A biometric passport that can be obtained starting from January 1 will cost around €15, Chief Press-Officer of the National Migration Service of Ukraine Sergey Gunko said, according to hromadske.tv.
It will take 20 days to obtain the biometric passport.
“Starting from January 1, units available in each oblast will commence operation; moreover, we are going to expand their network soon. A person should visit the centre, write an application, take a photo, put fingers on a scanner, and that’s all. Manufacturing of a biometric passport will take 20 business days, according to the standard procedure. According to preliminary information from the manufacturer, the price will be approximately 15 euros, or equivalent amount in hryvnia. There is another faster procedure — you can get the passport in 7 business days by paying double fees”, — said Gunko.
Having the biometric passport is not obligatory. If a citizen does not want to have such passport — he or she can further use an old-pattern passport until the expiry date.
