1. When must the state fee for a passport or eID card be paid?
   The state fee must be paid when submitting an application for the issuance of a passport and/or an identity card. The state fee can be paid on site at a division of the Authority using a payment card, as well as via online banking or at a credit institution. The production of the identity document begins only after the state fee has been paid.
2. Can an application be submitted if the state fee has not been paid?
   The application can be submitted; however, the passport or eID card will be produced only after the state fee payment has been received by the State Treasury.
3. What should be taken into account if I pay the state fee via online banking or at a credit institution?
   The exact purpose of the payment must be indicated, and it should be taken into account that payment processing may take several days. Until the payment is credited to the State Treasury, the service cannot be provided.
4. Can I receive the document if the state fee has not yet been credited to the State Treasury?
   No. The documents will be prepared for issuance within two or ten working days after the corresponding payment has been credited to the State Treasury.

Pursuant to amendments to regulatory enactments, printouts from internet banks, bank-confirmed payment orders and other documents that may confirm the payment are not deemed a confirmation of the payment for the service.
