Enter the 4-digit Authority code from the passport. Immediately after payment, you will see either the name of the issuing office or a warning that no matching Ukrainian authority code exists.
- Price: $5 one-time payment
- Required information: only the 4-digit Authority code
- Result: displayed immediately after payment
- No passport upload required
Important: This Is Not a Full Passport Verification
The $5 service checks only one technical element: the four-digit Authority code. It does not confirm that the passport, photograph, personal information, or person using the document is genuine.
If you need a complete answer, choose one of these services:
- Full Ukrainian Passport Verification — $90 checks the complete document for signs of forgery, digital editing, inconsistent data, and other authenticity problems.
- Complete Woman Background Check — $195 investigates the woman’s real identity, photographs, online profiles, documents, location, and dating story.
Enter the 4-digit Authority code:
Choose the Right Level of Verification
| Service | What it checks | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Authority Code Lookup | Only the 4-digit issuing-office code | $5 |
| Full Passport Verification | The complete passport, including the photograph, personal data, format, security details, machine-readable zone, and signs of digital editing | $90 |
| Complete Woman Background Check | The woman’s identity, photographs, online profiles, documents, location, background, and dating story | $195 |
The $5 service checks only the 4-digit issuing-authority code. A valid code does not prove that the entire passport, photograph, personal data, or identity is genuine.
The Authority field in a Ukrainian passport identifies the office connected to the document’s issuance. It normally appears as a four-digit numerical code on the biographical data page.
This detail can be important when a woman you met online sends a Ukrainian passport to prove her identity and then asks for money for travel, a visa, passport renewal, medical treatment, rent, or another emergency.
The $5 Authority Code Lookup gives you a fast preliminary answer without requiring a complete passport investigation.

What You Receive After Payment
Immediately after payment, the service checks the code and displays one of two types of results:
- the name of the Ukrainian issuing office connected to the code; or
- a warning that no matching Ukrainian issuing authority exists.
When available, the result may also help identify the Ukrainian region or government office connected to the code.
You do not need to upload the passport, photographs, correspondence, or other documents for this lookup. Only the four-digit Authority code is required.
What the $5 Authority Code Lookup Can and Cannot Confirm
| The lookup can confirm | The lookup cannot confirm |
|---|---|
| Whether the four-digit code corresponds to a Ukrainian issuing authority | Whether the entire passport is genuine |
| The office connected to a recognized code | Whether the photograph was replaced or edited |
| Whether no matching authority exists | Whether the personal data belongs to a real person |
| Whether the code requires closer investigation | Whether the person using the passport is its real owner |
A scammer can copy a real Authority code from another passport. Therefore, a recognized code is useful information, but it is not proof that the complete document is authentic.
If the passport is being used to support a request for money, travel expenses, medical costs, rent, a visa, or another emergency, consider ordering a full Ukrainian passport verification for $90.
Where to Find the Authority Code
On a Ukrainian international travel passport, look for the field labeled:
Authority
The value next to it normally contains four digits, for example:
1234
Do not confuse the Authority code with:
- the passport number;
- the date of issue;
- the expiration date;
- the place of birth;
- the machine-readable zone;
- a tax number or another personal identifier.
This service is intended for a clearly visible four-digit Authority code from a Ukrainian passport.
Authority Code, Issuing Authority, and Place of Issue
International forms may use several similar terms:
- issuing authority;
- passport authority;
- authority code;
- place of issue;
- issued by;
- issuing body.
These terms are related but are not always identical.
- Country of issue usually means Ukraine.
- Issuing authority means the government office connected to the passport.
- Authority code is the four-digit identifier shown in the document.
- Place of issue may refer to the country, city, region, or issuing office, depending on the form.
If you are completing an airline, visa, banking, or identity-verification form, check the exact wording of the field.
Why the Authority Code Matters in Dating Scams
A passport is often sent after a man begins questioning a woman’s identity or financial request.
She may say:
- “Here is my passport. Now you know I am real.”
- “Why would I send my passport if I were lying?”
- “The passport proves that I live in Ukraine.”
- “I received my passport, but now I need money for the ticket.”
- “There is one final payment before I can travel.”
The document is used to reduce doubt and make the next payment appear safer.
Most foreign men cannot independently recognize Ukrainian issuing offices, passport formats, authority codes, machine-readable data, or security elements. An official-looking image may therefore create false confidence.
Looking up the Authority code is a low-cost first step. It may immediately reveal that the code does not exist. However, it should not be treated as a substitute for full document or identity verification.
What If the Authority Code Exists?
A recognized code means that the number corresponds to an issuing authority in our database. It does not mean that the entire passport is genuine.
A scammer can:
- copy a real code from another passport;
- use a genuine passport image as a template;
- replace the name, photograph, or date of birth;
- leave the original code while editing other fields;
- use a real passport belonging to another person;
- combine a genuine code with an invented identity.
The correct conclusion is:
The Authority code exists and corresponds to an issuing office.
The incorrect conclusion is:
The entire passport must therefore be genuine.
A recognized code is often the point where a full $90 passport verification becomes important. The rest of the document may still contain a replaced photograph, false personal data, an altered date of birth, an incorrect passport number, or a fabricated machine-readable zone.
What If No Authority Is Found?
If the service reports that no matching Ukrainian authority exists, first check that the four digits were entered correctly.
A negative result may mean:
- one or more digits were entered incorrectly;
- the image is blurred and the code was misread;
- the code was invented;
- the document was digitally fabricated;
- the number is not an Authority code;
- the supposed passport is not a genuine Ukrainian document.
If the code was entered correctly and no matching authority exists, the passport should be treated as suspicious.

Can a Closed Office Have a Real Code?
Yes. Some Ukrainian issuing offices have closed, relocated, reorganized, or stopped operating, particularly in territories affected by occupation or war.
A code connected to a closed office does not automatically make an older passport fake. The date of issue must be compared with the period when that office operated.
However, a recently issued passport claiming to come from an office that stopped operating years earlier would be a serious warning sign.
This type of timeline comparison is outside the scope of the $5 lookup and may require a complete passport review.
Common Authority Code Problems in Fake Passports
Suspicious passport images may contain:
- a nonexistent Authority code;
- a real code copied from another document;
- a code connected to the wrong Ukrainian region;
- a code from an office that did not operate on the claimed issue date;
- a real code combined with false personal data;
- digits changed during digital editing;
- a code inconsistent with the passport design or generation.
The Authority field becomes more useful when it is compared with the passport number, date of issue, photograph, place of birth, security design, and machine-readable zone.
Those additional elements are examined during our full Ukrainian passport verification.
The Official Ukrainian Invalid-Document Check Is Different
The State Migration Service of Ukraine provides a free service that checks passport details against databases of invalid documents.
The official service uses the document type, series, and number. It may show whether a passport has been recorded as invalid, lost, or stolen.
You can access it on the State Migration Service of Ukraine website.
| Official invalid-document service | Our $5 Authority Code Lookup |
|---|---|
| Uses the document type, series, and number | Uses only the four-digit Authority code |
| Checks databases of invalid documents | Identifies the issuing office connected to the code |
| May show whether a passport is recorded as invalid | May reveal that no matching authority code exists |
| Does not confirm the owner’s identity | Does not verify the complete passport or identity |
When the $5 Authority Code Lookup Is the Right Choice
Use this service when:
- you only need to identify a four-digit Ukrainian Authority code;
- you want to know which issuing office the code belongs to;
- the Authority field looks suspicious;
- a woman claims that the passport was issued in a particular region;

- you need to know whether the code exists at all.
Look up the Ukrainian passport Authority code for $5.
When You Need Full Passport Verification
The $5 Authority Code Lookup is not sufficient when you need to determine whether the complete document is genuine or fake.
Order full verification when:
- the passport was sent to prove a woman’s identity;
- money has already been requested;
- the photograph or personal data may have been edited;
- the name, age, place of birth, or dates look suspicious;
- the passport number and machine-readable zone need to be checked;
- the document design may not match the issue period;
- the Authority code exists, but the rest of the passport remains suspicious.
Our full Ukrainian passport verification service — $90 examines the Authority code together with the passport format, personal data, photograph, security elements, machine-readable zone, and claimed identity.

When You Need to Verify the Woman
A passport can be genuine while the dating story is false.
The woman may:
- use another person’s passport;
- lie about her real name or location;
- hide her marital status;
- use several dating identities;
- send money to an unrelated third party;
- use a genuine document to support a fake emergency.
If you need to determine whether the woman herself is real and whether her story is accurate, use our Complete Woman Background Check — $195.
This investigation may include her real identity, photographs, online profiles, location, documents, background details, and inconsistencies in her dating story.
If you only have photographs, use our person identification by picture service.
For a wider explanation of fake profiles, documents, travel stories, and money requests, read our guide on how Ukrainian dating scams work.

Check the Authority Code Before You Send Money
A four-digit Authority code may look like a small technical detail. In a suspicious dating case, it can immediately reveal that the passport story does not make sense.
Do not treat a recognized code as proof that the entire passport is genuine. Do not ignore a nonexistent code when the document is being used to support an urgent financial request.
Choose the service that matches the answer you need:
- Authority Code Lookup — $5 for the four-digit issuing-office code only;
- Full Ukrainian Passport Verification — $90 to determine whether the complete document appears genuine or fake;
- Complete Woman Background Check — $195 to investigate the woman, her identity, profiles, documents, and story.
