Issuance of identity documents for Ukrainians abroad is carried out by diplomatic missions of Ukraine (embassies and consulates). Foreign passports are issued only in Ukraine. Accordingly, the production of passports and the delivery of already produced passports have been suspended.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU LEFT UKRAINE WITHOUT A VALID PASSPORT?

If you arrived abroad from Ukraine after 24.02 due to the war and do not have a valid passport (for example, you arrived with an expired passport, or with a passport of a citizen of Ukraine / "domestic" passport, or, in the case of child with a child's birth certificate):

- If your passport or the child's passport has expired, you can extend the validity of this passport.

- If you have a valid passport and your child has only a birth certificate, you can enter the child's data in your passport ("enter the child" in the passport)

- If you have only a passport of a citizen of Ukraine / "internal" passport, you can obtain a certificate of identity with a photo. A similar document can be issued to your child, who has only a birth certificate.

All these actions are free of charge on the day of applying to the Embassy.

PLEASE NOTE: The Embassy does not have any authority to mark EU border crossing in any documents or to issue any certificates about border crossing - this can only be done by the border services of the countries through which you entered the EU. If you plan to cross the border, we strongly advise you to make sure that border guards have stamped the border crossing in your passport (foreign, "domestic" or on the child's birth certificate), or get a certificate of border crossing from them.
