In case of loss of passport abroad, a citizen should contact the diplomatic representative of the Russian Federation so that the document is recognized as invalid and the scammers cannot use them. This has been reported on the General Department's website about the migration of the Russian Ministry of Home Affairs. The representative of the Ministry said that in this case, foreign passports will be marked by the Ministry of Home Affairs of the Russian Federation as invalid due to the loss of the corresponding message from the Russian Foreign Ministry. “To return to Russia, you will be granted an entry certificate (return) to the Russian Federation,” it was said. As a rule, after returning, the Russians need to contact the unit about the migration of the territory of the Ministry of the Interior of the Russian Federation and apply for a loss, as well as recover the passport. On March 18, Duma State delegates sent an appeal to Russian Minister of Digital Development Maksuta Shadaev with a proposal to allow the use of electronic passports through public service portal to overcome passport control on internal flights. The authors of the initiative noted that for flights in the Russian Federation, the Russians are currently forced to present paper passports at the airport, but sometimes they forget the document, which can lead to the incident of the trip and financial losses, while the electronic version is always with one person.
