There is an abnormally high demand for travel passports due to the start of the holiday season and the introduction of the EU visa-free regime for Ukraine. Since the beginning of the year, more than 1 million 800 thousand passports have been issued, more than 20 thousand documents are issued every day.
The large number of those who want to get a passport and queues in the offices created conditions for fraud mediators, who offer "help" in obtaining a biometric passport without a queue in 1, 3 or 5 days. The most such "mediators" can do is to facilitate in obtaining a document without a queue. Sometimes, those are unscrupulous workers of the migration service, many of whom have been caught by law enforcement officers. However, such offers are often just a fraud, since no travel agency and no other person can guarantee that a person will get to the migration service office without a queue or receives a passport in a short time.
The Migration Service of Ukraine reminds that according to the current legislation, the passport of a citizen of Ukraine for traveling abroad can be obtained only personally and only in one of three institutions: offices of the Migration Service, the center for providing administrative services or the service center "Passport service" of the state enterprise "Document". Under no circumstances, take advantage of the services of any intermediaries.
