Ukrainian international passport - lawyer's assistance in obtaining a passport

 YOUR GOAL

Getting a Ukrainian international passport is not just a bureaucratic step — it is a vital document for free travel, work abroad, study, or evacuation. However, the process is often challenging, especially under martial law, change of residence, or lost identity documents.

Legal support in obtaining a Ukrainian international passport

Many citizens face difficulties during the application process. Here are the most common problems we assist with:

1Refusal to accept documents due to minor mistakes — such as a typo in your birth certificate or incorrect transliteration.

2Outdated or invalid documents — Soviet passports or no ID card.

3Lost internal passport or foreign passport with no quick way to recover them.

4Conflicting data in Ukrainian state registries (Civil Status Register, SMSU, Unified Demographic Register).

5Citizens living abroad who cannot return to Ukraine physically for the application.

6Refusal to issue documents to IDPs (internally displaced persons) from occupied territories due to identity issues.

7Delays — passport "stuck in production" with no updates for weeks or months.

If you’re facing one of these issues — you’re not alone. We know how to help.

• We work with CNAPs, SMSU, archives, and consulates.
• Support in filing documents — online or in person.

Case study

A man from Luhansk (internally displaced person) contacted us after losing his Ukrainian passport. He only had a photo of the old document. SMSU refused to issue an Ukrainian biometric passport due to lack of ID confirmation.

1We examined archival records and found supporting documents partially confirming his identity.

2Filed a petition to the court to establish the legal fact of birth and residence in Ukraine.

3Engaged two witnesses who testified and confirmed his identity in court.

4The court ruled in his favor, and SMSU was obliged to issue the passport. Within two weeks, the client received a new Ukrainian international passport.

This case proves: even the most difficult immigration problems can be solved — if handled professionally.
