Check IDP registration eligibility, prepare residence evidence and choose how to apply.
This route describes the general procedure. Some steps depend on your circumstances and may involve different authorities. Check the current requirements for each service before applying.
Getting started
The certificate confirms internal displacement and registration. The process depends on the displacement circumstances, available documents and your actual location in Ukraine.
What to do
-
Check registration eligibility
Check the current rules for the territory and circumstances that caused displacement. Moving alone does not establish eligibility.
-
Choose Diia or an in-person application
Check availability in the Diia app. For an in-person application, confirm reception at a CNAP, social protection office or authorised community body where you are staying.
-
Prepare identity and residence evidence
If your document does not show the relevant previous address, gather other evidence of residence there. Prepare additional documents for children or representatives.
-
Apply and check the certificate
Give your actual current address and check the application details. Check the issued certificate; timing may differ if supporting evidence needs verification.
-
Handle later changes if needed
If applicableFor a lost paper certificate, check the duplicate procedure. Report address changes through the appropriate channel; voluntary cancellation is a separate procedure.
Document checklist
Tick the documents you have prepared. This is a general checklist: items marked “If applicable” are only needed in the relevant circumstances. Check the service requirements for the final document list. You do not need to upload documents to this website.
Things to consider
- An IDP certificate is issued free of charge. Financial assistance has separate eligibility rules; a certificate does not automatically award payments.
- An IDP certificate does not replace residence registration. Confirm the documents and online availability for your particular circumstances.
