This was reported by the press service of the State Border Service, commenting on the appearance in the media of information that border guards do not accept e-documents in the “Action” application for crossing the border.
To cross the border, a person must physically have a foreign passport, the department emphasizes.
The State Tax Service notes that e-passports can help border guards carry out additional personal identification.
Border guards can also accept documents in the “Action”, which, for example, confirm that a person has a disability or others necessary to allow certain categories of citizens to cross the border, the department notes. “However, if inspectors of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine have doubts about the validity of the documents in the “Action” and the authenticity of the mobile application itself, an additional check may be carried out.
