Since October 24, Ukrainian men in Europe have stopped being issued passports

Since October 24, Ukrainian men located in Europe are not being issued passports and their documents are not being accepted.

This was reported by document processing consultant Vlad Kazmyruk on his TikTok.

According to him, the problem specifically concerns men. “Since October 24, men — specifically men — are not being issued passports and [their documents] are not being accepted. Either they are accepted, but with interruptions,” Kazmyruk said.

The consultant said he called the hotlines of several agencies to find out the reason. According to his information, the failure is occurring in the system of the Ministry of Defense, which transmits information to the state enterprise “Dokument” for issuing passports to men.

“I asked when the work would be restored. They reply that there is no such information at all. But I think we should expect about a week,” Kazmyruk said.

He advised against going to process documents for now: those who live far from embassies and “Dokument” branches may simply waste time and money on travel.

Commenters confirmed the failure in processing documents for men — and not only in Europe, but also in Ukraine.

It was previously reported that Ukrainian entrepreneurs were unable to log into the taxpayer’s electronic cabinet and pay taxes for a long time. Eventually the malfunction was fixed, and tax officials promised not to penalize those who delay tax payments due to the failure.
