On December 19, the Russian hackers cyberattack led to a temporary stop of state registers. Lawyers told focus whether citizens will be able to register, divorce or birth of children. Since state registers, including a register of acts of civil status of citizens, do not work in Ukraine as a result of cyberattacks, it will virtually impossible to obtain certain extracts or register a marriage, divorce or birth of a child for ordinary citizens of Ukraine within the country and abroad.

However, perhaps the state will temporarily introduce certain paper procedures in the near future, although there is a high probability that there will be no registration before opening access to the registers. "Of course, temporary problems with the work of registers will have an impact on ordinary life, as most significant notarial acts require access to the register to verify a notary or registrar.

Some actions, for example, certification of a copy of the document or translation may be carried out by a notary in paper form. , registration of civil status acts, such as the birth of a child, can be carried out with the help of paper carriers, but will accurately take more time to obtain paper documents, " - comments Alexei Volokhov's lawyer, partner Sla Attorneys.

The state registration bodies of civil status acts issue relevant certificates on state registration of civil status acts," - says the lawyer. Lawyers also see the right to stop the risks for recipients of subsidies and payments, especially when it comes to new applications for subsidies or social assistance or payments.
