Simplified Rules for Passport Issuance and Citizen Registration
Changes pertain to Resolution No. 167 dated April 12, 2024, which regulates the process of issuing ID cards and passports for citizens. In particular, the concept of a Unified Information System for Notaries has been added to the regulatory framework.
According to the new rules, for obtaining a general civil passport, registration or consular accounting is not mandatory for children under 16 years old.
The list of documents required to confirm citizenship has also been clarified, including cases where data is absent in state databases or it is impossible to provide documents in digital format through the mobile application "Tunduk." The procedure for changing nationality has also been regulated, specifying the necessary supporting documents.
Some changes concern the procedures for canceling and withdrawing old passports, as well as issuing new ones in case of loss.
Additionally, amendments have been made to Resolution No. 435 dated July 31, 2024, which regulates the rules for registering and deregistering citizens at their place of residence and stay. In particular, the possibilities for using a notarized power of attorney in situations where data is absent in state registers have been expanded.
These changes will come into effect in a week.
