Online marriage: the government expanded the capabilities of the service in Diia

The Cabinet of Ministers adopted a resolution expanding the capabilities of the experimental project for concluding marriage in electronic form with the help of Diia, according to a report by Glavkom citing the Ministry of Justice.

The document provides for:

expansion of the circle of persons who can use the Online Marriage service. The service will also be available to Ukrainian citizens whose prior marriage ended due to the death of one of the spouses;

implementation of accessibility mechanisms for people with hearing and/or speech impairments, which will allow them to use the service independently (by marking the corresponding checkbox when submitting the application, and a sign language interpreter will join the video conference);

introduction of international delivery of the state marriage registration certificate to 48 countries around the world in stages. This will simplify obtaining the supporting paper for Ukrainians and will facilitate the exercise of their rights when receiving administrative, social, and other services, including abroad.

“All new capabilities will be implemented in stages through the end of 2026 year. In particular, international delivery of certificates will begin with neighboring states and, subsequently, be expanded to European countries and the United States,” the report says.

As a reminder, in the first half of 2026 year Ukraine registered 79 516 marriages, which is 16% more than in the same period last year. At the same time, nearly 40% of newlyweds took the opportunity to conclude a marriage online.
