State Duma Deputy Kamnev reminded about the invalidity of the passport when registering independently

Brief retelling from RIA II

Independent entry of any entries and marks into the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation automatically makes it invalid.

Notes on registration at the place of residence or deregistration and on military service are mandatory, and notes on marriage or divorce, on children under 14 years of age and on previously issued passports are made at the request of the citizen.

On January 1, 2026, a new procedure for identification by entry number in the Unified Federal Information Register of Population Information (URN) came into force, and the TIN is no longer affixed to the passport.

MOSCOW, September 13 - RIA Novosti. Independent entry of any entries and marks into the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation automatically makes it invalid, since this is the authority of government departments, State Duma deputy Georgy Kamnev told RIA Novosti.

“Independently making any entries and marks in a passport automatically makes it invalid, that is, a useless piece of paper. Because making entries in passports is the authority of government departments, such as the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the tax service, the registry office. A creative approach is inappropriate here,” said Kamnev.

The parliamentarian clarified that marks in a Russian passport are divided into mandatory and voluntary.

“According to the law, mandatory notes include notes on registration at the place of residence or deregistration, that is, what we call “registration”, and on military service, but this is for citizens liable for military service,” he emphasized.

The deputy added that notes on marriage or divorce, children under 14 years of age, as well as previously issued passports are made only at the request of the citizen. In addition, according to him, data from SNILS, compulsory medical insurance policy and driver’s license cannot be entered into the passport.

“If you wish, you can put a mark on your blood type and Rh factor in your passport, but to do this you will first have to take a blood test, and the stamp will be put by a medical institution. Until the end of 2025, you could put a TIN in your passport, but from January 1, 2026, a new procedure for identification by record number in the Unified Federal Information Register of Population Information (URN) came into force. There, just as in the case of the TIN, a unique digital code from 12 characters, and if the citizen has such a desire, the tax service puts it in the passport,” he explained.
