Agree the draft document with the consul remotely through the system.
Book a slot in the electronic queue of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a visit.
Come to the establishment in person, sign the document in the presence of the consul and receive the certified power of attorney — fully remote certification is not possible.

Through e-Notariat the following are available: powers of attorney (property and non-property, except contracts for the alienation/mortgage of real estate in Ukraine), wills, certification of the accuracy of copies, translations, the authenticity of a signature, the fact that a person is alive, etc.

Validity in Ukraine and registration

A power of attorney certified by a Ukrainian consul is valid in Ukraine without an apostille and legalization.
All notarially certified powers of attorney (both property and non-property) are subject to entry into the Unified Register of Powers of Attorney — it is precisely for this entry that the €18 for certifying the signature on the corresponding application is paid.
The term of the power of attorney is stated in the document itself. If no term is set, the power of attorney is valid until its termination (Art. 247 of the Civil Code of Ukraine). A power of attorney without a date of issue is void.
Transactions for the alienation of real estate (temporary martial-law rule). Under Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers No. 719 of 24.06.2022, a contract for the alienation of real estate under a power of attorney is concluded without additional confirmation if no more than two months have passed from the day of certifying the power of attorney to the day of signing the contract (for a power of attorney certified by a consular establishment or abroad) or one month (for a power of attorney certified by a notary). If this term has expired, the principal's statement confirming the validity of the power of attorney is required, the signature on which was certified no earlier than one month (consulate/abroad) or seven days (notary) before the conclusion of the contract. The rule applies during the period of martial law.
