Registration or deregistration of the place of residence (registration)

Registration in Ukraine is mandatory for both foreigners and Ukrainians. Living without registration is an offense and entails a fine of UAH 510 (the fine depends on the length of stay without registration). Our professional team offers both legal support when submitting documents for registration of residence, and help in finding an address for registration if you do not have a home. What is registration in Ukraine

Registration is a mechanism that allows the state to monitor population migration. This institute was formed during the time of the Russian Empire, but it was revived in the Soviet Union, during the era of Stalinism. At that time, registration was mainly a method of control that tied people to a certain place.

Registration rules in Ukraine

Registration is a mandatory procedure. By law, from the moment you leave one place of registration, or come to Ukraine for permanent or temporary residence, you will have thirty calendar days to register at a new place. If you do not meet this deadline, you will receive a warning. If you fail to register on time again during the year, you will be charged a fine in the amount of <15 to 51 hryvnias.
After you register, you will be marked in your passport or residence permit. You will also be issued a certificate and your data will be entered into the state register. Information about your registration will be stored in a special place, where no one except employees of the relevant authorities will have access to it. If you change your place of residence within Ukraine, you can immediately cancel your old registration. Now you don't need to do these steps separately. If you do not have documents confirming your right to live in the specified premises, you can be registered only with the consent of all the owners of the premises.

How to apply for a residence permit in Kharkiv

In order to register in Kharkiv, you will need to contact the registration authority or the administration of your district. There you will need to write a statement. Its sample can be found online or requested locally.

Necessary documents:

● Document certifying your identity (passport, temporary or permanent form and Birth Certificate (for children under 16 years of age).
● Receipt that you have paid the administrative fee.

● Military ID or registration certificate (for conscripts).

What is the difference between registration and declaration of residence?

Declaring the place of residence is done online by submitting an application in the Diya mobile application. Registration of the place of residence requires a personal visit to the Center for the provision of administrative services to submit an application. You need to contact the TSOAU, which serves the settlement where the housing where you want to register is located.
The result of both the declaration and the registration is the entry of information about the place of residence into the relevant register of the territorial community. That is, the difference is only in how you will inform the state about your place of residence - online or offline. A similar principle applies to removal from the declared/registered place of residence.
