Legal status of the electronic veteran's ID

22.04.2026 20:35 • Question

I saw that it is now possible to obtain an e-veteran's ID in the Diia app without a paper document, immediately after entering data into the register. Tell me, will this electronic ID have the same legal force as a regular paper one, for example, for receiving benefits or presenting it in state institutions? Can they require me to provide the paper version?

The electronic veteran's ID (e-ID) in Ukraine is an official digital document that has the same legal force as its paper counterpart. It is automatically generated in the Diia application based on data from the Unified State Register of War Veterans.
