Every day there is growing concern about the inability to renew a biometric passport for 10 years among Russian citizens living in Germany. And this is justified, because news feeds and forums in Russia are full of information that they no longer issue biometric passports valid for 10 years.
Residents of Moscow were first informed that there were no restrictions on obtaining a new passport.
Later, the lack of a service for issuing biometric passports was explained by technical reasons prevailing at the printing house in Goznak. The company said the shortage was due to increased demand for biometric passports and the chips used in their production.
Earlier, the Interior Ministry said that in 2022 Russians issued 40% more passports. In just 12 months, foreigners welcomed 5.4 million people. In 2021, there were 1.5 million fewer.
Biometric passport (biopassport) – a new generation passport and visa (PVD np) – containing the biometric parameters of its owner, i.e. a physical characteristic or a measurable behavioral trait used to recognize a person, identify him or her check if he is who he claims to be. Unlike the old-fashioned passport, it is issued for a period of 10 years.
Despite the impossibility of creating a biometric passport on the territory of the Russian Federation, you can still apply for a 10-year biometric passport at the Russian consulate in Germany.
And our recommendation is to start issuing a passport in advance – 6 months before the expiration date of the current passport, so as not to delay the document, since the demand for it has increased significantly today.
