State Border Guard Service Launches New “Personal Account” Service to Check Restrictions on Travel Abroad

19 May , 2026  

The State Border Guard Service of Ukraine (SBGS) is launching a new “Personal Account” service so that citizens can independently check for restrictions on travel abroad, according to the SBGS press office.

“The new service on the SBSU website allows users to receive real-time information about restrictions imposed based on court decisions and rulings by the State Enforcement Service,” the statement said.

The service specifically addresses temporary restrictions imposed by a court or the enforcement service (child support, fines, other debts).

The “Personal Account” will be useful for parents who evade alimony payments or individuals who evade the enforcement of court decisions.

Previously, to obtain such information about travel restrictions, one had to submit a written request to the Main Center for Processing Special Information of the State Border Guard Service (by mail or in person) and wait several weeks for a response.

However, travel restrictions due to martial law (for men aged 18–60 and individuals subject to the provisions of paragraph 214 of the Rules for Crossing the State Border by Citizens of Ukraine, approved by Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 57 dated July 21, 1995) are verified according to separate rules and are not displayed in the account.

The State Border Guard Service notes that the service does not lift existing restrictions but allows users to quickly identify and resolve them.

The service operates 24/7 and is accessible from any device—smartphone, tablet, or computer.
