The Ministry of Digital Affairs has updated the state service for verifying electronic signatures so that users can validate documents from Ukraine and EU countries in one window and immediately receive an official electronic report that has legal force.
According to the Ministry of Digital Affairs, the updated service automatically recognizes Ukrainian electronic signatures and electronic signatures from European Union countries. This simplifies the verification of contracts and documents from European partners for businesses, lawyers, and government agencies, which previously often had to additionally confirm the validity of the signature using paper procedures or separate technical tools.
The key update is not only the verification, but also the format of the result. After validation, the system generates an electronic report with the seal of the KNEDP Diya. The Ministry of Digital Affairs emphasizes that such a report has full legal force, so it can be added to company documents, submitted to state bodies, or used as confirmation in court cases. That is, instead of screenshots, printouts, and paper protocols, the user receives a full-fledged digital document.
The service works without registration. To verify, you need to go to the page https://id.gov.ua/verifyeu, upload a file with a signature and get the result along with an official report. Separately, the Ministry of Digital Affairs addressed developers and companies that have already integrated the previous version of the service: it was left available temporarily, but they recommend switching to the new version by June 1, 2026, after which the old one will no longer be supported.
The update of the signature verification service is part of the broader adaptation of the Ukrainian digital infrastructure to EU rules. The Ministry of Digital Affairs stated in a statement that the project is being implemented with the support of the European Union’s DT4UA initiative, which is being implemented by the Academy of Electronic Governance. For the market, this is a practical step towards faster cross-border document circulation without paper.
Previously, dev.ua wrote about how the Ministry of Digital Affairs is launching a nationwide screening of public services in 2026 to collect them into a single database, remove unnecessary procedures, and prepare a plan to move some services online.
