Russian Passport (Internal) - Black Coffee Mug

The Russian Passport (Internal), also known as the Internal Passport or Propiska, is a document issued by the Government of Russia to its citizens who reside within Russia's territory. It serves as a primary identification and residence record, used for domestic travel and administrative purposes, such as voting, obtaining public services, and registering with local authorities. Unlike the Russian Federation Passport (External), which is primarily for international travel, the Internal Passport does not have an expiration date unless the holder's permanent residency status changes or expires. The design of the passport includes the holder's full name, date of birth, sex, and place of residence, among other details. This document plays a crucial role in maintaining Russia's internal population registry system.
