What should I do if my passport photo is freely available online?

The first thing you should do in this case is to contact the administration of the site where the photo is posted with a request to delete all files that violate your rights. You can do this by emailing the site with a request. Be sure to include links to such photo/video files. Also note that this content was posted without your permission.

It is also advisable for you to contact the police by submitting a statement about the commission of a crime. Since such actions are illegal, they involve the onset of criminal liability, according to Art. 182 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. In particular, this article indicates that the collection, storage, use, destruction, as well as distribution of confidential information about a person are illegal actions.

You also have the right to apply to the court with a demand for the removal of the photo and compensation for the moral damage caused, justifying your position on the basis of Art. 308 of the Civil Code of Ukraine: photography, other works of art depicting a natural person may be publicly shown, reproduced, distributed only with the consent of this person. To do this, we recommend that you definitely record the fact of the appearance of the photo on the site by taking screenshots.

Next, already with all these statements and the court decision, you can apply to TsNAP (or another department that issues passports in your area) to replace your passport.
