Due to military conflicts, citizens of Ukraine often lose their important documents and then face the problem of recovering them.



According to the Ministry of Justice, the procedure for recovering various types of documents differs depending on the specific situation and requires a certain set of documents for their restoration.



Recovery of property document


If you lose a property document issued after 2013, you can obtain an extract from the State Register of Property Rights. With this extract, you will be able to manage the property and submit claims for compensation if something happens to the property. It can be obtained online, at the CNAP, or from a notary.


If you lost the document before 2013 and have no records in the register, you need to contact the authority that issued the document. If the information is lost, you may need to go to court.



Recovery of passport


In the case of loss or theft of a passport, you need to apply for a new one. For this, contact the State Migration Service.



  • Application for loss/theft of passport

  • Extract from the Unified State Register (if the passport was stolen in Ukraine)

  • Documents confirming identity and status

Creating a new passport will take from 10 to 20 days, and its cost will be UAH 558 or UAH 928 in case of urgent issuance.
