Ukraine is the first in Europe to implement digital driver's licenses: how to obtain them

According to hvylya.net: Ukrainian drivers have been informed on how to obtain a driver's license online. According to 'Hvylya', this was announced by the Main Service Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Ukraine has become the first country in Europe where a driver's license can be stored in a digital format on a smartphone. You can renew or restore the document in just a few clicks through the Diya application.

In what cases is this necessary:

• the document has expired;
• your personal data has changed;
• the document has been lost, damaged, or stolen;
• you want to obtain a modern digital license.

How it works:

• Open Diya - Services - Driver's license replacement;
• Select the reason and type (electronic / plastic + electronic);
• Specify the service center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (if a physical document is needed);
• Sign the application and pay online.

You can obtain a driver's license at the service center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or order delivery to your address. 

'Help us reduce the workload - use online services', - the Ministry of Internal Affairs urged.

Earlier in Ukraine, a new fraudulent scheme to deceive drivers was uncovered. 

Obtaining a driver's license online is becoming an increasingly popular way for Ukrainian drivers to update or restore their documents. This convenient service allows storing the license in a digital format on a smartphone, simplifying the process, reducing the burden on service centers, and ensuring quick receipt of the required document.
