Get an international driving permit in Ukraine based on a valid national licence. Check documents, 2026 cost, validity, MVS filing and when you need one abroad.
Exchange a foreign driving licence for a Ukrainian licence at an MVS Service Center. Check residence rules, documents, exams, 2026 costs and treaty exceptions.
Deregister an unusable, destroyed or worn-out vehicle in Ukraine through whole-vehicle write-off. Check documents, cost, processing time and restrictions.
Exchange your first Ukrainian driving licence after its two-year validity ends. Check when exams are required, documents, cost, online options and wartime rules.
A lost or stolen Ukrainian driver's licence can be replaced at an MVS service center or, when the licence and driver photo are available in the electronic registers, online through the Driver's Cabinet or Diia. A lost licence must be reported to an MVS service center, while a stolen licence must be reported to the National Police.
After buying a used car in Ukraine, re-register it in your name within 10 days. You can complete an ordinary ownership transfer at any MIA service centre, and eligible private buyers and sellers can complete qualifying car sales entirely through the Diia app.
Exchange your Ukrainian driver's licence after changing your surname, first name, patronymic or other qualifying personal data. Check the 10-day deadline, documents, current fee, online Driver's Cabinet route and MIA service-centre procedure.
A lost or stolen Ukrainian vehicle registration certificate is replaced through vehicle re-registration. In 2026, individual owners can use Diia or the Driver's Cabinet when the required digital records are available, or apply at an MVS service center. A police certificate is required if the registration certificate was stolen.
