No queues and trips to government agencies: from now on, you can change your place of residence in 10 minutes

In Diia, one of the most long-awaited services is being reintroduced - now you can change your place of residence through the app and portal. Currently, the service is available for women, children, and men of non-military age.

"Changing the place of residence is one of the most demanded services in Diia. We have improved the service, removed the human factor, and automated the processes. Ukrainians will be able to quickly and conveniently change their place of residence on their smartphones. Without queues, paperwork, and visits to local government offices," said Vice Prime Minister for Innovation, Education, Science, and Technology Development - Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov.

Previously, to change your place of residence, you had to collect documents, visit local government offices, or relevant institutions at your place of registration. First, to make an appointment for a specific time, then to change your place of registration, and after that, you needed an additional visit to obtain a residence certificate. The entire process took several days.

With the Diia service, you don't need to go through these steps, saving you a significant amount of time. Moreover, you can change your place of residence from anywhere in the world. Now, for Ukrainians registering in their own home or in the home of a sole owner, the place of residence will be automatically updated. This will expedite the process of obtaining the service and save you time.

To change your place of residence in the Diia app, you must be at least 14 years old or 18 if you are changing the residence of a child. You also need to have a taxpayer identification number (TIN) and either an ID card or a foreign passport in Diia. Passport book holders can use the service on the Diia portal.
