Denis Monastyrsky: Mobile complexes for issuing passports of Ukraine will work not only in Poland
The work of mobile complexes for registration of passports of Ukraine, which are now deployed in Warsaw, will subsequently be continued in other countries where there are the largest number of refugees from Ukraine and there is an objective need to provide such services - said the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Denis Monastyrsky in a comment to Ukrainian media during a visit to Warsaw.
“After talking with our citizens, I realized that these machines will work abroad for a very long time. The number of applications for registration of new documents is only growing,” said Denis Monastyrsky.
The Minister noted that now there is a huge demand for the service of registration of Ukrainian documents, since millions of people have left Ukraine and most of them have found shelter in the Republic of Poland. Many citizens, in an attempt to escape from Russian missiles and shells, went abroad with internal passports, or lost them. In prewar times, in such cases, such issues were resolved by consular institutions.
“But when we studied the number of such appeals, it turned out that they exceeded the capacity of consular institutions hundreds of times,” the minister explained the need to deploy mobile complexes for registration of passports of Ukraine.
According to the Minister of Internal Affairs, next month a stationary office will open in Warsaw, where it will be possible to issue both foreign and domestic ID-passport of a citizen of Ukraine. In turn, mobile complexes will go to other regions of Poland, as well as, after reaching similar agreements with these countries - to the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Bulgaria.
In the capital of Poland, the work of five mobile complexes has been deployed, the arrival of three more days is expected.
It is planned to install up to eight mobile cars, one car station will work for issuance, in order not to load the reception of documents,” said First Deputy Head of the State Migration Service of Ukraine Irina Kovalevska. Each such mobile complex per day can serve 20 people.
The inpatient center, which will soon open in Warsaw, will host 400-500 people daily. Deadlines for production and receipt of documents - up to a month. Such centers are also planned to be opened in Wroclaw, Gdańsk and Krakow.
