Residents of Donbass told how to get a Ukrainian passport
Residents of the part of the Donetsk region temporarily uncontrolled by the Ukrainian government can freely obtain a Ukrainian-style international passport (it is required to travel from Ukraine to the Russian Federation), but this procedure will have some difficulties.
News on the topic Residents of Donbass will receive compensation for destroyed housing: the procedure has been approved. This was reported on Friday, September 4, by the DonPress publication with reference to information from social media users.
“Ukrainians from the ORDO are now receiving foreign passports en masse in order to be able to travel to controlled territories and return back through Russia (a foreign passport will be required at the Ukrainian border when leaving),” the message says.
The issuance of a passport may take a certain period of time - they call the period from 21 to 60 days. There is also information that some managed to obtain a passport using an accelerated procedure - within 10 days. Residents of the temporarily uncontrolled part of Donbass are urged not to believe rumors and find out the processing time personally - at a specific passport office.
At the same time, those who receive a foreign passport for the first time or have an expired passport issued before 2007 (photos were simply pasted into the document then) must go through the identification procedure.
“I found out personally at our passport office (Pokrovsk). For persons who received Ukrainian passport in the now uncontrolled territory and who do not previously have a foreign passport, it is necessary to undergo identification. It takes two months! Only identification + time of receipt of the foreign passport itself. The days indicated are banking days, not calendar days. That is, you need to expect to stay in Ukraine for at least three months in order to get a foreign passport and return back,” says a message from social network users.
For identification in Pokrovsk, the following documents will be required (see photo):
- Ukrainian passport;
- birth certificate;
- marriage/divorce certificate (if any);
- driver's license;
- military ID;
- educational documents;
- employment history;
- omissions;
- pension certificate (if any);
- other identification (if any);
- migrant's certificate;
- extract from the State Voter Register.
You will also need to fill out a form and submit it to the passport office. In the future, a passport will be required when traveling across the border.

As we wrote earlier, some government institutions in the part of Donbass controlled by the Ukrainian authorities do not serve people who arrived from ORDLO without coronavirus tests or confirmation of undergoing 14-day self-isolation.

Ukrainian passport for Luhansk residents. Everything you wanted to ask, but didn't know who to ask
Questions about passports of citizens of Ukraine have always been relevant for immigrants. There are many different rumors about this, and, as you know, not everything that is said or written is true. Human rights activists from the “Legal Advisor for IDPs” reviewed the 5 most popular allegations about a passport for IDPs. A passport can only be issued at the place of registration (registration) - a myth . In fact, according to the Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 302 dated March 25, 2015, displaced persons can submit documents to restore a lost passport at the place of actual residence indicated in the certificate of registration of IDPs. Moreover, during the quarantine period, persons who have not been registered as IDPs (do not have a “displaced person’s certificate”) can apply for a passport to any unit of the State Migration Service of Ukraine. Thus, according to the Law of Ukraine dated March 17, 2020 No. 530, identification documents are issued during the quarantine period at the place of application of the person. Upon reaching 25 and 45 years of age, you can paste a photo into your passport; it is not necessary to receive an ID card - true. Now, just as before, persons who turn 25 and 45 years old may not receive an ID card instead of a passport in in the form of a “book” (1994 model), unless, of course, they have such a desire. Yes, the procedure for pasting a photograph into a paper passport is still in effect. Although a separate bill (No. 3986-1 dated August 14, 2020), which provides for the introduction of mandatory issuance of ID cards in such cases, has already been submitted to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine for consideration. At the same time, you should remember that you must paste the photo within a month from your birthday. If this is not done within the specified time frame, the previously issued passport of a citizen of Ukraine will still have to be exchanged for an ID card. If a citizen turned 25 or 45 years old during the quarantine period, he will be able to paste the photo into his passport within 30 calendar days from the date the quarantine ended. If the period for pasting the photo has not expired before the day of quarantine, then this period will continue from the day the quarantine ends (Final provisions of the Law of Ukraine “On amendments to certain legislative acts of Ukraine aimed at preventing the occurrence and spread of corona virus disease (COVID-19) "). A child cannot independently obtain a passport of a citizen of Ukraine without the presence of his parents - a myth
Thus, currently, a passport of a citizen of Ukraine is issued from the age of 14. And this is not just a right, but a responsibility of a person. However, passport documents for children over 14 years of age must be submitted in person. The presence and/or consent of parents is not required. To obtain a passport, the child will need to provide a certain package of documents, which includes originals and copies of both parents’ passports and a certificate of Ukrainian citizenship (if one of the parents is a foreigner). If the father or mother is absent, you will also need an original and a copy of one of the following documents: • death certificate of one of the parents; • a court decision to deprive one of the parents of parental rights; • a court decision recognizing one of the parents as missing; • extracts from the State Register of Civil Status of Citizens about birth, indicating information about the father in accordance with Part 1 of Art. 135 of the Family Code of Ukraine. It is important to note that a passport is issued to persons under 18 years of age for 4 years, and to persons over 18 years of age - every 10 years. When you first issue a passport for a citizen of Ukraine, no administrative fee is charged. In case of loss of a passport in the form of a “book”, you can only get a passport in the form of an ID card - true, but partially. Now the passport of a citizen of Ukraine is actually produced in the form of a card containing a contactless electronic medium (ID cards). And this applies not only to cases of issuing a passport for the first time, but also to restoration in case of loss or damage. At the same time, the State Migration Service of Ukraine continues to process and issue old-style passports to those citizens in respect of whom there is a court decision on the obligations of the State Migration Service to issue such passports. The temporary procedure for such a procedure is provided for by order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine dated June 6, 2019 No. 456. A passport with a photo not pasted in after a person reaches 25 or 45 years of age is valid for a whole month - a myth
Despite the fact that current legislation gives citizens of Ukraine a whole month after reaching 25 and 45 years of age to paste a photo into their passport in the form of a “book,” such a passport becomes invalid from the first day. Accordingly, it will be impossible to receive money at a bank’s cash desk without a card, or to issue a “migrant’s certificate,” or to get married with such a passport.

What to do if you lose your Ukrainian passport in the LPR and DPR
If you lose your Ukrainian passport, you need to contact any department of the migration service in the controlled part of Ukraine and undergo identification. However, often people simply cannot travel beyond the demarcation line without a passport, Donetsk News reports.
“Ukrainian documents can only be restored in controlled territory. And without documents it is impossible to leave - it turns out to be a vicious circle. There are two chances: either using a foreign passport to go to Russia and then to Ukraine, or illegally crossing the demarcation line,” says displaced lawyer, former resident of Lugansk Igor Chudovsky.
According to him, he is often contacted for advice by phone in such a situation. Thus, one of the applicants said that in the area of Trekhizbenki (checkpoint) they negotiate and sometimes transport them to the territory of Ukraine. But this “scheme” does not always work.
The State Border Service of Ukraine claims that any resident of uncontrolled Donbass can contact them. Even without any documents, you can come to the checkpoint and ask for help, the service says.
“People have already contacted us, and there have been cases when people came without documents at all. And after establishing their identities, we allowed them into the controlled territory. There is the National Police, there is the State Migration Service, and they help us resolve these issues. There are copies of documents, for example, some social benefits, or others,” says Oleg Slobodyan, speaker of the Ukrainian Border Service.
In order to restore documents, for example, a passport, a person from an uncontrolled territory must contact any branch of the Migration Service of Ukraine in the Donetsk or Luhansk region. But he can only count on a passport booklet. Obtaining a biometric passport can take a long time. To obtain a new type of passport, which provides “visa-free”, personal identification is required, and the old passport of the 1994 type is no longer an identification document; it is not protected.
The basic method of identification is an application, the so-called “Form No. 1,” which everyone wrote before receiving their first passport. These forms are stored in iron cabinets in the migration services at the place of issue. It is impossible to check the cards of residents of the ATO zone, but they can still receive a biometric passport.
“If a person had a foreign passport, driver’s license or other documents issued by authorities, then the migration service makes requests and receives answers and identification data. The person is interested in providing the maximum amount of information so that the migration service can send requests. One Ukrainian passport of the 1994 model is not enough for identification and issuance of “biometrics,” said the head of the press service of the State Migration Service, Sergei Gunko.

Obtaining Russian citizenship for a resident of the LPR with a Ukrainian passport
According to the law, a citizen of Ukraine can have no more than two valid passports for traveling abroad.
It should be noted that human rights activists point out that the State Migration Service operates an “electronic queue” service.
All foreign citizens have the opportunity to obtain citizenship in the Russian Federation. There are three options for how to do this. For most, there is a general procedure. The procedure is lengthy, and as a result, the applicant becomes a full member of Russian society. He has the right to vote, get a job without special permits, and even become a government employee.
Previously, migrants faced a number of difficulties when obtaining internal and foreign passports of citizens of Ukraine. In particular, they had to apply for a document to the migration service authorities at their place of residence, which is confirmed by a certificate of registration of an internally displaced person, which was often impossible to obtain.
If one of the parents submits documents, the consent of the second parent (notarized or executed by the migration service and certified by an official of the migration service) is provided for the child to obtain citizenship of the Russian Federation.
They need to add to the list of documents a corresponding document confirming birth on the territory of the Republic of Crimea or on the territory of the city of Sevastopol (birth certificate or extract from the state civil registration book).
At the migration service, you must fill out a form, provide a digitized photograph, a personal signature, and submit your fingerprints. For minors, the collection of personal data is carried out only with the official permission of the parents. All information about the identity of the passport holder is entered onto a contactless electronic medium.
