KIEV, Oct. 6 – The National Bank of Ukraine has said that copies of passports made during forex deals between citizens and banks should be stamped to indicate they were made to carry out such a transaction, in order to prevent the illegal use of copies.

"The copies will be stamped confirming that the transactions was held – so it would be impossible to use the copy to carry out the repeated transactions," Valeriy Lytvytsky, the head of a group of advisors to the NBU governor, said.
