Thus, starting from July 15, a total of 48 institutions in 31 countries of Europe, North America, Asia and Oceania, as well as Africa and the Middle East will have access to this register.
The Ministry explained that access to the State Register of Civil Status Acts means that Ukrainian citizens will be able to obtain repeat certificates issued by the civil registry offices in Ukraine (birth, death, change of name, marriage, divorce); extracts from the Register on the registration of an act (birth, death, change of name, marriage, divorce). From now on, additional foreign diplomatic missions will provide such services and carry out other work in the area of state registration of civil status acts using the means of the Register.
The MFA is working to ensure that consular services for our citizens abroad are as accessible as possible, and their list is constantly expanding. We are currently implementing the largest single-scale expansion of the geographical access to the State Register of Civil Status Acts. This creates new opportunities for Ukrainian citizens residing in these twenty countries and demonstrates to them the care of the Ukrainian state,
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will continue to work on simplifying access to consular services abroad and connecting all foreign diplomatic missions to the register by the first half of next year.
