Is it possible to fly with a passport replacement certificate?

You can't even imagine how many questions people have when buying air tickets. But the most numerous on request is “can I fly with a certificate of passport replacement”? After looking at this issue, we are faced with an ambiguous answer. Therefore, if you want to purchase a ticket with a certificate of passport replacement for an airplane, you need to decide where you will fly and for how long. The legislation of the Russian Federation provides for a number of nuances for people who are temporarily left without the main document confirming their identity.

We would like to point out that to buy a ticket, you do not need the original document confirming your identity, but you must have a copy of your passport (data written from it) with you, or, in case of its loss, a certificate of its replacement.

Cases, replacement of the main document

The legislation of the Russian Federation provides for the replacement of a passport in the following cases:

• planned replacement due to reaching the age of 14, 20 and 45;
• loss of a document;
• surname change (when registering a marriage).

It is necessary to understand that if you decide to fly outside the Russian Federation, then the ticket will be bought according to your passport. Take care of its design in advance.

Prohibitions on purchasing air tickets

But how to buy a plane ticket if you have a replacement passport and you need to fly abroad? Unfortunately, if your data on a Russian passport and a foreign one does not match, then the trip will have to be postponed until the data in both documents match. Of course, in some airlines there are a number of exceptions, but it is better not to risk it and clarify this issue in advance by calling the airline's hotline and specifying whether it is possible to fly without documents. However, for a flight to a number of countries, you may not need an international passport:

• Belarus;
• Kazakhstan;
• Kyrgyzstan;
• Tajikistan;

Flight with a certificate of passport replacement within the country

Let's return to the question of how to fly by plane if the passport is being replaced. When the flight takes place within the country, there should be no reason to worry. It is enough to show a temporary certificate and after checking you should be allowed on board the plane.

Also, difficulties should not arise if you bought or booked a ticket in advance, and then changed your passport, due to a planned replacement. The situation is more acute, if the document has been lost, most experienced citizens advise, in order to avoid an awkward situation, to call and notify the airline employees about its loss. If the receipt of a new passport is caused by a change of surname (marriage), then you will have to take with you a document confirming its replacement - a marriage registration certificate. In all cases, the passport data on your ticket will simply be corrected to be correct.
