Details: Sybiga noted that the e-Consul system should be fully operational this year, which will simplify access to consular services.
In particular, they plan to launch automated notary services in all Ukrainian diplomatic missions abroad.
“This means that in e-Consul you will be able to choose the type of power of attorney or application you need, if necessary, add information, and during your visit to the consul, a document ready for signing will be waiting for you. Saving time and effort,” he noted.
Also, within six months, new services for the most popular services should be launched in the system. According to Sybiga, the experience of receiving public services for Ukrainians abroad will be similar in simplicity and accessibility to the experience of using Diya.
In February, courier delivery of foreign passports will be introduced in several countries in cooperation with Novaya Poshta, which means that applicants will only need to visit the embassy once – to take biometrics.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs plans to start issuing driver’s licenses abroad in the spring.
In the second half of 2025, a comprehensive service for registering the birth of a child abroad should become operational, which will include state registration of birth, acquisition of Ukrainian citizenship by birth, registration in the State Register of Individuals – Taxpayers, and entry of the child into the Unified State Demographic Register.
The Minister emphasized that during the same period, the possibility of issuing a tax number (RNOKPP) and ID card should become available in Ukrainian diplomatic missions.
We will remind you that in December, the Cabinet of Ministers approved a document that further simplifies consular services for Ukrainian citizens abroad.
