The State Service for Personal Data Protection has said that the law on a single state demographic register involves the collection of excessive information about a person, which does not comply with international law.
"We object to collecting such a huge amount of information, some of which is not needed," the first deputy head of the service, Lilia Oleksiuk, said during a roundtable on the introduction of biometric documents in Ukraine held in Kyiv last week.
She noted that under international law, biometric data should only be used in foreign travel passports, but not in national identity cards.
