Recently, our team was asked a question: “Can the Embassy in London help update the information in my Ukrainian internal passport, such as address or family status, while I’m living in the UK?”

We wanna share the answer from our specialists:

01.12.2025 09:43:46 From a legal perspective, Ukrainian embassies abroad, including the one in London, generally do not have the authority to update information in a Ukrainian internal passport (such as address or family status). Internal passports are managed by the State Migration Service of Ukraine and typically require in-person procedures within Ukraine. However, the embassy can assist with related consular services, such as issuing or renewing international passports, authenticating documents, or providing information on how to register changes through Ukrainian authorities. It is advisable to contact the embassy directly for specific guidance on your situation, as procedures may vary based on individual circumstances and current Ukrainian legislation.

01.12.2025 09:46:39 The Embassy in London can assist with certain civil-status updates, but it is important to note that Ukrainian internal passports are issued and modified exclusively within Ukraine. Consular offices abroad do not have the authority to change the address registration, place of residence, or insert new family-status information into the domestic passport book. However, the Embassy can issue the relevant civil-status certificates (marriage, divorce, name change, birth registration, etc.) or provide consular services confirming these facts for use in Ukraine. Once these documents are prepared, you may submit them to the appropriate Ukrainian authorities or your local ЦНАП through an authorised representative under a properly drafted power of attorney. The Embassy may also advise on alternative documents accepted in the UK if your internal passport contains outdated data.

01.12.2025 09:51:08 Ukrainian consular missions abroad do not perform updates to the internal passport (паспорт громадянина України у формі книжечки), as all changes to address registration, family status, or place of residence must be recorded by territorial bodies of the State Migration Service in Ukraine. The Embassy in London cannot amend the passport itself or affix new stamps. What the Embassy can do is help you obtain or certify the underlying documents that prove the change—such as marriage or divorce certificates, birth registrations, or official statements confirming your personal details. With these documents, your representative in Ukraine can update your passport on your behalf if you issue a notarised power of attorney that meets Ukrainian legal requirements. The Embassy can also clarify which UK authorities may accept your foreign residence address without requiring changes to the internal passport.
