A new digital service from the Kyiv City State Archives has gone live on the Kyiv Services Portal; residents can now submit requests for archival information remotely, according to Valentin Mondriivskyi, deputy head of the Kyiv City State Administration (KCSA).
“We are continuing to digitize city services to make them as accessible and convenient as possible for residents. From now on, you can submit a request to the Kyiv City State Archives, receive an invoice, pay for the service, and track the status of your request all in one place—on the Kyiv Services Portal,” noted Valentin Mondriyevsky.
The new service brings together all the key steps for interacting with the archives within the user’s personal account. With its help, users can request information about births, marriages, or deaths; confirm property rights; obtain information about the renaming of streets, institutions, and other locations; and submit a free-form request regarding documents stored in the Kyiv City State Archives.
According to the Kyiv City State Administration, the official website of the Kyiv City State Archives was also updated in conjunction with the launch of the service.
Individuals, sole proprietors, and legal entities can use the new service. “Submitting an application takes about 10 minutes. After reviewing it, archive specialists assess whether the request can be fulfilled and generate an invoice based on the complexity of the search work. The service is provided within one month,” the Kyiv City State Administration emphasizes.
According to Valentin Mondrievsky, the development of digital services remains one of the city’s priorities. “Online access to archival services is especially important for those who live outside Kyiv or abroad, as well as for those who are unable to visit the archive in person. At the same time, the option to receive the service in person at the Kyiv City State Archive remains available.”
