Is it possible to fly without a passport. How to fly away if you lost your passport in Russia. What to do if you find a mistake in the Surname or Name on the ticket

Social networks are being torn apart by a story that happened this weekend at Aeroflot: a 15-year-old girl flew alone from Moscow to Sofia and dropped her passport in the boarding gallery. Outraged parents collect hundreds of reposts of a heartbreaking story, the essence of which, in short, is that the girl was let out of the plane, but they were not allowed back in, preferring instead to take off their luggage and.

We will not continue to incite and take the side of the parents or the airline (because there is no evidence other than the words of the child and the words of its representatives), but we will tell you what to do in general in such situations. It should be noted that it is also better to send a child aged 12-16 alone), then specially trained people will be responsible for him and he will not lose anything. For children 5-12 years old, this is generally the only way to fly without parents.

Passport lost on the way to the airport

Congratulations, you are not flying anywhere, you will not be registered without a passport, and if you check in online, you will not be allowed into the “sterile zone”. If you are in Russia and depart on a domestic flight, then you can show a passport or a military ID as an identity card, in most cases this “rolls”. If you are flying overseas, then no.

If you are flying from abroad, then if you lose your passport, you will have to contact the Russian consulate or embassy, ​​and also look for two people who are ready to confirm that you are you. But it is much easier to bring at least some document, for example, rights or a work pass. Therefore, when traveling abroad, take your internal passport with you and keep it separate from the foreign one, without putting all your eggs in one basket. Photocopies of documents or their scans shown on the tablet screen are not documents, but they will also slightly speed up the process.

The consulate will give you a certificate that replaces the passport. It is valid for 15 days, and you can use it to fly home - in most cases by buying a new ticket. If you are the well-known Masha the confused, it is better to immediately buy fully refundable fares, including no-show fares (Aeroflot has Premium).

Passport lost in the "clean zone" of the airport

It happens that the loss of a passport is detected already in the "clean zone" of the airport. In most cases, it is lost during the inspection, when the passenger, who presented his passport and boarding pass at the entrance to the inspection, continues to hold it in his hands and then begins to undress in front of the introscope tape. Someone automatically puts the documents directly on the instroscope, someone in a drawer, someone convulsively stuffs it into the back pocket of their jeans, from where they safely fall out. It happens that the passport is put in the pocket of the jacket, it goes to the introscope, clings to something, and the passport falls out inside the device. In general, the first thing to do is run back to the screening, if you have not yet been called on the speakerphone by the aviation security service.

Passport lost on plane

The passport will be checked when boarding the plane not at all airports and not for all destinations, often a boarding pass is enough. Therefore, having boarded the plane and not finding a passport, we can assume that he disappeared in a clean zone, and not on board. Leaving the board in search of a passport, you are likely to repeat the fate of the girl. The fact is that if a passenger boards the plane and then leaves, then this will be considered a refusal of the flight (after all, it is not known whether you will find a passport or not). Moreover, it may be necessary to re-screen the aircraft and all passengers - what if a terrorist planted a bomb in the cabin or in someone's bag and decided to escape? True, there are no clear regulations on this matter: it happens that everyone is dropped off, and it happens that they simply take off the baggage of the “fugitive”.

However, if you do not exit immediately, you can fly to your destination.

If you lost your passport on a domestic flight within Russia, nothing complicated: at the destination, you will need to contact the UVM and file an application for the loss of a passport, then receive a temporary identity card in the form 2P. With it, you can go back. This scheme should be used if you are flying on a very important matter; then, when you return home, you can quickly issue a new passport.

If you are flying overseas you will simply not be allowed into the country and deported back; most likely fly the same plane. Miles for the return flight will not be credited 😉

If you are flying from abroad to Russia, then there are legends that you, too, will be sent back to a foreign country and forced to go to the consulate. This is a heresy that needs to be renounced, because you will be allowed to go home in any case, but not immediately, but after passing through the identification procedure. If you have a Russian passport or some other documents with you - great, if not - call your relatives to bring them from home, otherwise you will be stuck at the airport for a long time.

Consulates or embassies of Russia, as well as a certificate with a seal, according to which they will sell you without a passport. Next, you must, without fail, personally apply to the Russian consulate with a statement. The consular staff will send a request to your place of residence to confirm your personal data. After that, you will be able to receive a document - a certificate of return, with which you will pass customs control when entering Russia, regardless of the presence or absence of a visa.

With the same certificate, you will be able to move around the territory of Russia, if you need to go home through several settlements. The consulate may require any other documents that allow you to accurately establish your identity and place of residence in the Russian Federation. Also, duly certified statements of at least two Russian citizens confirming your identity will help you - this will speed up the process.

According to the certificate received from the police, you will not only be sold a ticket, in which the consulate or embassy of Russia is located, but later, after receiving the documents at the consulate, a ticket to Russia. Of course, all this will come with costs. In addition, it is not necessary that the police will know Russian - get ready to explain yourself in the language of the host country, in extreme cases - in English. You will also need to draw up an application in the language of the country in which everything happened.

After visiting the police and the embassy and buying a ticket with all the certificates received, you can safely fly home. You are unlikely to be able to continue your journey anywhere else without a passport - it is better to return to your place of permanent residence.

For people who are used to traveling by rail, buying air tickets is sometimes difficult and involves several questions: is it possible to buy tickets with a Russian passport and is it necessary to immediately provide a visa, for example, when booking tickets to Europe?

You will need

• - general passport;
• - international passport.

Instruction

To purchase an air ticket, you may need only two documents - this is a general civil and foreign one. The type of document that is required when issuing a ticket depends on the country that the traveler intends to visit. If all movements are exclusively within the territory of the Russian Federation, then it will be enough to buy a ticket - it will also have to be presented at the airport at. However, it is also possible to enter the territory of some CIS countries under an internal Russian document. Such agreements are in force with the Republic of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. It is also possible to enter Abkhazia by Russian.

To buy tickets to all other countries, a passport is required. At the same time, countries are conditionally divided into three categories: those for which a visa is required in advance; countries where a visa can be obtained on the spot, and countries for which no visa is required. The list of the latter is updated every year. Israel, Armenia, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Serbia, Montenegro and some other countries remain unchanged in this list. In addition, the number of countries with which Russia bilaterally simplifies the visa regime is increasing every year.

Another important nuance that must be taken into account when booking a ticket is the validity of the passport. There is a whole list of countries that you can visit only with a passport with a sufficient validity period. For some countries, this period should not be less than 6 months at the time of entry, for others - at least 6 months at the time of departure. In some countries, you can enter with a passport, which will be valid for another three months. Therefore, it is impossible to issue tickets for one international passport, and then, having realized it, it is impossible to change it to another: registration is carried out precisely according to the document for which the ticket was issued.

In addition to countries where entry is not burdened with special formalities, there are those in which this process is taken very seriously. Pre-registration of a visa to visit Europe, America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and a number of other countries is mandatory for all citizens of the Russian Federation. In most cases, the decision to issue a visa is positive, but the percentage of refusals still exists. Therefore, when purchasing tickets for these destinations, you need to be aware of the current fare. If the fare is standard, then you can return the money for the ticket. But if the fare turns out to be non-refundable (most often tickets for some promotions and sales), it will turn out doubly unpleasant: both the visa was refused and the money for the ticket was not returned. So it’s better to find out such details all the same on the shore.

note

Pay attention to the validity of the passport.
