When a court may be needed to obtain a passport – the Migration Service shared a real story
The Migration Service of Kirovohrad and Cherkasy regions reported a case where it was necessary to go to court to obtain a citizen's passport of Ukraine.
As noted by the service, 49-year-old Roman Volodymyrovych received a Ukrainian citizen's passport in the form of an ID card for the first time. Previously, he only had a Soviet passport issued in 1974, which was later lost.
To obtain the document, the man applied to Zvenyhorodka department of the Central-Southern Interregional Office of the State Migration Service.
It turned out that Mr. Roman was born and lived in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea until 2013, where he received the Soviet passport. He lost the document there. As a result, the migration service archives contained no information about his previous registration: neither applications nor relevant records in the registers were preserved. Because of this, it was impossible to identify the person by the standard procedure.
The solution was found through the court – the man's identity was established through legal proceedings. Based on the court decision and birth certificate, migration service employees issued to him a Ukrainian citizen's passport in the form of an ID card.
