Extract from the workbook: how to get a passport without it

For a long time everyone knows that most of our citizens work without a work book. Of course, this is sometimes much easier: the employer does not bear any responsibility for his employee. Did not come out today? I'll find a new one. Did not do all the work on time? I will not pay.

Of course, sometimes an extract from a work record is very important, but is the book itself important? As follows from the forums, discussions on this topic last a very long time, but there is still no consensus so far.

For example, if you are worried about paying a pension, the usual contract concluded with the employer can serve as the same proof of length of service.

The second point, which does not speak in favor of the work book, is the increase in the retirement age. Of course, today passions have subsided, but there is no guarantee that this issue will not be raised again.

It turns out that having a work record is useful, but not necessary.

Before moving on to the question of why an extract from the workbook might be necessary, it is necessary to discuss something else.

If you suddenly decide to go abroad and you urgently need to get a passport, then an extract from the work book for the passport must be required. How else? This is the law. This is where the most interesting thing awaits: you work without a document. How to be?

In principle, you can write that you work, for example, as Deputy Minister for Agriculture in any field. Yes, but you still want to prove it:

• Firstly, you must very accurately indicate your place of work in the column "Work Activity";
• Secondly, do not forget to indicate that you are working under a civil law contract;
• Thirdly, even if you do not have an extract from the workbook, this is absolutely no reason not to issue you a passport.

So, what do you need to get an overseas passport:

• A questionnaire or a completed application, which is essentially the same, and in duplicate and with the assurance of your employer, if you work;
• 3 photos of you full face;
• Of course, the passport of the Russian Federation;
• An extract from the workbook, if it is, of course, you have;
• Receipt of paid state duty;
• If you work in the federal executive body or are a member of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, then you need a travel authorization;
• If you have already been issued a foreign passport, then you will need to provide it;
• If you are the director of a firm, you will also need an extract from the trade register, which must be sure that your company is actually registered (this is true at the time of initial registration or when you receive the first foreign passport).

It hardly worth recalling that the application form must be filled in block letters only.

In addition, the procedure for obtaining a passport is very simple. It's only a matter of time.

If you have all the documents on hand, then you need to allocate time, come to the Office of the Federal Migration Service and file an application with the attached documents for the issuance of your passport.

Some people manage to get a passport in a couple of weeks, and some take more than a month. Probably, it's about luck or even personal connections.

Although, judge for yourself ....
