Ukrainian tax number (RNOKPP) from the USA: e-Consul, the $40 paper filing and children

Tax number (RNOKPP)
A Ukrainian taxpayer number (RNOKPP) can be requested from the U.S. online in e-Consul, free of charge, and the taxpayer card comes in electronic form. Filing on paper at an office costs $40.

Checked against the official pages on 22 October 2026. How we check.

Any Ukrainian citizen aged 14 or over who is abroad and holds a valid internal passport, ID card or passport for travel abroad can apply (Embassy page, in Ukrainian).

The number matters in practice: with it, a new Ukrainian passport shows up in the Diia app (Embassy passport page, in Ukrainian), and powers of attorney ask for copies of the taxpayer card.

Online, through e-Consul

Log in to e-Consul with a qualified electronic signature, BankID or Diia.Signature and choose the service for registration in the State Register of individual taxpayers with an electronic taxpayer card. Fill out the application, upload scans of your documents and sign with your electronic signature.

The taxpayer number from the U.S.

When the State Tax Service answers, the card or a refusal appears in your e-Consul account (Embassy page, in Ukrainian).

Filing it yourself online costs nothing (New York page, in Ukrainian).

On paper, at an office

The Embassy takes paper applications without a booking, on Wednesday and Friday mornings, and only from residents of its district (Embassy page, in Ukrainian).

New York takes them by appointment arranged by email (New York page, in Ukrainian).

The consul fills out the application, scans your documents and gives you the form to check and sign; it then goes to the State Tax Service, and the card or the answer reaches your email within three working days of the tax service’s reply.

Route Cost Who can use it
e-Consul, by yourself Free Anyone with a digital signature
Paper at the Embassy $40 Residents of the Embassy’s district, walk-in
Paper in New York $40 By appointment arranged by email

The $40 is the consular fee for automated data processing (New York page, in Ukrainian).

The documents

  • proof of identity: a valid internal passport or ID card, or else a valid passport for travel abroad;
  • proof of date and place of birth: the birth certificate, plus documents for any change of name;
  • proof of your declared residence: an extract from the register of your Ukrainian community, or a U.S. residence permit or document with your U.S. address.

The list is the Embassy’s (Embassy page, in Ukrainian).

For a child under 18

A parent applies as legal representative on the strength of the birth certificate, online in e-Consul or on paper; a representative with a power of attorney or a guardian can too (Embassy page, in Ukrainian).

Your passport carries a refusal mark

If your internal passport or ID card has a mark refusing the number, put in after 1 January 2011, e-Consul cannot provide the service (Embassy page, in Ukrainian).

You already have a number and your data changed

The Embassy says e-Consul will soon accept requests to change register data, and that it will announce it on its page (Embassy page, in Ukrainian).
