Rules and procedure for the exchange

By law, after registering a marriage, a woman must submit documents for the replacement of the passport for the next 30 days.

If after the wedding the woman decides to leave her last name, you do not need to change the document.

Its size can fluctuate. The maximum amount that can be assigned to the guilty is 3,000 rubles. For capital prices, the maximum penalty is 5,000 rubles.

It is possible to increase the allotted time in exceptional cases. There must be a valid reason for breaking the law. In this situation, the relevant documents are provided, justifying the disruption of the term. At the discretion of the representative of the FMS, applicants who surrendered the documents later but no more than 7 days can avoid the fine.

The period of replacement of a passport after marriage is also regulated by law:

• if a new document is issued at the place of registration - 10 days;
• if the place of the actual stay is 2 months.

For this, in the process of submitting a package of documents, you must provide one more photo. After that the FMS officer is obliged to issue a temporary certificate. It is handed over after receiving a new passport.
