Ukraine's internal passports to be replaced with cards

The Cabinet of Ministers has approved a special card to replace the internal passport.

This has been announced by deputy head of the Presidential Administration Dmytro Shymkiv at a press briefing after the meeting of the National Council of Reforms.

"The government yesterday approved the card to replace the internal passport," Shymkiv said.

As a reminder, the State Migration Service of Ukraine forecasted that Ukrainian passports would be issued in form of cards by the end of 2015, but the start of the reform would depend on funding.
