context_page_description: The Ukrainian identity card or Passport of the Citizen of Ukraine is an identity document issued to citizens of Ukraine. Every Ukrainian citizen aged 14 or above and permanently residing in Ukraine must possess an identity card issued by local authorities of the State Migration Service of Ukraine. Ukrainian identity cards can be used as a travel document to enter Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Russia and Turkey.
  Identity cards are valid for 10 years and afterwards must be exchanged for a new document.
context_section_description: From 1992 until 2016 Ukrainian internal passports were only produced and issued in the form of a traditional passport booklet. Regardless of the move to the new ID card format from 2016, all 1992 series passports currently remain valid.
  1992 series passports had a dark blue cover and contained 16 pages. All information in the passport is recorded in the Ukrainian language, except for the holder's name, date and place of birth, and issuing authority, which are given both in Ukrainian and Russian, or stamps about person's residence in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea or Sevastopol, which could be written only in Russian.
  The information contained within the passport included the holder's:
  Surname
  Forename(s)
  Patronymic name
  Date and place of birth
  A photograph and signature of the holder
  Name of the person's spouse (if married)
  Names of any dependent children (younger than 16 years)
  Eligibility for military service
  Registered address
  1992 series passports do not have an expiration date; they remain valid throughout the holder's life. Despite this, additional photographs need to be affixed on reaching the age of 25 and 45. It is also expected that any changes in marital status, eligibility for military service, and registered place of residence are subsequently recorded in the passport. Since 2016, the change in marital status is no longer recorded in a passport or on a biometric chip of an ID card
  A new passport can be obtained if there is a change in holder's name, most commonly due to marriage. New passports are also issued in cases when the original passport has been subject to significant wear or tear, or has been lost or stolen.
