The Ukrainian Travel Document of a child is a document used for travel abroad which is issued to Ukrainian citizens under the age of 18 (16 in some cases).
The Travel Document of a Child is issued for 3 years and it has only 8 (or 16 or 32 pages in theory). The Travel Document of Child is actually an international passport (PR sub-type). It satisfies the international standards; for example, it has two machine-readable strings at the bottom of the first page. Similar to a Ukrainian passport, the information in the document is given in Ukrainian and English. The Travel Document of a Child is issued with a color photo.
The first and last name in the Travel Document of a Child by default is transliterated from Ukrainian to English according to the national transliteration system (1996). However, a person's parent has an option to request the desired English spelling of his child's first and last name.
It is required to provide a notary sealed request from both parents to obtain the Travel Document of a Child.
Famous quotes containing the words travel, document and/or child:
““If Steam has done nothing else, it has at least added a whole new Species to English Literature ... the booklets—the little thrilling romances, where the Murder comes at page fifteen, and the Wedding at page forty—surely they are due to Steam?”
“And when we travel by electricity—if I may venture to develop your theory—we shall have leaflets instead of booklets, and the Murder and the Wedding will come on the same page.””
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“What is a diary as a rule? A document useful to the person who keeps it, dull to the contempory who reads it, invaluable to the student, centuries afterwards, who treasures it!”
—Ellen Terry (1848–1928)
“My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
