Foreign passport for storage: State Duma has increased the rules of departure of citizens from

New amendments to the law will allow citizens to withdraw a foreign passport in a number of cases, including if a Russian citizen passes military service. The State Duma adopted in the third reading amendment to Law No. 1231732-7, which allows the authorities of the Russian Federation to withdraw a foreign passport from citizens in the event of military service. This was reported on the website of the Lower House of Parliament.

According to the new provisions of the bill, the Russian authorities can remove documents in the following situations: in such cases, a foreign passport of a Russian citizen may be deposited with one of the authorities within 5 days after the official notification. Documents from citizens may also be selected in the following cases: in such cases, the decision to seize documents will be made by the court, or the customs service, or other agencies.

It is stated that the return of documents can be made after the deadline for imposing restrictions. According to the association "Military Lawyers", the bill does not mention the provision according to which there is a ban on the departure of Russian citizens who received the summons of the military commissariat from the day when it is considered presented.

According to lawyers, the very fact of the summons, including its electronic version, is not a basis for the transfer of documents for storage. We will remind, on April 11, in the Russian State Duma considered amendments to legislation that legalize electronic summons.
