The cost of the service
The approximate cost of a driver's license consists of payment for the form and administrative service and amounts to 515 hryvnias. Logistics costs of the postal carrier abroad cost 960 UAH.
Important! You can also reissue a driver's license at the branches of the state enterprise "Document", but the cost of this service is significantly higher than ordering a document through the driver's electronic cabinet, and it also requires a larger package of documents, including a certificate of fitness to drive.
What else is required to drive a car with Ukrainian registration abroad?
First of all, when planning a trip or already being abroad in a car with Ukrainian registration, the driver must take care of obtaining a Green Card in advance - a car insurance policy that is mandatory in 50 countries, including the EU.
After all, if a driver does not have an insurance policy, or if it has expired for at least one day, he or she faces not only a serious fine, the amount of which is several times higher than the cost of an insurance policy issued for a year, but in some cases even the confiscation of the vehicle and deportation from the host country with a subsequent entry ban.
