You can now easily order a paper extract of your criminal record with an apostille by using the online service «Unified Window for Citizens» or the «Diia» mobile app.

This was announced by the Minister of Internal Affairs Igor Klymenko in his Telegram channel.

"Just yesterday, this service could only be obtained in person, but now you can order it with just a few clicks. The extract confirming your criminal record status, including the apostille option, is being prepared for you," he said.

To obtain the certificate, you need to log in to the «Unified Window for Citizens» or the «Diia» app, fill out the electronic form, select «paper extract», and choose a convenient delivery method: at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the nearest Ukrposhta office, or via courier.

On the «Unified Window for Citizens» website, you can order the criminal record extract either with or without an apostille.

The processing time for the extract is up to 30 days, and if an apostille is required, it may take an additional 5 days. You can track the entire process online.

Klymenko noted that this is one of the most popular services provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs: this year alone, Ukrainians have ordered over 44,000 paper extracts, of which more than 33,500 include an apostille.

The press service of «Diia» added that the service is available to users aged 14 and older who are authorized in «Diia», have a tax number, and an ID card (biometric passport or residence permit).
