Case: Successfully registered an LLC-owned vehicle with the TCC
A limited liability company (LLC) that had purchased a new passenger car contacted Prikhodko & Partners Law Firm for legal assistance. The company planned to register the vehicle at a service center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA). However, before doing so, it was necessary to complete the vehicle’s military registration with the Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Center (TCC and SSC) and obtain the relevant certificate.
Many company directors only become aware of this requirement when an MIA service center refuses to register their vehicle. Military transport duty applies to enterprises, institutions, and organizations regardless of their form of ownership. If a vehicle belongs to an LLC, it must be registered with the military authorities.
What Did We Discover During the Analysis of the Client’s Situation?
Yelyzaveta Hretskykh, a military law attorney at Prikhodko & Partners, reviewed the vehicle documents and the company’s incorporation documents. Since the vehicle belonged to the enterprise, it was subject to the requirements of the Regulation on Military Transport Duty. The company fell within the jurisdiction of the Shevchenkivskyi District Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Center in Kyiv, so the application had to be submitted to that particular authority.
The head of the enterprise is responsible for fulfilling military transport obligations. However, this does not mean that the director must personally visit the TCC. An attorney can represent the company’s interests without requiring the presence of any of its employees.
The legal assistance consisted of two stages:
- Preparation of documents and authorization. The attorney prepared the necessary package of documents and information about the vehicle, as well as formalized her authority to represent the company before the TCC and SSC.
- Submission of documents and legal representation at the TCC and SSC. The documents were submitted to the Shevchenkivskyi District TCC and SSC in Kyiv. The attorney handled the procedure until the certificate was issued. Neither the director nor any other company employees had to visit the TCC.
Result for the Client
On October 15, 2026, the Shevchenkivskyi District TCC and SSC in Kyiv issued a certificate confirming that the vehicle had been registered with the military authorities as part of the military transport duty.
With this certificate, the company was able to register the vehicle at an MIA service center. The enterprise complied with the legal requirements and avoided the risk of a fine under Article 210-1 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses: during a special period, the fine for company officials may reach UAH 59,500. The client was satisfied with the outcome.
This case demonstrates that military registration of a company-owned vehicle is a mandatory step before its registration with the MIA. By entrusting the procedure to an attorney, the company director saves valuable time, while the enterprise obtains the necessary certificate without a single visit to the TCC.
Remember: the company’s obligations do not end here. Information about vehicles must be submitted to the TCC and SSC twice a year (by June 20 and December 20). The TCC must also be notified within 7 days of the sale of a vehicle, its transfer under a rental or leasing agreement, or other changes specified in the Regulation.
