Since the beginning of the full-scale notary campaign, the number of notaries has increased in relatively safe regions of the country: by 5% in Cherkasy and Kyiv regions, by 2% in Rivne and Vinnytsia regions. The only region where the number of notaries has not changed is Ternopil region: 132 specialists work there, as it was before the full-scale operation.

The majority of Ukrainian notaries are engaged in private practice - 88% or 5,139 of them. Another 12%, or 687 professionals nationwide, work in state notary offices and only 0.3% work in state notary archives.

The vast majority of Ukrainian notaries are women: 82% or 4,804 professionals. It should be noted that, unlike in many other areas, the full-scale war did not have much of an impact on the gender advantage in the notary profession: in 2021, 81% of notaries were women.
