Let us recall that the law which equates electronic passport in «DIIA» (both internal and international) to paper one and ID-Card came into force in Ukraine on August 23. E-passport in «DIIA» is available exclusively to the owners of ID-Cards and biometrical international passports. At the same time, such digital documents are unavailable to the owners of paper internal and international passports.
