State Migration Service of Ukraine Reports on Mobile Unit Operations
Last week, mobile teams from the State Migration Service of Ukraine delivered passport services in several frontline and border communities. Their work focused on the Kherson, Mykolaiv, Kharkiv, and Sumy regions, where residents received assistance with both applying for and collecting passport documents. These efforts are part of broader measures to support citizens in areas heavily affected by the ongoing conflict.

In the Kherson region, a mobile team visited the village of Chornobaivka, located in the Chornobaivka territorial community. During this trip, they accepted 12 applications for ID cards and 4 for international passports. One individual applied for both an ID card and an international passport simultaneously. The team also issued 2 ID cards and 8 international passports.
In the Kharkiv region, a mobile outreach session took place in the village of Vyshneve, within the Izium district. Here, 10 applications for biometric documents were processed—5 for international passports and 5 for ID cards. Four people opted to apply for both documents at once. Additionally, 15 local residents received consultations.
The Sumy region also benefited from mobile unit support. In the Boromlia community, 32 residents reached out for services, with 10 receiving their completed documents. Eleven individuals submitted new applications, including 4 who applied for both an ID card and an international passport. Specifically, 3 residents requested international passport services.
The Mykolaiv region was likewise served by a mobile team operating in the city of Ochakiv. By the end of the assignment, 34 documents had been processed—7 ID cards and 19 international passports. A total of 38 passport documents were issued as a result of this visit.
Overall, the mobile units of the State Migration Service have proven their effectiveness in providing essential passport documents to residents of frontline and border communities. This work is crucial, as access to passport documentation in these regions not only improves living standards but also enhances residents’ mobility and ability to travel abroad. Moreover, such state-level attention underscores the importance of supporting communities under difficult conditions, which can contribute to social stability in these areas.
The ongoing efforts to provide essential services in frontline areas are crucial for residents affected by the conflict. In addition to the recent operations in various regions, mobile teams have also been active in Kherson, ensuring that more citizens have access to necessary documentation and support during these challenging times.
