checklist

The most frequent applications and the documents the Russian authorities ask for:

Russian passport for travel abroad (zagranpasport)

• Application form prepared online: zp.midpass.ru (biometric 10-year passport) or passportzu.kdmid.ru (5-year passport)
• Photo 35 × 45 mm attached to the application (one extra photo for the non-biometric passport)
• Your current Russian passport for travel abroad – or a valid internal passport if it has expired, is unusable or was never issued
• If the name has changed: marriage or name-change certificate; foreign documents need an apostille and a notarised Russian translation
• If the old passport was lost: a written statement about the loss
• Most consulates work by appointment only (electronic queue)
