Passportization is defined as the mass conferral of citizenship to the population of a particular territory by distributing passports, generally within a relatively short period. This policy has been primarily used by Russian authorities who have provided easy access for persons born on the territory, sometimes holders of former Soviet passports, to apply for citizenship. In particular, the requirement of five years' residence on both Russian and Ukrainian territories is waived for former citizens of the Soviet Union.
