DECLARATION OF RESIDENCE

This issue is important - especially for foreigners who legally reside in Ukraine. It does not matter whether it is permanent or temporary residence. There is an established order that must be followed. Let's talk about it in more detail, and also mention the legal acts that regulate this issue.

Registration/declaration of residence: differences

In November 2021, the Law entitled "On the provision of public (electronic public) services regarding the declaration and registration of the place of residence in Ukraine" entered into force. It specifies a number of important provisions that foreigners who are legally staying in Ukraine should pay particular attention to.

First of all, the concepts of residence and stay should be distinguished. Residence refers to citizens of Ukraine, foreigners and stateless persons who temporarily or permanently live in our country, given one of the many legal grounds provided for in the legislation. And the registration of the place of stay is provided for those foreigners and stateless persons who applied to Ukraine for protection and received an appropriate certificate in this regard.

Legal features of declaring the place of residence

To declare a person's place of residence, it is necessary to submit information in electronic form so that they enter the Unified State Web Portal of electronic services for the declaration of place of residence. These can be such types of housing as:

• Private. This housing must be in the relevant State Register.
• Hostel. We are talking about housing that is not privately owned. This requires the consent of the person who manages the hostel.

Regarding the registration of the place of residence or stay, there is a completely different mechanism. A person submits an application to the registry of the territorial community. Such an application is submitted in paper form. At the same time, housing can belong to any form of ownership.
