How can you check the readiness of your Ukrainian passport online?
The production of documents, especially those that confirm the identity of a citizen or relate to travel abroad, is a lengthy process.
But in 2015, state migration authorities introduced a new service for online tracking of submitted papers for residents of the country. Now you can check the readiness of your Ukrainian passport at any time using online resources.
Where to check the readiness of a foreign passport in Ukraine
Thanks to the new methodology, you can control the stage of document processing by calling the hotline of the State Migration Service of Ukraine, on the official website of the service online and via email from the department where the documents were submitted (depending on the region).
Such alternatives allowed us to solve several problems at once:
- relieve dispatchers (previously, telephone line operators had to personally inform clients that paper was ready);
- make information accessible (without the need to visit the office, now a computer and a connection to the World Wide Web are enough);
- eliminate corruption (some employees deliberately delayed registration, wanting to receive a reward, now this has been ruled out).
To track a Ukrainian passport online, you need to have the required data on hand to submit a request.
Check your passport online at dmsu.gov.ua
Control over the process of producing a foreign passport can be done using the following actions:
- Go to the Ukrainian migration service website.
- Find the “Check readiness” column in the main page menu.
- Check the box “child”/”adult” (depending on the type of passport).
- Enter the series and number of the civil passport.
- Send a request and wait for a response from the portal.
The result will be presented in one of four options depending on the stage of processing. The speed of completing the stages of document registration online varies from 4 days to 2 weeks for each step.
In the future, the developers plan to add a new option “Submit an application for registration” to the ability to track a Ukrainian passport, so that you can book a place via the Internet when visiting an organization.
Checking your passport in the form of a booklet
To obtain a biometric version of a document, you need to repeat an almost similar algorithm of actions:
- Visit the portal of the Ukrainian migration website.
- Go to a separate passport verification tab.
- Check the age category (adult or child).
- Choose on the basis of which inner paper the copy is prepared - “in the form of a booklet.”
- Enter the series and passport number.
- Check the box that you are a human (not a robot) and confirm entering the captcha.
- Click on the “Find” button and wait until the request is processed.
Online checking of the status of a foreign passport in the form of a booklet takes 1-2 minutes. If the document is being prepared for a child, then you need to indicate information about the parent who is monitoring this process.
In the form of an ID card
Control over the preparation of a passport in the form of an ID card follows a similar method:
- Go to the website of the State Migration Service of Ukraine, go to the verification tab.
- Indicate the document on the basis of which the application was created - “in the form of an ID card.”
- Proceed to specifying the number or series of your citizen passport.
- Enter the captcha to confirm that you are not a robot and click on the search button.
A foreigner does not have the right to receive a passport in the form of a Ukrainian-style ID card. Otherwise, the answer to the question of how to check the status of a paper completely duplicates the classic method of online request on the website.
What result can you see
The search will display the result of the request on the same page where the series and number of the internal passport were entered. After the page is automatically refreshed, the user will see one of the versions of the current status with the date:
- no information found;
- documents are accepted and data are verified;
- permission has been given for the personalization of the passport;
- The data has been sent to the personalization center;
- the document is personalized and sent to MS;
- the document was delivered to the territorial authority of the MS.
The status of the application can be checked only the next day after the papers are submitted. The database is updated about 4 times a day, so sometimes there is a delay in the reflection of data.
If within 48 hours from the date of application there is no information about what stage the document is at, then you should visit the territorial division of the State Migration Service.
If the user correctly enters all the information and knows exactly what document he is drawing up, but still sees the “Information not found” mark, it is worth trying to re-enter the data in the adjacent column.
During the application process, there may have been a system failure and a data error resulting in the creation of a copy that was not originally ordered.
Types of statuses and their meaning
By checking the status of your passport through the website, you can get the following results:
- “Data not found” - you should return to the previous page and check the entered data and the checkboxes;
- “Documents accepted” - information is being checked indicating the date the documents were accepted for processing;
- “Permission issued” - the data will be sent to the GCPD after verification and will be marked with the corresponding number in the column;
- “Information sent” - at this stage, the printing of the international passport begins;
- “The document is included in the database and sent to the MS department” - the paper is ready and is in the process of being delivered to the passport office where the application was submitted;
- “The document has been delivered to the local MS office” - a date is added to the notification, after which you can go to the department and pick up the paper.
In each region, completing all of the above stages takes 1-3 days (the standard delivery in the center of the country is 1 day, and residents of more distant territories should expect a maximum of 3 days).
But if the weather changes for the worse or during long holidays, sending papers to anywhere in the country can take up to 1 week. Therefore, before you find out whether your passport is ready, make sure that the due dates do not fall on public holidays.
Features of electronic appeal
If an automatic request for information about the status of document execution does not produce results, you can create an additional request via email. The required address is publicly available on the official website of the State Migration Service of Ukraine.
You need to find the “Services” column in the site panel, then switch to the “Checking the passport preparation stage” section, and then go to “Email for information about the status of registration” to copy the email.
In the text of the message it is necessary to mention the full name, registration address, series and number of the passport, a valid mobile phone, as well as the serial number of the application.
What to do if the information on the site is incorrect
If you enter information incorrectly when generating an electronic application, a situation may arise when data that diverges from the identity card is entered into the international passport: incorrect translation into English or Ukrainian of the citizen’s last name or first name.
Then the HMS management recommends that you immediately contact us by email indicating the error.
When trying to track the readiness of a foreign passport online, the database may not be updated, since virtual services and information in territorial divisions are not automatically synchronized, and all the necessary data is entered by people.
Technical work may be carried out on the portal, and then the services of the Main Directorate for Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs also become unavailable. If checking through online resources does not produce results, there are 2 additional options: check later (after checking the date of the last update) or use other communication methods (telephone or personal visit).
Registration for migrants
A person who has Ukrainian citizenship has the right to begin obtaining a foreign passport with its subsequent entry into the register by contacting:
- at the place of actual residence according to registration in the territorial departments of the DMSU;
- to a specialized company and travel companies that have a license to carry out operator activities.
To ensure that Ukrainian citizens located in another country do not have to return to issue a new document after the expiration of the old one, an online control mechanism has been introduced.
Internally displaced persons who were forced to change their place of registration within the borders of the state due to hostilities can apply to the nearest VHI office to exercise their right to issue a foreign passport. In this case, you need to provide the embassy with:
- the applicant’s identity card and confirmation of Ukrainian citizenship;
- international passport.
Modern technologies allow you to carry out the entire registration process online. You just need to confirm the authenticity of the specified personal information, join the electronic queue and determine the time of your visit in advance.
