Projects

[edit]

Ukrainian Travel Passports

[edit]

The launch of new Ukrainian travel passports was started in June 2007. The passport has 25 security levels. The passport design contains the traditional ornamental motifs and heraldry of Ukraine and its regions. The State Centre for Document Personalization is responsible for document personalisation, using laser engraving and perforation technology. The recorded information cannot be changed without destroying the form itself.

The MIA of Ukraine performs application, registration and issuance of the travel passports with the use of EDAPS technologies within the State Information System of Individual Persons Registration and Documentation (SIS).

Ukrainian Driving Licenses

[edit]

  • A crew member certificate on a plastic basis.
  • Electronic vehicle technical inspection card.
