A family of us are travelling from the UK to Belgium on interrail passes. We have a Ukrainian girl travelling with us and she only has a Ukrainian passport. How do we do the outward and inward journeys? The app has identified her as Ukrainian by her passport number.

The app has identified her as Ukrainian by her passport number. 

The app doesn't identify anyone by passport number. It means that Ukraine was indicated as country of residence when ordering the pass. Since Interrail is not valid in Ukraine, she won't have any inbound/outbound journey limitations.

Thank you for your reply. So does this mean that it will be ok for her to travel on the Interrail pass? We can just add the journeys and not worry about it?

In fact this is now a bit of an anachronism. In the distant past there were considerable PRICE difference between EU and INTERrail-EUrail was for more expensive and for non-juniors also ONLY for 1st cl. To overcome this people from Russye and Ukrayna etc. (and it dates from times when also countries like the Baltics and RO/BG were still out of EU) were allowed to use INterRail.

People from UKR can still travel for free in many countries on their passpt. alone.

I see. Makes sense, thank you.
