Embassy of the United States Kyiv, Ukraine

The loss of a passport in Ukraine is a serious matter.  Without a passport, a traveler faces significant difficulties with hotels, banks, and potentially the police.  In order to replace your passport, you will need to come to the Embassy by making an appointment using our online appointment system.  You may be eligible for an emergency limited-validity passport, which does not require an appointment to process, if you must travel urgently or have an immediate need for a passport.  In either case, you should submit your application for a replacement passport as soon as possible after the loss or theft is discovered.

Application Requirements

Please bring the following with you when applying for a replacement passport:

1.    Proof of U.S. citizenship:

• a U.S. birth certificate;

Processing Time

An application for a full-validity (ten years for adults; five years for children under age of 16) passport will be sent to the United States for printing with a secure, photo-digitized image of the bearer. You should allow seven working days for your application to be processed. When your new passport is ready, you will need to come back to the Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy to pick it up.

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 or Consulate can issue an emergency limited-validity passport.
