Getting a biometric passport in Ukraine turned out to be a very high-quality state service.
This was told by the editor-in-chief of NV Vitaliy Sych.
"It started with the fact that I called the hotline in the document service" Done! The girl advised me not to go to the department in the center on the pl. Lesia Ukrainka because of the influx of people. And sent to Osokorki in the department at. Bazhan 1E, "he wrote.
At the "reception" he was met by polite girls in uniform and announced what and how to do - what documents are needed and what is the sequence of actions.
"We only need the original of the internal passport and the originals of all passports. As in a decent bank, you get a coupon with your number in the queue. The waiting took three minutes. Reception of documents took no more than five minutes. Another beautiful polite girl is attention! - she herself quickly made copies of all documents (she can use office equipment) and sent me for payment. There one more girl helps to make payment in the terminal - 1350 UAH. It's two more minutes.. A small nuance: if the amount with the surrender, the surrender will go to the account of your mobile phone, "- said Owl.
Then the journalist had to wait 40 minutes for photography - all seven booths were occupied.
"You can wait right there on the couch or have coffee in a cafe. The scoreboard on the wall shows an approximate waiting time for each person in the queue. For example, ticket 243 - 32 minutes. Photographing and fingerprinting - the longest procedure. Takes about 10 minutes. All originals of passports and receipts are returned to you. In total, the submission took an hour from me. Now you only need to wait for a text message about the readiness of the passport - like in the embassy of the US or some UK. The passport must be ready within 5 working days, "he said..
SMS, informing that the passport was ready on the fourth day, says Owl.
"I came again to Bazhana 1E, waited in line for 5 minutes, the girl gave me a new biometric passport with a human photo and - attention - wished me a good day. Pinch me. I am in Ukraine? And now I want the courts and all other state bodies to work like this, "he added..
The story of Owl in a few hours scored more than 2000 "likes".
