Reregistration of real estate (apartments) in Ukraine from abroad

To re-register real estate (sale, gift, etc.) in Ukraine while abroad, several steps must be taken to ensure the legality and correctness of the procedure.

Step-by-step algorithm

Preparation of necessary documents

Collect all the necessary documents for real estate re-registration, including:

• Passport or other identity document.
• Identification code (registration number of the taxpayer’s account card).
• Documents confirming ownership of real estate (agreement of sale, certificate of ownership, extract from the register, etc.).

Issuance of a power of attorney

• If you cannot be personally present in Ukraine, you must issue a power of attorney for a representative who can act on your behalf.
• The power of attorney must be certified by a notary in the country of your stay and legalized or apostilled, depending on the requirements of the country and Ukraine.
• Translate the power of attorney into Ukrainian and notarize the translation.

Notary certificate

• Send the power of attorney together with other necessary documents to your representative in Ukraine.
• The representative must apply to a Ukrainian notary for notarization of the agreement.

Preparation of the agreement

• The representative, together with the notary, prepares an agreement on re-registration of real estate (for example, a contract of sale, gift, etc.).
• All documents must be issued in accordance with Ukrainian legislation.

Signing the agreement

• The representative signs the agreement on your behalf using a power of attorney.
• The notary certifies the agreement and registers it in the State Register of Real Property Rights.

Payment of taxes and fees

• The representative must pay all necessary taxes and fees related to real estate re-registration (state duty, personal income tax, etc.).

Registration of ownership

• The notary registers the right of ownership of real estate to the new owner in the State Register of Real Property Rights.

Obtaining an extract from the register

• The representative receives an extract from the State Register of Real Property Rights, which confirms the registration of ownership of the new owner.

Important notes

• Make sure that the power of attorney meets all the requirements of Ukrainian legislation and is recognized as valid on the territory of Ukraine.
• Work with qualified lawyers and notaries to avoid legal mistakes and ensure the legality of the procedure.
• Keep all copies of documents and receipts for payment of taxes and fees to prove compliance with all requirements.

These steps will help you re-register real estate in Ukraine while abroad, without the need for personal presence in the country.
