Ukrainians obliged to show passport to buy SIM-card
Ukrainians will have to conclude a contract with the operator to purchase a SIM-card. This is provided for by amendments to the Law "On Telecommunications", which were adopted at the session of the Verkhovna Rada on Thursday (bill №3879 by MPs Vadym Kolesnichenko and Volodymyr Oliynyk).

The document, in particular, introduces the concept of identity telecom card – a tool, used to identify the subscriber's terminal equipment in the network (SIM-card, USIM- card, etc.). Provision of telecommunications services using this card shall be carried out on the basis of agreement between telecommunications operator and consumer in accordance with the legislation.

This law shall come into force upon its publication.
