The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has implemented some measures to digitalize red tape procedures and circulation of documents, according to a posting on the website of the government. “Online, it will also be possible to recover lost or stolen driver’s licenses using the online procedure. Soon they can be ordered through the driver’s electronic account or through the unified public administrative services portal. The new rules so far relate to the licenses issued after January 1, 2013,” the government said.
In particular, the Cabinet of Ministers approved a bill that will simplify the receipt of free legal assistance for low-income citizens. It would be possible to apply without a certificate of income. Getting this help takes a lot of time and will require a lot of effort from people. The bill will soon be submitted to the Verkhovna Rada.
The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine introduced the compensation of postal costs in court cases for low-income citizens by its decision.
“It allows lawyers to reimburse postal expenses in cases where they provide free legal assistance to low-income and socially unprotected groups of the population. In particular, the state will reimburse the cost of sending registered letters in appeal proceedings that were previously paid by citizens themselves. This will improve the quality of assistance to people who cannot pay for it,” the government said.
