Ukrposhta prepares an unexpected service for Ukrainians abroad: what will change from 1 September

Ukrposhta will join the updated state service "Online marriage 2.0". The company will deliver marriage certificates to Ukrainians who married remotely through the Diia app, abroad.

When the certificate delivery will start

The new option will operate as part of the service update "Online marriage 2.0", said the company's CEO Ihor Smilyanskyi.

According to him, Ukrposhta, Diia, the Ministry of Digital Transformation, and the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine joined the new format. This concerns delivery of marriage certificates outside Ukraine.

The first country to which we will start delivering marriage certificates already in September will remain a surprise for now,

– noted the CEO.

How the new service will work

After an online wedding ceremony through the Diia app, Ukrposhta will handle the delivery of paper marriage certificates. Thus, Ukrainians will not have to return to Ukraine just to obtain the document.

The company noted that the "Online marriage" service has been operating in Ukraine for two years: in 2026 year 40% of all marriages in the country were registered electronically. After the launch of international delivery, the entire process—from filing the application to receiving the certificate—can be completed remotely:

file an application;

conduct a video ceremony;

officially register the marriage;

receive the certificate abroad.

Ukrposhta will deliver documents to 48 countries

In the first stage, the service will cover 48 countries in Europe and around the world. According to Smilyanskyi, this is about a quarter of all countries in the world. At the same time, he noted that delivery will not be made to Russia and Belarus.

After launching the first international direction in September, Ukrposhta plans to gradually expand the service geography. In total, three stages are envisaged, after which delivery should cover all 48 declared countries.

We will publish information about the list of destinations, timelines, and delivery costs as each of them is launched,

– added the head of the company.

Recall that thanks to digital services, the marriage registration procedure has become fully online and does not require personal presence at the civil acts registration office.

For defenders of Ukraine, priority access to the service is provided. They undergo identification through the "Army Plus" app, receive quick access to the service in Diia, and can choose special priority time slots for registration.
