Starting today, the Ministry of Internal Affairs' service centers have begun to issue new driver's licenses and vehicle registration certificates with enhanced anti-counterfeiting features.
According to the Cabinet of Ministers' resolution No. 1358, the documents now include new security elements:
- A QR code in the bottom right corner
- A marking element consisting of three letters and six digits
The QR code will link to the relevant electronic service available on the official website of the Main Service Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, allowing users to verify the information included in the certificate and to confirm its authenticity.
The old driver's licenses and registration certificates will remain valid until their expiration date, but can be replaced with the new versions beforehand if desired.
Currently, the penalty for using counterfeit driver's licenses in Ukraine is a fine of 50 non-taxable minimums or imprisonment for up to six months, or up to two years of restricted freedom, as per part 4 of Article 358 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
