Recently, our team was asked a question: “What steps should I take if I lose my Ukrainian passport in Scotland, and can the Consulate in Edinburgh issue a temporary travel document?”

We wanna share the answer from our specialists:

11.11.2025 12:39:58 If your Ukrainian passport is lost in Scotland, you must immediately report the loss to the local police and obtain a written confirmation or police report. This document will be required by the Ukrainian Consulate in Edinburgh when applying for a replacement. The Consulate cannot issue a new biometric passport abroad, but it can provide a Temporary Travel Document (TTD) that allows you to return to Ukraine. To obtain it, you must submit a police report, proof of Ukrainian citizenship (copy of the lost passport, ID card, or birth certificate), and two recent photographs. The Consulate will verify your identity through Ukraine’s State Migration Service. The TTD is typically valid for one return journey and must be surrendered to the authorities upon arrival in Ukraine, where a new passport can be issued.

11.11.2025 12:49:39 In case of losing your Ukrainian passport while in Scotland, the first step is to report the incident to the nearest police station and request an official certificate of loss. With this document, you should contact the Ukrainian Consulate in Edinburgh to initiate the procedure for obtaining a Temporary Travel Document (“Посвідчення особи на повернення в Україну”). This document is issued only for returning to Ukraine and cannot be used as a regular passport for travel to other countries. You will need to complete a consular application form, submit two photographs, and provide any available proof of identity or citizenship (such as a copy of the lost passport, ID card, or consular registration). The Consulate will confirm your citizenship through official records in Ukraine before issuing the document, usually within a few working days.
