New reality: Ukraine already checks documents with artificial intelligence
20 August 2025 10:00
In the system “eDozvil” began to work a module of artificial intelligence for automatic verification of documents when issuing veterinary licenses. This was reported by the Ukrainian Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports.
According to the report, this is the first public service in Ukraine, which uses AI for preliminary processing of applications.
How the system works
The eDozvil platform processes applications submitted through the Diya portal. The AI module automatically checks whether the required data is available in the documents, identifies errors and inconsistencies. After that, state experts make a final decision on issuing a license.
According to ministry representatives, such automation reduces the number of refusals and speeds up the review of applications. Civil servants can focus on complex cases that require expert evaluation.
“We are building a state that does not just digitize papers, but changes the very logic of interaction with people. The AI module in licenses is an example of how technology can work to the benefit of the citizen by keeping data in-house.”
Mikhail Fedorov, First Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine

Technical peculiarities
All calculations take place within Ukraine without transferring data abroad. The developers used open source models, in particular Gemma from Google DeepMind, synthetic data for training and specially adapted algorithms.
The main development challenges included varying document quality, the presence of handwritten records, and limited computational resources in the country.
“This technology takes routine checks off the hands of government experts and gives them more time to focus on what really matters. For businesses, it means less bureaucracy and a faster start, and for government, it means higher quality solutions.”
Oleksiy Sobolev, Minister of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine
Project participants
The development was coordinated by:
- Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine;
- Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine; Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine;
- BRDO Office of Effective Regulation.
Technical support was provided by Google DeepMind. The project was funded by the European Union under the EU4DigitalUA initiative.
Development prospects
The launch of the AI module for veterinary licenses is seen as a pilot project. In case of successful operation, the technology is planned to be extended to other permit procedures and licensing in Ukraine.
