Extension of the Validity of a Ukrainian International Passport

Passport Extension in the United Kingdom: Legal Solutions for Ukrainian Citizens

A Ukrainian international passport may be extended in the United Kingdom only under specific conditions. Extension is possible solely for biometric passports that are nearing expiry but have not been expired for more than five years. Temporary or already expired passports beyond this term are not eligible for extension and must be reissued.

The legal marketplace Consultant offers full support for the passport extension procedure, in line with Ukrainian legislation and internal regulations of Ukrainian consular offices in the UK.
