Ukraine Passport Photo

I know things are different in Russia, but in Russia I understand there is a substantial fine if not done within a certain amount of time. Would not be a big deal except that my wife's propyska is still with the apartment over there. That was another issue, as Russia expects you to register with their embassy in the US if you are living here.

Well, it's possible to pay the fine (about $50-60), change the passport and keep the "propiska"

Some people don't even leave Russia, but change their passport about 3 years later than they're supposed to and don't have any problem (except for the fine).

I am really beginning to understand that you must pay the right person in order to accomplish or obtain anything in Ukraine and maybe the other RUB counties as well.

I understand the fine is now about 15,000 rubles per month. We had hoped to pay someone to take care of this but there has been a crack down on corruption (believe it or not) and most people that used to fix these things are afraid to touch it now.

How a fine can be "per month"? The fine is 1500-2500 rubles.

Ask your wife to read this: http://www.consultant.ru/popular/koap/13_20.html - paragraph 19.15 (or you can read it if you read Russian).

I do not understand what you are asking here...per month is correct as we have been told and much more than 1500 rubles.

Interesting information, but it is 8 years old. Things change.

I could only hope you were correct.

Neonred, you shouldn't believe the person, who told you the information you have.

The information I gave you is most up-to-date, and it's written there that the last update to the law was in 2007 (which is 4 years ago, not 8). I gave you that link cause it's the website of the program used by the lawyers in Russia and it gets updated as soon as the law changes (my mom's a lawyer and even though she works with retirement law only, I know what I'm talking about).

Plus, I changed my passport 2 years ago, and I was told at that point that if I didn't change my passport in 30 days after I turn 20, I'd have to pay 1500-2500 rubles (it is usually 1500 rubles, if you have never been fined for something like that before).
