If you discover your passport has been stolen, do not panic. By following a certain procedure for document restoration, you can quickly and easily obtain a new passport without negative consequences. It should be warned that it is better not to hesitate and try to write a statement about the theft of your passport on the very first day of its loss. Otherwise, your passport may be used by scammers.
In accordance with the law, Article No. 325 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation regulates the circumstances of passport theft. Usually, when documents are stolen, a criminal case is opened, as a result of which the offender receives the punishment prescribed by law.
Actions if your passport is stolen
First, you should familiarize yourself with the current regulatory framework, thanks to which you can protect yourself from violations by police officers or the Federal Migration Service. Regulatory acts governing this procedure:
- Regulations on the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation dated July 8, 1997 N 828.
- Order of the Federal Migration Service of the Russian Federation “On approval of the Administrative Regulations of the Federal Migration Service (FMS) for the provision of public services for issuing or replacing with a new passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, identifying a citizen on the territory of the Russian Federation”, November 30, 2012 under N 391.
So, let's start with the main thing, namely: what to do if your passport is stolen and you need to quickly restore it. The first thing you need to do is contact the police department and be sure to write a statement about the theft. It is better to contact the police at your place of residence, that is, where you were issued the document.
After registering the application by the police, you will be given a special notification coupon. If you have it, it will be easier for you to track the progress of your application and contact the FMS to issue a passport.
Please note that it is better not to delay and write an application within 24 hours. Because even in a short period of time, your passport can be used to commit illegal actions or implement various fraud schemes
And if you do not have a document confirming the loss (a receipt for registering this statement, a response to a statement from the police), then you may be accused of involvement in illegal actions and participation in them. The next step will be to apply to the Federal Migration Service of the Russian Federation for a new document.
If your passport was lost or stolen abroad, then you need to contact the nearest consulate of the Russian Federation or embassy of the Russian Federation. When planning a trip or trip, it is recommended to write down the addresses and phone numbers of the consulate in advance and take it with you.
Damage to money article of the Russian Criminal Code
Photo: AiF / Vadim Kochugov By the way, the “advertisers” themselves, if they don’t know, then guess that their advertising turns money into waste. They only put stamps on banknotes of 50 and 100 rubles.
No such stamps were seen on 5,000 ruble bills. It turns out that businessmen, in pursuit of profit, spoil state property, which is money.
And this is not an idle question - the reissue of the money supply is carried out at the expense of the taxes that we pay. That is, from our pockets. There is an instruction of the Bank of Russia dated December 26, 2006 No. 1778-U “On the signs of solvency and rules for the exchange of banknotes and coins of the Bank of Russia,” which states that banknotes of the Bank of Russia are solvent if they have the force of a legal means of cash payment on the territory of the Russian Federation, not containing signs of counterfeiting,” they told AiF-Primorye in the department of information support and mass communications of the State Administration of the Bank of Russia for the Primorsky Territory. — Or having damage of the following nature: dirty, worn, torn; having abrasions, small holes, punctures, extraneous inscriptions, stains, stamp impressions; This means that such banknotes are required to be accepted by credit institutions and for all types of payments.

Absent dwk Member Registered: 10/12/2007 Messages: 5 Re: Responsibility for damage to banknotes I am going to make a stand or some kind of layout, for which I will have to irrevocably damage a certain number of coins and banknotes.
Previously, the Central Bank reported that the average life of a banknote is approximately 2.5 years, that is, annually the Central Bank removes from circulation and destroys about 2.5 billion banknotes. The same amount of paper money is printed and put into circulation (the Central Bank does not disclose the costs of this process). According to the General Director of FSUE Goznak Arkady Trachuk, printing the cheapest banknotes costs from 600–700 rubles (with minimal protection against counterfeiting) to over 3 thousand rubles per 1 thousand pieces. Thus, the reprinting of banknotes withdrawn from circulation alone (without taking into account the cost of their disposal) amounts to more than 3 billion rubles per year.
5 years ago, the Bank of Russia conducted an experiment to extend the life of banknotes: in Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg and Tatarstan, hundred-ruble banknotes coated with a special water-repellent varnish were put into circulation. None. Money is your property, be it paper money or coins, you can do with it what you want. As is known, coins can be made into monistos and worn around the neck; paper coins can be torn, cut, burned, etc. I remembered that when I once came home for the holidays as a student, they told me how my dad, returning home after getting paid, crumpled a wad of three rubles in his hand and scattered them along the street with the words “damned money...”. I also had such a case when some banknotes got fried under a table lamp. So I took them to the savings bank, and after some time (at some insignificant percentage) they were returned to me intact.
Good evening! Find this article on the Internet and read it if you are interested. DAMAGE OF MONEY AND COUNTERFEITING: LEGAL SIDE OF PHENOMENA AND RESPONSIBILITY OF I.I.
KUCHEROV Kucherov Ilya Ilyich, Doctor of Law, Professor, Chief Researcher of the Department of Financial, Tax and Budget Legislation of the Institute of Legislation and Comparative Law under the Government of the Russian Federation. From the perspective of the science of financial law, such phenomena as damage to money and counterfeiting (counterfeiting cash banknotes), which invariably cause harm to the monetary system, are considered. Damage to money and counterfeiting have always shown a certain similarity in terms of the methods of their implementation and resulted in equally destructive negative consequences for monetary circulation. Damage to money and counterfeiting are fundamentally different legal phenomena.
How to file a claim for lost passport
First of all, if you lose your passport, you need to submit a corresponding application to the passport office - this is a mandatory procedure to restore the document. In this case, the law does not provide any special requirements, but there is one point: it must be handwritten by the applicant personally and signed at the end. What should be in the application? The following information:
- When exactly did the theft or loss of the passport occur?
- Where exactly did this event happen?
- What circumstances accompanied the loss of the passport?
But here it is necessary to clarify such a point so that there is no confusion. If your documents were stolen, you should file a statement about the loss of your passport with the internal affairs authorities - it will be registered. In other cases, proceed according to the above scheme.
What are the consequences of losing a Russian citizen’s passport?
As you know, a Russian passport is an important document that certifies the identity of a citizen in Russia, so such an unpleasant situation as the loss or theft of a document is a serious matter. It is worth taking into account that the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation contains Article 19.16, which prescribes certain sanctions in the event that a citizen has deliberately or negligently lost or damaged his passport. Although, the imposition of administrative liability expressed in monetary terms is not so severe, and in addition to the state duty, the citizen will have to pay a fine of 100 to 300 rubles, or he will be given an appropriate warning. Despite the minor sanctions, you need to understand the fact that liability is established by law for the loss, careless storage or damage of a passport - that is, this situation is an offense.
It is worth clarifying an important point: Article 19.16 can be applied to a citizen who has lost his passport only in a situation where his guilt is proven. This is stated in the legislative act.
The situation changes for the “worse” in a situation where a citizen does not understand the seriousness of responsibility for the loss of a passport and for a long time does not apply to the Main Directorate of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia to restore the document. And when he needs a new passport and submits documents, Article 19.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses may be applied to him, the essence of which is that the citizen lives at his place of residence without a passport. In this case, penalties in the amount of 2,000 to 3,000 rubles (not counting state fees) may be applied to the offender. If you live in Moscow or St. Petersburg, the fine if proven guilty will range from 3,000 to 5,000 rubles.
Now do you understand the degree of responsibility? Do you need to figure out what to do when your passport is lost?
Actions if your passport was stolen and a loan was taken out
If your passport is stolen and a loan is taken out, the bank may accuse you of fraud, and first of all you need to be aware of the consequences and problems that you may face.
If you do not report the theft to the police, your passport remains valid. This means that an attacker can apply for a loan in your name, buy tickets, SIM cards, or commit other illegal actions.
According to Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, such actions will be regarded as fraud. The article provides for criminal liability, a fine, compulsory/corrective/forced labor, arrest or imprisonment of the offender for up to two years.
The first thing you need to do is write a statement to the police and to the bank about the loss of your passport, if that is where the message about loan reimbursement came from. If you have previously contacted the police with a statement about the loss of a document, then in this case you only need to write a statement to the bank and attach a notification coupon issued by the police.
In the application you must indicate that you did not take out a loan and attach a copy of the certificate of loss or a new document. In this case, the bank is obliged to provide you with documents, which include:
- credit application.
- certified copies of your passport.
- loan agreement.
You must pay attention to the loan agreement and the signature, and indicate to the bank employee that this is not your signature. Then there are 2 ways - either the bank believed you or not
In the latter case, you have the right to file a lawsuit. If the problem is resolved, then you should call the bank and check whether they have made a change to your credit history.
Without a passport, you can also apply for a loan or complete other transactions if you have a temporary certificate issued by the Federal Migration Service.
To summarize, it should be noted that passport theft is a serious matter, and the sooner you contact the police, the less problems you will have with resolving the possible consequences. And the consequences, as you can see, are different. By focusing on the legislative norms in this matter, you can quickly restore the document.
In Vladivostok, money “smells” of advertising
The corruption of money initially served as one of the main sources of formation of public finances and in this sense did not go beyond the state’s abuse of its right to issue money, and, accordingly, did not require counteraction. On the contrary, counterfeiting, as a private form of damage to banknotes, has always been a socially dangerous and criminally punishable act, for which the most severe penalties were provided.
The article presents the history of the emergence and development of damage to banknotes and counterfeiting both in Russia and abroad, distinguishes between these two legal phenomena and presents various ways to combat them in different historical periods. Currently, in the Russian Federation, counterfeiting is defined as a crime in the sphere of economic activity, for which criminal liability is provided.

What is the amount of state duty for losing a Russian passport?
We have already found out what documents are needed to restore a passport if lost. Let's now figure out how much state duty we will have to pay.
Note that from the point of view of the law, there is no difference between whether you lost your passport, damaged it, or it was simply stolen from you. You will have to pay a fine. Moreover, its size is the same in all cases and will be five hundred rubles.
The law also provides for a fine for deliberate damage to a passport. But this fact is almost impossible to prove in real life, and therefore they cannot apply it to you.
To restore lost documents, including passports, you can use the services of the State Services website. You don't even have to leave your home to apply. But, on the other hand, it is not convenient in all cases. If your passport is stolen, you cannot do without visiting the internal affairs authorities. Therefore, you still have to stand in lines.
Responsibility for the loss of a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation
A passport is the main document without which it is impossible to find a job, take out a bank loan, travel somewhere, get a driver’s license, etc.
You can guess that neglecting such an important document as a Russian passport will not happen without punishment from government agencies.
For loss, careless storage, or rendering an identity card unusable, you will have to pay from 100 to 300 rubles in accordance with the administrative code of the Russian Federation. Despite the small size of the fine, you still shouldn’t become a criminal.
Punishment is also provided for the use of an unsuitable document. Only the amount of the fine increases significantly and is already from two to three thousand rubles in the regions, and in the capital the figure reaches up to 5,000 rubles.
In comparison with these amounts, the payment of state duty for damage to a passport is quite small and equals 500 rubles. Upon reaching the border age, changing your last name and first name, even less - 200 rubles.
In the most favorable outcome, you can get away with just a verbal reprimand from migration service officials. But such benefits are provided in the event of extenuating circumstances for the document owner. If a similar situation occurs again, the fine may increase.
Procedure in case of loss of passport
After losing your identity card, you need to take care of getting a new document as soon as possible. In addition to submitting the necessary package of documents to restore your passport, you will have to pay a fine and a state fee.
The application is submitted to the branch of the Federal Migration Service of Russia. Moreover, you can receive the finished document in hand within 10 days by applying for it to the migration service authorities at the place of registration.
If we are talking about a unit that is not geographically attached to the place of residence of the applicant, then the established period reaches two months. During this time, the official will be able to check the relevance and accuracy of the information provided.
It happens that the period for obtaining a passport is delayed and if the 60-day mark is exceeded, the applicant has the right to complain about FMS employees to higher structures.
Anyone applying for the restoration of a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation can, if desired, receive a temporary identity card. To do this, you must write an application accompanied by a photograph and an identity document.
Such a certificate received from the migration service is an official document and is returned in exchange for a completed and restored passport.
Recommendations
As a conclusion to our humble story, we would like to wish our colleagues greater attentiveness and prudence. It is well known that the director does not always personally sign and “stamp” the issued invoices - this responsibility may in fact fall on the shoulders of an accountant, coordinator, secretary, etc. Anything can happen. What if the chief accountant urgently needs to go to the Federal Tax Service in the middle of the working day, and there is simply no one to leave the stamp. Then the chief accountant mechanically takes it with him into his purse and goes to the Tax Office. It is unlikely that the trip will be safe from the point of view of potential threats - your handbag can be stolen, it can be accidentally left in a taxi or on the subway, in the end, the stamp can simply be dropped - a lot depends on luck here too. In any case, an excellent place for stamps is still not a “box in the nightstand”, but a good and reliable safe. That’s basically what it was created for, dear readers.
We wish you success and thank you for your attention!
Contacting the police if your passport is stolen abroad
The first thing that comes to mind when you don’t find the main documents in your bag is: what to do?
If you lose or steal any items of particular value, including your personal passport, you must immediately contact the nearest police department in your city of residence. They must issue a certificate confirming the absence of a passport, which is needed for presentation to the embassy and upon return to their homeland.
To begin, foreign police will need confirmation of the identity of the applicant. Any document will do for this: a preserved certified copy of a stolen passport, a valid driver’s license, or a library card for using the library. In general, any personal document that contains the owner’s full initials and some kind of seal will be useful.
If you do not have any identifying documents, you can bring with you two witnesses who have national passports who can confirm your identity.
After the identification procedure, the embassy is required to issue a certificate of return, according to which you can freely fly back. To obtain this paper you will have to pay a mandatory fee of 20 to 100 dollars. It all depends on the current legislation of the country where the theft occurred.
The difficulty that fellow citizens may encounter when a valid passport is stolen, the language barrier, without the accompaniment of a competent translator, explaining to a police officer what kind of certificate is required and for what purpose will be quite difficult. Without an identification document, movement within another country will be quite limited.
After all the red tape and payment of the state fee, the certificate issued by the embassy will have a validity period of 15 days, this is the maximum time within which you need to return to your homeland.
All the fuss and troubles for a citizen who has lost his passport abroad does not end there. Upon returning to his native land, he needs to perform the following actions:
- You need to submit an official certificate to the local Ministry of Foreign Affairs or MFS, where there will be marks on passing access control;
- The certificate issued by the embassy 10 days after return completely replaces a personal passport.
When going to an unfamiliar country, you need to be extremely vigilant and store important documents in a place where you will definitely not forget about them.
How to restore a passport of a Russian citizen
Many people are concerned about the question: how to restore a passport if it was lost due to negligence? Previously, we listed a list of necessary documents that you should have in your hands before going to the passport office. The institution's staff will accept your application and package of documents and issue you with a corresponding receipt.
How long will the applicant have to wait for a new passport? The following deadlines are provided for the registration of a new document by passport offices:
- A ten-day period, but in cases where the applicant has a permanent residence permit in the territory of the service unit.
- The period can be up to 2 months if the citizen does not have a residence permit, or the previous passport was issued by another department.
After accepting the package of documents and the application, the passport office employee is obliged to announce the timing of the production of the new document and indicate the exact date when the new passport can be picked up.
Who will determine the price of lost things?
Banknotes may not be accepted. Flyers and announcements on fences apparently no longer attract people's attention. That's why we decided to print advertisements on money. It’s just that the “inventors” ruined the Bank of Russia notes with their stamp. The state is forced to withdraw money from circulation with such “art” in the margins.
Article 186 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation 2016-2019. Manufacturing, storing, transporting or selling counterfeit money or securities.
The objective side of the crime is expressed in actions - the production or sale of counterfeit money or securities.
Who would have thought, but the bank will even accept two halves of different bills. True, there are conditions: there must be only two pieces, and each of them must be no less than 50% of the whole bill. Well, the denomination of the banknotes from which these fragments remain must be the same.
Go to the police
The main thing is that everything must be done as quickly as possible. If you want to save time and effort, you don’t need to talk about the theft of the bag where the passport was - finding the thief, as a rule, is almost impossible, and a statement to the police department about the theft provokes a full-fledged investigation with all that it entails - testimony, liability for false testimony, and so on. . Otherwise, the policeman will register your statement about the loss of your passport and issue a notification coupon. The longer you wait, the more chances there are for criminals to use your passport. For example, take out a huge loan on it. If you submit an application, your passport will be put on the wanted list and will automatically become invalid.
The nuances of contacting the consulate if you have lost your passport
Diplomatic institutions are in most cases located in the capitals of states, with only rare exceptions being present in large cities. At the same time, in some countries of the world there may be no direct Russian representation at all, and the issues of stay of Russian citizens and the implementation of other diplomatic procedures may be dealt with by an embassy or consulate located in a neighboring country.
In case of loss of a foreign passport, contacting a diplomatic institution will require the Russian to travel independently to its location. If it is located outside of such a state, you will need to contact the consulate by phone or ask the police for a document that would allow you to cross the border. In most diplomatic institutions, appointment times are strictly limited and last only a few hours, but no prior appointment is required in case of loss of a passport.
note
A reliable way to verify your identity, even in the absence of witnesses and the loss of all existing documents, is by using a photocopy of your passport or any other such document. Including in electronic form. Therefore, many travel agencies strongly recommend scanning documents before traveling abroad and sending them to your email in order to be able to demonstrate such copies or print them even if all possible documents are completely lost.
If it is possible to verify the identity of the citizen of the Russian Federation who has applied to them, the consulate will issue a certificate for returning to their homeland and will require payment of a consular fee for the production of the document and to cover the corresponding expenses. If a person does not have the opportunity to pay the consular fee, employees of the diplomatic institution will still be required to issue such a certificate if there are grounds for this and all supporting documents.
Important fact
The consulate does not provide the purchase of a return ticket, the issuance of money to Russians in trouble, or any other provision for Russians beyond the standards established by law. However, consular officers can help obtain money transfer funds from relatives if the person contacting them does not have the documents necessary to present to a banking institution or international money transfer service.
What to do if your passport is found
There are often situations when a person finds his passport. Perhaps he was not initially lost, but was only lying at home in another place. Or, returning to the place where the document was lost, you manage to find it. This can happen if a citizen forgot his identity card at a government agency.
If a person is sure that attackers did not manage to use the document, then it is worth informing the migration service about the find. Then it will be possible to cancel the replacement procedure. But, if it is unknown whether the passport was in the hands of dishonest people, then it is better to replace it. Because it is not always possible to immediately find out whether criminal fraud was carried out using an identity card.
When you manage to find the robbers and take the document from them, then it is still better to replace it. This is necessary so that they do not take out an illegal loan, because they might have had time to rewrite passport information and even issue a power of attorney. But, of course, a citizen himself can decide what to do in a specific situation.

What other problems might arise?
This topic interested us so much that we decided to get acquainted with what our colleagues were discussing on the forums. It turned out that there are many directors who simply “forget” that their seal has disappeared. True, at the end of their story they still recommend getting rid of this addiction. Thus, the director of one organization, having left a seal with documents on the front seat of his car, discovered that the seal and papers were not there. It was obvious that the car had been broken into, but for some hardly explainable reasons he did not contact the police, but decided to simply order a new seal. It had exactly the same imprint as the stolen one. After about a month, strangers began to call him with threats that they would sue him if he either did not provide the services under the contract or did not return the money... The misunderstanding on the part of the director was both understandable and at the same time frankly stupid. It would be easy to guess that attackers have already used the company seal of his organization. Fortunately, the case did not go to trial, but our hero had to run around the authorities quite a bit in order to resolve the current situation.
Another problem is sabotage for the sake of sabotage. To some extent, this brings us back to the story with Tamara Grigorievna, where her dissatisfied clients could pursue the goal of not only financial “profit,” but also a kind of “revenge” for the disagreements that they may have had.
Procedure if your passport is lost
The main document used by Russians to travel to most other countries in the world is a foreign passport. It is this document that is considered an internationally established standard for determining the identity of a foreigner. Therefore, its loss can lead to a number of legal problems in other states. In particular, to deportation or a ban on entry due to a possible violation of the visa regime and terms of stay, because it is in foreign passports that the dates of entry into and exit from the state are recorded.
In general, each country has its own regulations regarding possible actions in the event of loss of a passport or other identity document by foreigners. However, in general, the procedure for the loss or theft of a foreign passport will be as follows:
- Contacting the police. You must immediately contact local law enforcement agencies and write a corresponding statement about the loss of your foreign passport. It is mandatory to require a protocol in the prescribed form, and not a certificate or other document that does not have legal force.
- After contacting the police, you must go to the Russian diplomatic mission. These can be the consular department at the embassy, the Russian consulate itself, or, in case of extreme necessity and in the absence of the above-mentioned representative offices, an honorary consulate.
- The consulate must request a certificate to return home due to the loss of an identification document. To do this, you must present a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, or another document that allows you to verify your identity or citizenship. If the applicant does not have such documents with him, then diplomatic representatives of the Russian Federation may require the testimony of two witnesses - citizens of the Russian Federation who can verify the identity of the applicant. In their absence, you will need to wait for the necessary documents to be sent by post or for confirmation of identity through an official request from the consuls to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. In addition, you must provide two photographs 3.5x4.5 cm.
- Within fifteen days after the issuance of a certificate for returning to your homeland, you must cross the Russian border and submit such a certificate within three days to the migration department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or to the representative office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, depending on which structure this document was issued from.
However, despite the apparent simplicity of such actions, in reality, with each of the above points, certain difficulties may arise, depending on many factors. The most problematic situations associated with each stage of action in case of loss of documents, as well as mechanisms and methods for solving them will be discussed further.
Smuggling of cash and/or monetary instruments
And when covering the topic of “careful attitude towards banknotes,” it is especially necessary to point out to the population “proper storage of banknotes, excluding storage in places that lead to damage to banknotes,” Yurov points out in the document. Apparently, the police are so busy at work that they didn’t watch the month-old videos in which the leader of the Orthodox movement “God’s Will” Dmitry Tsorionov (nickname Enteo) does not hide his involvement in what happened in Manege, calling his actions protecting the feelings of believers.
Selling fake money is an attempt to put counterfeit money into circulation. Counterfeiters try to buy something in stores, change banknotes in stalls where machines for checking the authenticity of banknotes are not installed.
It is worth noting that if counterfeiting money is carried out not with the purpose of introducing it into circulation, but with the intention of misleading a limited number of citizens, then such a crime is classified as fraud.
The threat of disseminating other information that could cause harm to the victim or his relatives.
In most cases, as they say, it is their own fault - they washed it, poured paint on it, and left it to mold in the basement. What now – count losses?
The question is if there was a criminal record 5 years ago. Then you entered the military department at a university, completed your studies, and before training camp they asked for a certificate? Do they have the right to expel? I've been studying for a year now.
New passport
A foreign passport can only be obtained if you have a passport of a citizen of Ukraine (i.e., you will not be issued one with a temporary identity card).
You need to go to the passport office and apply for a new passport; there is no such thing as restoring a lost passport. In any case, the procedure for obtaining a foreign passport in place of a lost one is no different from the usual registration of a foreign passport.
Those visas that were already in the old passport at the time of disappearance - no one will restore them, especially if they have already expired. If the visas are still valid, you need to contact the embassy of the country whose visas can be restored using their internal procedure.
You can contact the Passport Service at the address: Kyiv, blvd. T. Shevchenka, 27 (all addresses in Ukraine can be found).
Required list of documents to obtain a passport:
- Passport of a citizen of Ukraine (original and copy 1, 2 (if information 5,6 is available) and pages with registration (with all registration stamps) in 2 copies).
- Certificate of assignment of identification number (original and one copy).
- A passport of a citizen of Ukraine for traveling abroad and a child’s travel document (if available, even if they have expired).
- Payment document (receipt) for payment of state duty, administrative services, blank products and their personalization, as well as payment of the cost. (All payments are made locally).
The cost of obtaining a foreign passport at the Passport Service (DP “Document”):
- up to 30 working days – 627.15 UAH;
- up to 10 working days – 884.30 UAH.
If you do it through (the passport office at your place of registration) it will be cheaper:
Until the seal is restored...
This is where the fun begins for the firm's company. In particular, as mentioned above, using the example of Tamara Grigorievna, the organization becomes practically paralyzed, i.e. it may actually suspend its activities. Please sign contracts, but without a seal, counterparties may simply refuse to cooperate, because a document that does not have it is not such by definition. The most unfavorable thing here is that the return to normal operation is affected not only by the speed and efficiency of the actions of the injured company, but also by the quality of the police work. In each individual case, the time frame for solving this problem can last from several days to several months. At the same time, no one limits the organization from making a new seal for itself in just one or two days. However, as long as her “clone” is in the hands of criminals, it is unlikely that she will be able to live in peace. In general, it is advisable that she be found as quickly as possible. This will help reduce this problem to “no” in the shortest possible time.
Where to go if your passport is stolen
Procedure in case of passport theft:
- First of all, you should immediately contact the internal affairs authorities with a statement of theft. After registering the application, a notification coupon is issued.

In case of theft, a criminal case will be initiated; in case of loss, you will receive a decision to refuse to initiate criminal proceedings.
Very often, criminals steal a document in order to use it to obtain loans or open shell companies.

Protest bills, or Money smells
Recently, Russia has found an original way to express protest - inscriptions are made on banknotes. At the same time, banknotes are photographed, the pictures are posted on the Internet, and then, according to the authors of the photos, they are put into circulation. After all, you can happily tear a propaganda or advertising leaflet into shreds, but you won’t raise your hand for cash.
Some citizens expressed their disagreement with the results of the latest elections to the State Duma of the Russian Federation with the help of appropriate inscriptions on paper money. It is as if criminal cases have not yet been initiated against them, but there is already one precedent, also related to politics, in Russia.
In Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, a criminal case was initiated against a 53-year-old local resident on the grounds of a crime under Part 1 of Art. 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (actions aimed at inciting hatred or enmity, as well as humiliating the dignity of a person or group of persons on the basis of gender, race, nationality, language, origin, attitude to religion, as well as belonging to any social group, committed in public or using the media).
According to the Internet portal “Tomsk News” with reference to data from the regional department of the Russian Investigative Committee, on July 22, 2011, during operational search activities, banknotes with handwritten inscriptions of an extremist nature were seized. Investigators have established that banknotes with similar inscriptions have been in circulation since February 2011. A handwriting study was carried out, which helped to identify the person who wrote the inscriptions on the money. The department did not specify the content of the inscriptions.
Currently, investigative actions and operational search activities are being carried out aimed at establishing all the circumstances of the crime committed. The criminal investigation continues.
The idea of turning the money supply into a means of agitation and propaganda may seem original, but it does not bode well. And not only to all normal citizens, but also to the “fighters against the regime” themselves, who have this very money. Let's explain with a simple example.
Just five years ago, looking for a bank that would carry out operations to exchange damaged banknotes was a day-long endeavor. And not in some remote corner, but even in the capital. Finding such an exchanger is not so bad, but for the exchange itself you had to pay from 3 to 7 percent of the denomination of the banknote. Then the banks’ statements - “we’ll take it at half price” - were rightly declared illegal, albeit with one indispensable condition: if the degree of damage caused to the banknote does not exceed 55 percent of its area.
That document from the Central Bank stipulated that even banknotes glued together from ten pieces are valid for exchange. Banks were required to accept banknotes that had changed color and glow in ultraviolet rays, if the images on them were clearly visible.
Does anyone sincerely want the old decree to return, tightening the exchange of damaged banknotes, which include banknotes with inscriptions? Indeed, in addition to provocative and, as it now turns out, also criminal inscriptions of an extremist nature, there is also direct economic damage to the national currency.
It seems that in relation to persons putting inscriptions on Russian rubles, and therefore for their deliberate damage, the articles of the Criminal Code should be applied, punishing criminal offenses in the economic sphere. Let the lawyers think about this issue. It seems that there is no article for intentional damage to Russian banknotes in Russian legislation yet. But there is liability for intentional damage to banknotes in a number of other, as they say, civilized states. And again the eternal Russian lag!
And for those who want to express their protest sentiments in an intelligent form, we can recommend scribbling something on a bank card. On your own, of course. You definitely won’t get jailed for this - just be able to come to an agreement with the bank. And the ATM will give you your hard-earned money, on which there will be no obscenity.

Damage to banknotes article of the Russian Criminal Code
Hello, in this article we will try to answer the question “Damage of banknotes is an article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.” You can also consult with lawyers online for free directly on the website.

Where to go if you lose your passport
To obtain a passport in Russia, theoretically, you can contact several authorities - the migration department (FMS), as well as the service department (formerly the MFC). You can write an application for a first passport, a replacement, as well as when changing your last name, appearance and gender through the State Services portal online.
Service is a registration system that operates on a single window principle. Here you can apply for your first document or change it upon reaching your 20th and 45th birthdays. The State Services portal accepts applications via the Internet, which allows a citizen to submit an application in absentia, and then come to the FMS office to receive a completed identity card at the appointed time. But it is impossible to submit a statement about the loss of a passport and issue a new one to replace the old one through “My Documents” or the State Services portal.
If there was a loss of an identity card due to negligence, you need to contact the migration department or the police department. To do this, a person must appear in person with documents.
An application for replacement is completed using a single form 1P (a sample can be obtained from the FMS office). You must manually enter the following information into the form:
- last name, first name and patronymic of the applicant;
- gender identity;
- date, year and place of birth;
- civil status (indicating the full name and date of birth of the spouse);
- date and place of marriage registration;
- Full name of parents;
- place of residence and current stay.
In addition to the basic data, the reason for replacing the passport (loss, theft, damage) must be indicated and the applicant’s signature must be affixed. If the document was changed shortly before, the details of the previous document are indicated on the back of the form. At the bottom of the 1P form is the signature of the head of the department, as well as the passport data and mark of the employee who accepted the statement of loss.
