The following notarial acts are currently available
- notarization of wills and powers of attorney;
- issuance of duplicates of notarial documents kept in the notary’s files;

As a reminder, on December 19, 2024, Ukraine suffered one of the largest external attacks that affected state registries. The hackers paralyzed dozens of key systems, which led to the suspension of important services and jeopardized the safety of critical data.
According to the SBU, according to the main version of the investigation, the special services of the aggressor country, Russia, are behind the large-scale cyberattack on Ukraine’s state registries. In particular, it could have been carried out by hackers affiliated with the hostile intelligence service of the Russian GRU.
