From November 1, 2016, all Ukrainians began to be transferred to new passports. Now the main internal document is not a usual book, but an ID card with an electronic chip. Applications for the issuance of "old" passports, according to a government decree, have ceased to be accepted (in fact, not quite).
realist answers the most popular questions about obtaining a new passport and replacing an old one.
At what age can you get a passport of a citizen of Ukraine in the form of an ID card?
An internal passport in the form of an ID card can now be obtained from the age of 14.
Where do I need to go to apply for a passport?
To the territorial division of the migration service or to the center for the provision of administrative services at the place of residence.
What documents are needed to obtain an ID card?
- Birth certificate.
— Documents confirming citizenship and proving the identity of the parents or one of them, who had Ukrainian citizenship at the time of birth.
– Passport of a citizen of Ukraine for traveling abroad (for persons permanently residing abroad, upon their return in accordance with the established procedure for residence in Ukraine and for persons who have received Ukrainian citizenship abroad).
— Certificate of registration of homeless persons (for the homeless).
— Certificate of registration of internally displaced persons (for internally displaced persons).
- Identification code.
— Documents confirming additional changeable information that is entered into the ID card:
Information about the place of registration;
Birth certificate of children;
A marriage certificate, a divorce certificate, a court decision on divorce that has entered into legal force, or a document issued by the competent authorities of a foreign state confirms the relevant fact;
Name change certificate.
What should I do if the additional information entered in the contactless electronic media has changed?
If the information entered in the electronic chip has changed, you need to contact the territorial division of the migration service.
Do I need any additional documents accompanying the ID card?
Yes, otherwise it would be too good and simple. Separately, additional variable information is issued on a leaflet for those bodies and structures that do not have devices that read information from contactless electronic media. They need to be carried with you not all the time, but only for those bodies that require them.
Are there enough forms for issuing ID cards?
The forms are printed at the Ukraine printing plant, and at the moment, as the migration service assures, there are enough of them for everyone.

No more than 20 working days from the date of registration of the application form for its receipt.

Is it possible now to get an old-style passport or is only an ID card issued?
The internal passport of a citizen of Ukraine is tied to the place of registration. Those departments that are equipped with equipment for issuing ID cards issue only ID cards. The old-style passport is issued only by those departments that do not have this equipment. In Kyiv, all branches have equipment for issuing ID cards.
Using a bank card is convenient, comfortable and safe enough - most of us have long appreciated these undeniable advantages of "plastic". Nevertheless, such a payment instrument still raises many questions among its users. For example, what is the card identification number that is often requested by various electronic payment systems? Often these symbols are necessary when transferring from one card to another, when paying for online purchases through online stores. What does this combination of numbers actually mean, why is it needed and on what basis is it formed? How safe is it to indicate such data on the Internet, how to protect the indicated information from fraudulent activities?
What does the card identification number mean?
Any "plastic" has its own personal number: it can be either simply printed or extruded (embossed). A digital set of cards is individual and unique, it is assigned when such a plastic tool is issued to the client. Numerical values, of course, are not random, they have certain meanings.
The number, which is called identification, is located on the front side of a bank card, most often it consists of 16 numbers, divided into four groups of four characters each. Old-style cards of 13 values are not currently used (1 group of 4 numbers plus 3 groups of 3 characters). Cards with 18 and 19 digits are also rare, but they do exist - usually as an additional "plastic" to previously issued payment instruments.
The international standard ISO/IEC 7812-1 governs the assignment of plastic bank card numbers and defines their structure as follows:
BBBBBBNNNNNNNNNNL.
What do these symbols mean? The first 6 values (BBBBBB) are the identification number (BIN) of the bank that issued the card. In this case, the first character indicates that the card belongs to a particular payment system. So, for VISA - this is the number 4, for MasterCard -5, for American Express - 3. The next 3 values \u200b\u200bstore the bank number, they are generated by the payment system. The fifth and sixth digit BIN is an additional product identifier, assigned according to the category of the banking product, this value also allows you to determine the bank that issued the card by a number of additional features. Thus, the BIN provides complete and absolutely comprehensive information about the issuing bank.
The principles of encoding the first 6 characters of the card (BIN) certainly exist, but they are carefully protected from unauthorized persons by financial organizations and payment systems. The direct purpose of the BIN is precisely the identification of a particular bank within the card system around the world. This number is often required for internal and external transfers and other transactions, along with other details of the organization.
The values that we defined as NNNNNNNNNNNN, usually consist of 7, 10 or 13 digits, indicate the number of the plastic card itself. 7 and 8 numbers from this set determine the program according to which the card was issued by one or another financial institution. These symbols are already assigned in accordance with the issuing bank's issuing algorithm, out of order. The numbering here is not end-to-end, the possible coincidence of two different cards is almost unrealistic.
Some experts believe that information about the currency of the card, the number of the branch, the reader (chip, magnetic tape, pay pass contactless payment technology) is encrypted in the card number. Again, this cannot be said with certainty, because many banks, for example, issue cards with the possibility of opening several accounts in different currencies.
And finally, L, the last digit in the card number, is a verification number calculated using a special algorithm that confirms the correctness of all other characters.
Payments by card number and their security
To begin with, let's denote that the card number and account number are completely different things. The 20-digit account number is never indicated on a plastic card. So, the account number when reissuing plastic always remains the same. However, if the card is reissued due to loss or theft, then the number of the card itself will be different. Changing the number, however, is not provided for a planned reissue at the end of the plastic validity period. In other words, the card number is the identifier of the plastic carrier of electronic means. If the plastic card number is damaged, it is enough to contact the bank branch. In this case, the release of "plastic" with the same number is possible.
So, often these characters need to be entered when transferring, for example, from card to card. In this case, it is usually required to indicate such additional data as the expiration date of the card (two pairs of numbers, which are indicated under the card number on the front side), the owner's FI. When paying for online purchases via the Internet, it is often required to provide CVC2 or CVV2 codes, which are inherent in cards of MasterCard, VISA, Maestro payment systems. This number is located on the back of the plastic above or below the magnetic line and is a three-digit set of numbers. It happens that 7 numbers are indicated, in this case, for payment, you must specify the last 3 values, since the first 4 digits are a double of the last characters of the card number itself.
It turns out that anyone who has your card in their hands can make a payment or transfer via the Internet, even if this person does not know the pin code? But there are still various fraudulent schemes on the Web. How can you protect yourself from unauthorized spending on a bank card? Here are a few effective ways:
- Activate the SMS notification service for completed transactions on the card. In this case, you will be aware of the ongoing operations on your card and will be able to block it in time.
- When paying for goods and services on the Internet, use only proven resources. Make sure that the transfer channel is secure (a “lock” sign is displayed before the email address line).
- Give preference to plastic with the so-called 3D Secure system.” This service makes it impossible to pay and transfer from a card account without entering one-time passwords, which are sent to the client's mobile phone in the form of SMS. Such codes are generated automatically and are valid for only a few minutes.
ID-passports in Ukraine began to be issued in January 2016, but so far few Ukrainians understand the features of the new document. That is why they are in no hurry to change old-style documents for modern plastic. We figured out what are the advantages of an ID card, who can get it and how, and also found out what difficulties Ukrainians face with a plastic passport.
What is an ID-passport
The ID-passport is a plastic card with a standard size of 8x5 cm. It is made of polycarbonate, a very durable material that is used in the production of ID-cards in all developed countries. By the way, such a passport has a shelf life of 10 years, and this is due precisely to the properties of polycarbonate.

Many believe that the ID-passport, like the classic book version of the identity card, is valid indefinitely. However, it is not. The passport, which is issued to a 14-year-old citizen, is valid for only 4 years—until the age of majority. And an adult Ukrainian will have to change the document every 10 years.
What information does
The name and surname are applied to the card itself (they are also duplicated in Latin), as well as the patronymic. When translating into English, a standard transliteration approved by the Cabinet of Ministers is used. However, in some cases, the rules allow you to submit a written appeal and get the right spelling.
This right can be exercised in three ways. First, you have a passport or driving license with non-standard transliteration. The second is that one or both parents have a different transliteration in their passport. Third - you have a document issued by a foreign agency (for example, you got married or got married abroad).
In all other cases, transliteration is done by a computer, according to an approved scheme.
Also, a photo is placed on the card, indicate gender, date of birth and citizenship, and also the document number, number in the Unified State Demographic Register, expiration date and signature of the owner. On the back indicate the name of the authority that issued the passport, and special marks: for example, the number of the passport.

All other information is entered into the database and can be read from the chip. These are registration data, marital status, children, TIN and fingerprints. True, you can refuse to write the last two parameters to the microchip.
“We are obliged to record all information about a person, but some of the data can be made private so that other services cannot read it. Data on marital status, for example, can be hidden. But we still need to scan a birth certificate, a marriage certificate, a divorce document, a document confirming a name change, all of his documents. And they must be originals, not copies. , the issue is resolved on an individual basis: for example, a citizen goes to the registry office at the place of residence and restores the necessary papers. Here the approach is individual, ”commented the situation in one of the departments of the State Migration Service in Kyiv.
Registration and restoration
The first passport is issued to a Ukrainian at the age of 14, and it can only be an ID card. Without fail, plastic is also provided to those who change their passport due to a change of name (for example, upon marriage), restore a lost or stolen document, or simply want to replace a passport book that has become unusable.
An ID card is also offered to those who come to paste a photo into an old-style document - at the age of 25 or 45.
You can issue or restore a document at the State Migration Service or at the State Enterprise "Document" (passport service). Residents of certain regions can apply for registration through the iGov and Privat24 systems.

For the first time, a passport-card is issued at the place of residence (even if a person had a passport-book, but did not have an ID-card), you can reissue or restore the document at any department of the State Migration Service or State Enterprise "Document".
At the age of 14, the HMS will issue an ID-card free of charge, and the process will take up to 1 month. But the services of a passport service will have to be paid even when you first receive a passport: it costs 400 UAH. and takes 20 business days. The most expensive service associated with an ID-passport is the urgent replacement of one card for another, a 10-day process costs UAH 766. HMS services are cheaper: urgent registration - 366 UAH. (10 working days, non-urgent - 279 UAH. (20 working days).
The hardest thing is for those who have lost their passport. After all, in addition to the expensive restoration procedure, you will have to spend at least two working days going to the passport service. Also, in all cases, you need to pay a state duty of 34 UAH. The service of intermediaries who promise to restore the lost document in 3-5 days will cost even more.
Meanwhile, Ukrainians very often lose their passports. And although there are no official statistics, companies specializing in the protection and return of documents talk about a thousand cases a year. But not all Ukrainians resort to their services.

“Last year 60,000 clients used our services. During this period, we have helped to return more than 1,000 documents to their owners,” said Sergey Vlasko, CEO of the mySafety personal belongings protection company.
Opportunities and limitations
The main advantage of an ID-passport is security. It is almost impossible to forge such a passport. In addition to the above data, in the future it is planned that an electronic digital signature will be added to the ID-passport, with which it will be possible to remotely sign documents and even vote. So far, the card has only a photo of the usual signature.
Some ID-card holders note that with such a passport it is necessary to separately issue a certificate of the place of registration, because not all institutions have equipment that allows reading data from a chip. Experts explain this by the high cost of equipment - one scanner costs about 1300 UAH.
No visa-free
The ID-card is not suitable for travel within Europe. Yes, the introduction of ID-passports was one of the conditions for a visa-free regime. In addition, such a passport is also called biometric. But to travel to European countries, you still need a passport.

But with an ID-passport, you can travel to Turkey. The corresponding agreement between our countries came into force on June 1, 2017. An internal passport in the form of an ID card allows you to stay in the Republic of Turkey for 90 days within a 180-day period.
In general, the ID-card is a more modern and reliable document than the usual passport-book. But we, Ukrainians, have not yet been able to use its capabilities to 100%.
Pros:
- the card is small, it is easier to carry;
- the new document is more reliable, it is much more difficult to forge it;
- polycarbonate is not afraid of moisture and is much stronger than a paper passport;
- adding an electronic digital signature will allow voting online;
- when NFC modules appear in all institutions, a passport with a chip will be able to replace a whole package of documents;
- Passport card entitles you to visa-free entry to Turkey.
Minuses:
- plastic passport will have to be changed every 10 years;
- the installation of NFC modules in public and private institutions is delayed, and therefore you will have to carry additional certificates with you for some time (for example, about the place of registration).
- The ID-card is not suitable for travel within Europe.
In Ukraine, a company is in full swing to introduce a new format of internal passports - the Identification Card (ID), by analogy with many other countries of the world. This innovation has a number of features: both positive and negative. In addition, the bureaucratic machine characteristic of Ukraine hinders the implementation of the reform as much as possible, arranging problems for citizens in obtaining such a passport.
In this article, I will analyze in detail all the nuances: from A to Z. We will talk about what a passport ID is and why it is needed, what are its fundamental differences from an old-style document and how to issue it, what privileges its holders will be able to use and what difficulties they will face. Therefore, if possible, distribute the material through social networks in order to help your friends in matters related to obtaining a new passport in Ukraine.
What is a plastic ID and why is it needed
As I have already said, a new type of passport in Ukraine has replaced the outdated, paper one. According to experts, such a document is more convenient and not so susceptible to external influences. After all, there have been many cases when spilled coffee on a “booklet” with a trident made it invalid and the owner was forced to go to the migration service to replace the document.
The new version of the document is made of plastic the size of a credit card. From the outside it is not much different from a driver's license. It is applied graphically, and also stored in electronic form, the main information about the owner, namely:
- Owner's photo
- Name in Ukrainian and Latin
- Surname in Ukrainian and Latin
- Patronymic in Ukrainian
- Date of Birth
- Passport expiry date
- Citizenship
- Demographic registry entry number
- Document Number
- Owner's signature
- date of issue
- The number of the department that issued the passport
- Place of Birth
- Machine readable area (similar to a passport)
In addition, such a passport is biometric. All this information, plus an electronic photo, a signature, and in the future - the owner's fingerprints are stored in encrypted form on a special chip.
It is worth noting that a biometric passport - a card of a citizen of Ukraine (an analogue of an internal passport, which I am talking about in this article) is not identical to a biometric passport. If you need a passport for traveling abroad -.
Advantages and disadvantages
Issuing a new passport has a number of advantages, as well as disadvantages. As of 2017, it is not necessary to issue a passport of this type and you can remain the owner of the “book” of the 1994 model. Therefore, before deciding to receive or change the type of document, read and familiarize yourself with them.
pros
- A plastic passport is much more durable, does not wear out so much and is not afraid of a number of damages, from which a paper one often became unusable.
- By the summer of 2017, it is expected to introduce the possibility of visiting Turkey with an ID card, without the need to obtain a passport.
- Such a passport is issued from the age of 14, so that the child can receive an identity document earlier, which means that there is no need to carry a birth certificate with him.
- The TIN is printed on the passport, and information about the place of residence is in the chip
- The document is much more counterfeit-proof than its paper predecessor with a hastily pasted photograph.
Minuses
- The new type of passport has an expiration date, which means it will need to be renewed every 4 or 10 years.
- Marital status data is not inked on the map.
- At the moment, the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not agreed with Russia and Belarus on the procedure for entering this document, and therefore citizens of Ukraine cannot enter the above countries with an ID card yet (according to a passport - a booklet, entry into these countries is visa-free and a passport is not required).
- The price is quite high, given the level of earnings in the regions.
- Many structures of the bureaucracy in Ukraine deliberately sabotage the introduction of a new type of passports. Instead of reading them, they demonstrate their ignorance and stupidity. They force you to wear additional certificates (from the place of residence and TIN), despite the fact that they are in the document.
- Not all systems, companies and forms have yet adjusted to the passport number of 9 digits without a series.
- The plastic passport will have a new number. And therefore, if it was used in some system, etc. - you need to change this data.
Who can get an ID
Biometric passport is issued today:
- Children obtaining a passport for the first time (on reaching the age of 14)
- Passport replacement in case of damage
- When changing the name, surname, patronymic or TIN
- Upon reaching the age of 25 and 45, when, according to the law, you need to paste a new photo (as of 2017 - an exchange instead of pasting is optional)
- Issuance in case of loss
It is worth noting that for the time being, you can refuse to receive an ID card and draw up a booklet at the age of 16, as well as paste new photos into it at 25 and 45 years old. However, this possibility will soon disappear.
How to get an ID passport
If you have decided to get a plastic passport, you should mentally prepare, because, according to the experience of many pioneers, this process, especially in the regions, is creaking.
The procedure itself, if we exclude the human factor, is very simple and should not take much time. You must collect a number of documents, and then apply with them to the territorial division of the State Migration Service (State Migration Service, - Ukrainian, whose interactive map) or TsNAP (Center for Administrative Services, - Ukrainian) at the place of registration.
To schedule an appointment, it is advisable to join the electronic queue, which simplifies the waiting procedure. This is possible in the following ways:
- On the official website of VHI (only for residents of Kyiv and Kyiv region) - not earlier than 2 weeks in advance
- Through the terminal in the VHI department - on the current day or on any available date in the next month.
- On the website of the TsNAP in your region - for the period set by them (usually - 2 weeks ahead, dates are available).
Documents are submitted there, and after 20 working days from the date of application, you can pick up the finished document.
You can follow the status of issuing a passport in the form of a card on the official website by clicking on this link.
When the card is handed to you, you will need to program the codes on it. To do this, come up with them in advance, you can write them down somewhere, but in no case do not tell others. The codes should not match the date of birth, etc., but only matter to you. It is desirable that it be just a random set of characters.
So, you need to come up with:
- 2 pin codes, 4 digits each
- 2 pack codes of 8 digits each
In the future, they can be changed.
Required Documents
First things first, collect the necessary documents. Pay close attention to the list and try not to miss anything.
For the first time (on reaching the age of 14)
- Birth certificate
- Original passport of one of the parents who at the time of birth had Ukrainian citizenship
- Passport for those who permanently reside outside of Ukraine or have received citizenship abroad.
For passport exchange
- Passport to be exchanged (booklet or plastic)
- In case of change of name / surname / patronymic - the relevant document
- Certificate of an internally displaced person (for migrants from the ATO and ARC zones)
- Documents confirming the information required for entering (not required if an old-style passport is being replaced): birth certificates of children, marriage or divorce, certificate of residence registration (Form A).
- Identification tax number (TIN).
To recover a stolen or lost passport
- Statement of the sample established by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs about the loss or theft of a passport
- Extract from the Unified Register of Pre-trial Investigations (if the passport was lost in Ukraine)
- Certificate of an internally displaced person (for migrants from the ATO and ARC zones)
- Receipt of payment of fees for this service or documents exempting them from payment.
- Documents confirming the information necessary for entering (not required if an old-style passport is being replaced): birth certificates of children, marriage or divorce, certificate of residence registration.
- Identification tax number (TIN)
- The decision of the court to establish the identity, if it was not established in the standard manner.
You do not need to take a photo for this passport - you will be photographed on the spot, at the VHI department or TsNAP.
The mentioned certificate of place of residence and registration is obtained at the TsNAPs at the place of registration, although you can also get by with the Certificate of family composition (former “Form A”), which is issued at PREJO (formerly ZhEK).
Validity
A plastic passport is valid for 4 years for citizens who received it at the age of 14, and for those who issued it after 18, the validity period is set at 10 years. After this period, it will need to be exchanged for a new one, having gone through the procedure of photographing and updating the data again, paying the appropriate fee.
Price for an ID passport
- Those who receive a plastic passport for the first time, upon reaching the age of 14, registration will be free.
- Exchange, replacement of a passport or receipt for those who have already turned 16 before - 279 hryvnia (~ $10).
How to count a card
Contrary to popular belief, the information on a card chip can be accessed, say, in a bank or any other place where you yourself wish it. This is an additional verification. The function allows you to quickly and easily verify the identity of the passport holder, making sure that the document is not forged.
There are several "sectors" of data on the chip, some of which (which do not include, for example, your fingerprints) can be read by anyone with the equipment if they wish.
Equipment refers to both special readers for PCs (with Windows OS) and any modern smartphone with an NFC-module based on Android. In the near future we should expect the appearance of the corresponding software on other platforms.
Therefore, if you need to read data from the passport ID chip, just download (one archive for Windows and Android) or from Google Play and install the official UAID READER application from the Ukraine Printing Plant company, which is engaged in the production of these documents. Using third party apps is risky and can be used by scammers to steal personal information!
After installation, you will be able to read the document. For this:
- Install the program and activate Internet access
- Select access using PIN1 or PIN2, which only the owner knows, or CAN code (these are the last 6 digits of the passport number)
- The owner must enter an access code
- Place the document close to the reader and hold until the reading process is completed
How to manage your card
With the help of the same application and smartphone, you can independently manage some of the settings of the electronic passport. In particular, it is possible to change the PIN1 and PIN2 codes, as well as unlock them using the PUK1 and PUK2 associated with them.
To be able to carry out the above operations, return to the previous paragraph, follow the appropriate installation and configuration instructions, and then use the “Change data” section in the application
FAQ
Is it necessary to change your passport?
No. Despite the fact that the state plans to replace all passports in the next 3 years, there is no ban on the use of a document of the 1994 model.
Can the chip be hacked and data stolen or faked?
Theoretically, anything can be hacked. However, no one has yet carried out a fake or hacking of this chip, and ordinary citizens should hardly be afraid of this.
Is the chip an attempt of total control over us by special services \ Zionists \ Freemasons \ aliens?
In the age of information technology, each person leaves such a “trace” about himself that no chips are needed. In the end, each of us on social networks voluntarily fills out such a “dossier” for ourselves that a passport with a residence permit and IFO is just baby talk compared to it.
Therefore, please put aside paranoia and calmly draw up a new sample document.
Can I get a passport - a card without a chip?
It is allowed to obtain a non-biometricID for people whose religious beliefs are contrary to it.
Is it possible not to enter data on marriage or children?
Data on marriage or children are required to be entered in the passport. However, as a rule, they are not remembered, if not reminded. Now they often ask whether it is necessary or not to make, and besides, they ask for the relevant certificates.
This question can be considered from the other side. Just in case, take marriage and birth certificates for children, remind them to be entered into the chip and check with a reader. The experience of the past years, when for inscribing children in the passport, one also had to wear “chocolate” causes concern.
I was told that there are no forms and I need to pay extra \ wait, what should I do?
This statement is absurd, since the migration service does not print forms, but only accepts documents. In this case, you should immediately contact the anti-corruption hotline. Don't be fooled!
Will it be possible to travel the world with this passport after obtaining a visa-free regime?
No, this document is an analogue of an internal passport. To travel to the countries of the Schengen Agreement and the EU without visas, you will need a biometric passport.
I was offered assistance in obtaining a passport. What is it?
In fraud. They will simply take money from you, and then, making a smart look, they will show you which office to enter. You will receive much less information than from this article, but you will spend much more money.
Although, the above option is even more or less good, since some may use the data received from you for other purposes, for example, obtaining a loan. Therefore, arrangeIDyou need your own passport.
That is, upon reaching the age of 25 or 45, I can not change my passport for a card, but simply paste a photo?
Yes that's right. In 2017, you retain this right at your own choice. However, to paste a photo, you need to contact the TsNAP (Centre for the Administration of Administrative Services).
Do I need to change my plastic passport upon reaching the age of 25 and 45?
No, such a passport does not need to be changed, up to the expiration date indicated on it.
I was issued a passport, and there are errors in it. The date of birth is not correctly indicated and the transliteration of the Surname does not match with the international passport.
If during the issuance of the passport an error was made in personal data (including the transliteration of the name or surname), the reissue is free of charge.
It should be noted that the transliteration is carried out in accordance with the legislation of 2010 and you can check it at the link
