ID Cards After Age 60: Will Pensioners Be Required to Replace Their ID Cards?
Volume~$85
YES chance
DescriptionA proposal has been made in the State Duma to amend the rules for issuing passports by adding a fourth mandatory renewal—upon reaching the age of 60. Currently, passports are renewed for the last time at age 45, after which they remain valid indefinitely. Lawmakers cite rising life expectancy as the rationale for the initiative: over the course of 20–30 years, a person’s appearance changes so much that identification based on an old photo becomes difficult for banking systems and border services. Opponents of the idea point to the unnecessary bureaucratic burden this would place on older people. Given that the amendments require changes to the “Regulations on the Passport of a Citizen of the Russian Federation,” the Ministry of Digital Development and the Ministry of Internal Affairs must prepare their reviews of the proposal by the end of spring.
ConditionsYes: if the bill requiring passport renewal at age 60 is officially introduced in the State Duma by May 25, 2026.
No: if, by May 25, 2026, the initiative remains under discussion and has not been formalized as an official bill.
