Ukraine has officially updated the regulatory framework for the verification and registration of Starlink terminals, according to the Diia government portal. These changes are designed to streamline the management of satellite internet services, which have become a cornerstone of the country’s communications infrastructure during the ongoing conflict.
For legal entities, registration must now be completed via the Diia portal. A significant adjustment involves the business maturity requirement: companies must now be registered in the Unified State Register (USR) for at least one year to qualify, a move intended to prevent fraudulent registrations. While most companies are limited to ten terminals, entities classified as critical infrastructure are exempt from these caps, ensuring they maintain necessary connectivity for vital operations.
Individual users and sole proprietors (FOPs) are now required to register their devices through administrative service centers (CNAPs). A key change requires the physical presentation of all terminals during registration, marking a shift toward stricter oversight compared to previous, more lenient procedures. This ensures that every device active in the country is officially accounted for. Furthermore, foreign nationals holding valid temporary or permanent residency permits are now explicitly included in the eligibility criteria.
The updated system also introduces better life-cycle management for devices. Organizations can now remove terminals from the registry directly through Diia—a necessary step for companies that sell, lose, or decommission their equipment. This functionality allows for better inventory control and frees up quota space for new units. Additionally, companies can now generate official extracts detailing all equipment registered under their name.
Accessibility has also been enhanced, with the government expanding the number of verification points. Beyond standard municipal service centers, users can now verify their terminals at Ukrposhta and Nova Poshta branches. By providing the KIT number and UTID, and presenting the terminal for physical inspection, users can ensure their equipment is added to the authorized “white list.” This regulatory update represents a shift toward higher standards of technological security, ensuring that Ukraine’s critical satellite infrastructure remains reliable and fully compliant with national requirements.
