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.

• Law on ID-passports: where they will put a marriage stamp

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:

1. the card is small, it is easier to carry;
2. the new document is more reliable, it is much more difficult to forge it;
3. polycarbonate is not afraid of moisture and is much stronger than a paper passport;
4. adding an electronic digital signature will allow voting online;
5. when NFC modules appear in all institutions, a passport with a chip will be able to replace a whole package of documents;
6. Passport card entitles you to visa-free entry to Turkey.

Minuses:

1. plastic passport will have to be changed every 10 years;
2. 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).
3. The ID-card is not suitable for travel within Europe.

Today, the passport of a citizen of Belarus is a document that has a familiar appearance, with seals, registration stamps, and signatures. And biometrics is a personality identification technology that uses the physiological parameters of a person: fingerprints, iris, and so on. Such data is more difficult to fake.

For example, Ukraine started issuing biometric passports in 2015, and ID cards in 2016. Why do we always talk about two different documents - a passport and an identification card?

It's simple: one is needed to cross the border, the second - for use within the country. But the data is stored on both media exactly the same. Except that biometric passports will be used to obtain visas.

But the new document will differ more seriously from the current Belarusian passport. It must be embedded with a special chip containing a photo of the owner, his usual data (last name, first name, patronymic, date of birth, passport number, date of issue and expiration) and special biometric information. In our case, these will be fingerprints.

ID-card will receive exactly the same set of information about the holder. The Ministry of Internal Affairs does not exclude that over time the need for biometric passports will disappear and only a card will remain, with which it will be possible to travel abroad. But it's still too early to talk about it. As a matter of fact, there are still disputes in the Government about whether it is necessary to introduce biometrics at all. But the Ministry of Internal Affairs has a tough position on this issue, which its representatives defend at every working group, at any discussion of the project launched just six months ago.

The Department of Citizenship and Migration plans to issue about a million ID-cards per year. And it will take about 500-600 thousand biometric passports, as they will be needed only by those who travel abroad. So you can order and pay for the production of the second document at will.

The first document with electronic information is going to be issued in the fourth quarter of 2018, that is, in a year and a half.

biometric passport, like the usual one, they will be made on a paper basis, but it will still be more durable. Externally, the new passport will not be different. Same blue cover. Only a special icon will be added on it.

At the same time, one significant innovation will be introduced - it will be possible to obtain two identical biometric passports at the same time. This will facilitate the procedure for obtaining new visas. As long as one of the passports is in the consulate, you can safely travel abroad with the second one.

That is, at the end of 2018 we will be able to have two passports and a national card. By the way, citizen's ID-cards will be made on a plastic basis. They will be somewhat reminiscent of current driver's licenses.

True, they are not going to combine the two documents, since in this way a problem may arise with the deprivation of drivers' rights. Only such cards will still have a chip, as in the cover of new passports. Documents will be issued from birth. Up to 14 years - for 5 years, and after 14 - for 10 years.

The place of registration will not be indicated on the ID-card - only on the chip. This will be done in order not to change the card every time after moving to a new apartment. Now the Department of Citizenship and Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is preparing to modernize its offices, where they will take fingerprints and take pictures. Passports will be issued only there. And all information about personalization will be located in Minsk.

That is, all data about each citizen of the country will be collected in a single database. And while all the nuances of the introduction of the new technology are being coordinated, there are suggestions that in the future the ID-card will become not just an identity card, but also a means of payment.

But everything will depend on the readiness of banks for this. Perhaps they will also be able to agree that our recently created Interbank Identification System be integrated with the passport system, which will facilitate the receipt of financial services.
