Minister of Foreign Affairs Andriy Sybiga announced a significant simplification of access to consular services for Ukrainians abroad in 2025. This will be possible thanks to the introduction of the "e-Consul" system. About this reported the the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In particular, we are talking about the plans of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to launch automated notary services in all Ukrainian diplomatic missions abroad.
"This means that in e-Consul you will be able to select the type of power of attorney or application you need, add information if necessary, and during your visit to the consul, a document ready for signing will be waiting for you. Saving time and effort," Sibiga noted.
Also, within six months, new digital services will be launched in the e-Consul system, which will concern the most popular services. In February, courier delivery of international passports at an affordable price will be introduced in several countries in cooperation with Nova Poshta.
"You will no longer need to visit the diplomatic mission twice, look for a free slot in the e-Queue, and spend time and money on a second visit to receive a ready-made passport. We filled in the necessary data in advance on the "Diya" portal, arrived in person once to submit biometrics, and after processing, we received a ready-made passport by mail," — the minister emphasized.
Also, in the spring, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs plans to start issuing driver's licenses abroad. And in the second half of 2025, a comprehensive service for registering the birth of a child abroad should be launched.
It will include:
- state registration of birth;
- acquisition of Ukrainian citizenship by birth;
- registration in the State Register of Individuals - Taxpayers;
- entering the child into the Unified State Demographic Register.
