Embassy of the United States Kyiv, Ukraine

The American Citizen Services (ACS) Unit accepts passport applications by appointment to renew expiring or expired passports, or replace passports that have been lost, stolen, or mutilated.  ACS also accepts applications for Consular Reports of Birth Abroad and first U.S. passports for U.S. citizen children born outside of the United States.  Each U.S. citizen in Ukraine, including children and infants, must have his or her own valid passport.  A lost or stolen passport must be replaced immediately.

U.S. Embassies and Consulates overseas no longer issue full validity passports.  Overseas posts accept passport applications and electronically forward them to the National Passport Center in the United States.  The full validity passport is then sent back to the Embassy or Consulate to be issued to the applicant.  The turnaround time for this process is usually five to seven business days.

If you live in Ukraine and wish to have your new passport sent to you via paid courier service, visit the courier office at the consular section security checkpoint before entering the embassy for your appointment and attach the receipt to your passport application. 

In cases where the applicant must travel urgently or has an immediate need for a passport, the Embassy can issue an emergency passport that is typically valid for three months.  The emergency passport can be exchanged later for a full validity passport at an Embassy or Consulate overseas or at a Passport Agency in the United States.  For further information on passport services, please see the Department of State's website on U.S. passports.
