The national postal operator "Ukrposhta" joined the updated state service "Marriage Online 2.0" and will ensure international delivery of marriage certificates for Ukrainian citizens who are abroad.
This was reported by Delo.ua, citing a statement by the company's chief executive officer, Ihor Smilyanskyi.
The joint initiative of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, and the appointed postal operator will allow obtaining an original document without having to return to Ukraine.
Phases of expansion and delivery geography
The project is being implemented as a pilot with gradual expansion of the service network:
Scaling: the geography of international delivery will be expanded in three stages — to 48 countries in Europe and worldwide;
Pilot start: the first destination country will be opened in September 2026, after which lists of next destinations, exact timelines, and delivery costs will be published;
Exceptions: delivery of certificates will not be carried out to Russia and Belarus.
Development of the service "Marriage Online"
The state service "Marriage Online" has been operating in Ukraine for two years. According to the company, in 2026 year 40% of all marriages in the country were registered electronically. Thanks to engaging international logistics, the full cycle—from submitting the application and conducting the video ceremony to receiving the official document—becomes fully remote.
The implementation of version 2.0 is being developed by the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Digital Transformation, State Enterprise "Diia", State Enterprise "National Information Systems", and the Civil Registry Offices Digital Offices with support from the Swiss-Ukrainian EGAP Program, carried out by the East Europe Foundation.
As a reminder, it was previously reported that "Ukrposhta" created an air security service. The new division will monitor international shipments and detect prohibited and dangerous items.
