Recently, our team was asked a question: “Can I update my biometric data for my Ukrainian passport or ID card at the Consulate in Manchester, and what documents do I need to bring for this procedure?”

We wanna share the answer from our specialists:

19.11.2025 07:51:46 Yes, you can update your biometric data for your Ukrainian passport or ID card at the Ukrainian Consulate in Manchester. To do this, you generally need to bring your valid Ukrainian passport or ID card, proof of your legal stay in the UK (such as a visa or residence permit), proof of address in the UK, and, if applicable, any documents justifying the need to update your biometric data (such as documents confirming a change of personal data). It is advisable to bring passport-sized photos, although the consulate may take your photo and fingerprints on the spot. Always check whether you need to schedule an appointment in advance and verify any specific requirements with the consulate before your visit.

19.11.2025 07:51:51 From a legal perspective, under Ukrainian law, consular offices abroad, including the Honorary Consulate of Ukraine in Manchester, may provide limited services for Ukrainian citizens regarding passports and ID cards. However, updating biometric data (such as for renewal or changes) typically requires an appointment and is handled through the consular system. Full biometric passport services might be limited at honorary consulates and could require referral to the Embassy in London or other full consulates. It is possible to initiate the process at the Manchester consulate, but confirm availability as services can vary. Required documents generally include: - Your current Ukrainian passport or ID card (original and copy). - Completed application form (available at the consulate). - Recent biometric-compatible photographs (specific size and format as per Ukrainian standards). - Proof of identity and Ukrainian citizenship (e.g., birth certificate if needed). - Proof of residence in the UK (e.g., utility bill or residence permit). - Payment receipt for consular fees. - Any additional documents related to changes (e.g., marriage certificate for name changes). Procedures are governed by the Law of Ukraine on Citizenship and consular regulations. It is advisable to contact the consulate directly for the most current requirements and to schedule an appointment, as rules can change.

19.11.2025 07:56:23 Yes, the Ukrainian Consulate in Manchester allows applicants to update or re-capture biometric data when applying for a new biometric passport or ID card. Biometric data cannot be amended separately from the issuance of a new document, so you must submit a full application for renewal or replacement. During the appointment, the Consulate will take your fingerprints, digital photo, and signature. To proceed, you should bring your valid or expired Ukrainian passport (internal or international), your Ukrainian ID card if available, proof of residence in the UK, and documents confirming any changes to your personal details (such as a marriage certificate or name-change document). If your previous passport was lost or stolen, you must also submit a police report. Since biometric capture is conducted only in person, you must schedule an appointment through the Consulate’s electronic booking system.

19.11.2025 08:00:37 You may update your biometric data at the Ukrainian Consulate in Manchester, but only in the context of applying for a new passport or ID card, as current regulations do not permit standalone biometric updates. When you submit an application for issuance, replacement, or renewal, the Consulate will electronically collect your fingerprints, photograph, and digital signature on the day of your visit. Make sure to have with you your existing Ukrainian passport or ID card, any previous documents proving identity or citizenship, proof of lawful stay or residence in the UK, and original civil status documents if your personal details have changed since your last issuance. If your document has been lost, bring a police reference confirming the report. An appointment is mandatory, and you should book it in advance through the Consulate’s online scheduling portal.
