The Better Regulation Delivery Office (BRDO), with the support of the USAID Justice for All Activity, has completed the final version of the comparative study of the digitalization of notary services. The document contains an analysis of international experience and best practices in the field, unique aspects of the Ukrainian notary system, and practical recommendations for its digital transformation.
Digitalization of the notary is relevant due to a number of challenges caused by martial law:
- Millions of Ukrainians living abroad have limited access to notarial services, as these services traditionally require personal presence.
- The small number of Ukrainian consulates and embassies cannot fully meet the growing demand for notarial services.
- The hostilities create a risk of losing archives, which may make it difficult to access data in the future.
- Threat of personal data leakage in the temporarily occupied territories.
The study by the BRDO offers practical recommendations for the implementation of digital notary services in Ukraine. It will allow millions of Ukrainians to access notarial services remotely, protect documents and personal data under martial law, reduce administrative barriers and make the notary system more accessible to citizens.
The final version of the study is available via the link.
This comparative study was made possible with the support of the American people provided through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under the Justice for All Activity.
