Govt approves project on electronic residence permits – Shmyhal

KYIV. Nov 15 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has approved a pilot project on electronic residence permits, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said on Sunday.

"Now these documents will be available to foreigners in Diia as an analogue of a regular passport. This will allow people who are legally in Ukraine to also use public services online," Shmyhal wrote on Facebook.

He said that this week the government also launched an experimental project that allows Ukrainians with a passport in the form of a "booklet" to change the address of registration of their place of residence online, which is provided for by bill No. 5463 on the implementation of public electronic services for registration and declaration place of residence in Ukraine, which was passed in parliament at the final reading.

"It is enough to fill out an application on the Diia portal, and the information will be automatically updated. Previously, such a service was available to ID-card holders. Starting from December, the regions will begin to gradually switch to electronic change of registration," the prime minister said.

As reported, on November 5, the Verkhovna Rada introduced electronic registration of place of residence for Ukrainians.
