The Ukrainian passport (Ukrainian: паспорт громадянина України, romanized: pasport hromadianyna Ukrainy, lit. 'passport of a citizen of Ukraine') is a document issued for nationals of Ukraine as proof of Ukrainian citizenship. The country issues international passports that are used for travel abroad. Until 2016, citizens were issued a soft booklet internal passport as their primary domestic identification document; the booklets were replaced by an identity card with existing passports remaining valid. Electronic passports are available to citizens through the government smartphone application Diia.
