Child support arrears can have serious consequences for the debtor, including financial penalties, restrictions on rights, and even criminal liability. It also affects the ability to travel abroad, obtain a driver’s license, and dispose of property.
You can find out whether you have any child support arrears in Ukraine online using the following resources:
1. Through the Unified Register of Debtors, website: erb.minjust.gov.ua/#/search-debtors, this can be done online, free of charge.
To do this, you need to go to the website of the Unified Register of Debtors, which is the official database of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine containing information about persons who have arrears in alimony payments. To do this, the debtor must enter their surname, first name, and patronymic, as well as their date of birth on the website, which will allow the debtor to be accurately identified. If a person has child support arrears, they will be listed in this register.
2. Through the Diia portal (online), website: id.diia.gov.ua, you can open enforcement proceedings to collect child support arrears.
To do this, you need to install the app on your phone, and the debtor must be authorized in the “Dія” system via Banking or via a qualified electronic signature (QES).
You can find out about alimony arrears online in the “Dія” system in the “Servers” section under the link “Enforcement proceedings.”
3. Through the online enforcement proceedings office at: asvpweb.minjust.gov.ua/#/search-debtors by entering the ID (login and password) specified in the decision to open enforcement proceedings.
Log in via the link “Access of parties to enforcement proceedings” by entering the registration number of the enforcement proceedings in the automated enforcement proceedings system and the access identifier specified in the decision to open enforcement proceedings. The search results will show the amount of debt and information about debts to state/private enforcement agents and the measures taken by the enforcement agent (seizures).
Please note that the amount of debt may differ from the actual amount. To verify this, you need to check with the state/private enforcement officer in charge of the enforcement proceedings.
To clarify the information, the person may contact the State Enforcement Service or a private enforcement agent in person or through the electronic office of enforcement proceedings, submitting a request for information on the amount of arrears in alimony or providing supporting documents confirming the payment of alimony.
4. Through the chatbot or the Open Data Bot service at opendatabot.ua/registry, download the bot in Telegram or Viber and enter your last name, first name, and patronymic, date of birth (you can also use your taxpayer identification number in the mobile app). The bot will show whether the person is listed in the register of alimony debtors. You can obtain this information online via your phone by downloading this chatbot.
Please note that the information received will not include the amount of debt, but only the presence or absence of the debtor in the register of alimony debtors.
For more detailed information about the amount of alimony arrears, if you do not have an identifier, you can submit a corresponding application (letter) by post or email to the enforcement service (private enforcement agent) handling the enforcement proceedings for obtaining the specified information.
The debtor and/or the claimant may also apply through their representative (family lawyer) with a lawyer’s request to the enforcement service or private enforcement agent to obtain information (certificate) about the amount of arrears in alimony payments or the absence thereof.
Please note that the certificate received regarding the amount of arrears in alimony payments is valid for 30 days from the date of its issuance.
