The Russian passport is a document issued to Russian citizens for travelling abroad. The Russian Federation currently issues two types of passports: non-biometric and biometric. Non-biometric passports are currently valid for only 5 years, biometric passports issued after 1 March 2010 are valid for 10 years and have an increased number of pages from 36 to 46. Due to the exclave position of Kaliningrad Oblast, which makes a passport an essential document at any age, citizens residing there are exempt from any fees for passport issue.〔http://kaliningrad.mid.ru/oformlenie-zagranpasporta〕 A citizen can be denied the right to leave Russia if (s)he: # had signed a contract with the government allowing access to state secrets with provision restricting his/her right to leave the country, until the restriction is lifted as specified in the contract; # has been conscripted to the military or alternative civil service, until the completion of service; # is a defendant under criminal prosecution, until the verdict is reached; # is convicted of a crime, until completion of serving time or acquittal; # is avoiding obligations imposed by the court, until fulfilling the obligations or achieving consent between the parties; # provided false information in his/her application, until the situation is deemed resolved by the processing agency; # is employed by the Federal Security Service, until the expiration of contract; # has been declared bankrupt, until the settlement is reached by the court of arbitration. Children under 18 travelling without both parents must have written consent of both parents allowing their departure from country. When a child travels with one parent, consent of another parent is not required. Articles 20 and 21 of the Federal Law "On the entry in the Russian Federation and departure from the Russian Federation" govern only ''departure from'' Russia and have nothing to do with the requirements of other countries regarding ''entry to'' these countries. In addition to regular passport there are three special-purpose types of passports for travelling abroad: diplomatic passport, service passport (issued to government employees going abroad on official business) and seaman's passport. ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Russian passport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
