For Ukrainians living abroad, contacting a consulate can be a complex and time-consuming process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To date, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine has launched a pilot project, which commenced on July 1, 2025, in 40 diplomatic institutions worldwide. This project aims to enhance the service for Ukrainians abroad through digital notarization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Previously, to receive notarial services, such as issuing powers of attorney, Ukrainians had to visit the consulate in person, which required several visits: one to submit documents and another to receive the finished document. Additionally, during the first visit, a consular fee had to be paid, and the lack of necessary documents could result in additional visits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andriy Sybiga, Minister of Foreign Affairs, noted that the new procedure will be available through the “e-Consul” system. Ukrainians can now apply for notarial actions online, reducing the need for multiple visits to the consulate to a single visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Digital notary services are currently available at the Consulates General in Hamburg, Milan, Gda\u0144sk, and several Ukrainian consulates in various countries, including Australia, Argentina, Vietnam, China, and Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To obtain a notarized document, citizens abroad must apply to the “e-Consul” portal, upload the necessary documents, and provide a sample power of attorney. The system will check the entered data and confirm processing. If errors are detected, the system will notify the applicant of the necessary corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the final stage, a notarized document will be generated, and the applicant will receive a notification of its readiness. After that, it is necessary to sign up for an electronic queue to sign and receive the document at the consulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The entire process takes place without the need for the applicant’s physical presence. All data and the prepared notarized document are stored in the system,” added Sibiga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
