Hello! Could you answer my question? I'm getting married and after the wedding, in a week, we are going to go to Abkhazia for a rest. Tickets we take in advance on my old passport. Can there be problems on the border with a passport that has not been replaced? In fact, according to the Russian legislation, I have the right to use the passport for one month.

Answer Information section of the "Tourism Slices"
Take with you the certificate of marriage - upon presenting this document within one month from the date of marriage, your current passport has validity in the territory of Abkhazia as well as in the territory of the Russian Federation.

If the document has already been handed over for replacement, you can obtain a certificate for the entire period of the passport replacement to accept replacement documents passport or time The certificate of the citizen of the Russian Federation for a new surname according to the established form (Form N 2P). Such a document has full legal effect - of course, no more than 30 days from the date of marriage and change of name.

Answer Sergey Vasin
If you change the surname, the internal Russian passport becomes invalid for traveling abroad (since it marks the change in the name and the passport becomes invalid). Bring your passport and there will not be any problems.
