According to the changes, from November 1, 2018, citizens of Ukraine will be able to exchange a passport in the form of a booklet for a passport in the form of an ID card at will at any time.

The HMS stressed that the legislation does not provide for the mandatory replacement of documents. This means that all previously issued documents will be valid until their expiration date..
