A fine, according to Article 197 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, can be received for not having a passport, but only if this is a repeated violation of the law within a year (if the citizen has already been punished for the same article, but never received a passport).

In the case of the first violation of Article 197 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (residence without a passport of a citizen of Ukraine), only a warning is provided.
