Transliteration of the Ukrainian alphabet in Latin

Transliteration is the process of transforming text and individual words that are written in one graphic system or writing system by means of another graphic system based on phonetic similarity. In other words, it is a transfer of one alphabetic writing system with the letters of another.

In connection with the introduction of electronic signature recognition between Ukraine and the countries of the European Union, there was a need to transliterate the Ukrainian alphabet into Latin in order to ensure the compatibility of international certificates of citizens of our country with information systems in the field of electronic trust services of the countries of the European Union. Thus, personal data contained in electronic signature certificates (in particular, in certificates issued according to the RSA and ECDSA algorithms), which are issued by qualified trust services providers in Ukraine, are inserted in Cyrillic symbols, while such symbols are absent in the languages of the countries of the European Union.

Thus, using the correspondence table below, you will be able to input correctly in Latin letters the names in the certificate fields, names, designations and other personal and related data, which are indicated in Cyrillic in the documents of citizens-signatories of our country in accordance with the requirements of the current legislation (CMU Resolution No. 55 of 01.27.2010 "On streamlining the transliteration of the Ukrainian alphabet in Latin"),
Also, for convenience, we are happy to provide an online service of an example of transliteration of Cyrillic names, geographic designations, etc. into Latin.
