Turnkey support in obtaining a licence for precursors: documents, personnel, premises, security, National Police permit and submission to the State Service of Ukraine on Medicines and Drugs.
In 2026, obtaining a licence for precursors requires verification that the business complies with the staffing, organisational, and material and technical requirements of the State Service of Ukraine on Medicines and Drugs and the National Police of Ukraine.
The lawyers of Prikhodko & Partners have practical experience in supporting the licensing of activities involving controlled substances for medical centres, veterinary clinics, laboratories and enterprises. We identify weaknesses in documents and business preparation in advance to reduce the risk of documents being returned or a licence being refused.
We begin our support by reviewing your case: premises, security system, personnel and documents. We help obtain the National Police permit, prepare information on material and technical resources, personnel documentation and the complete package for submission to the State Service of Ukraine on Medicines and Drugs.
A licence is required for business entities that use, store, purchase or carry out other operations involving narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances or precursors in the course of their activities.
The type of business is not the only relevant factor. It is necessary to determine:
Not sure whether you need a licence? Our lawyers can review the specific substance and the enterprise’s activities and determine which permits need to be obtained.
The actual timeframe depends on the readiness of the premises, availability of the National Police permit, personnel documentation and other initial conditions. The cost of legal support depends on the number of facilities, personnel and the complexity of the specific case.
Before submitting documents to the State Service of Ukraine on Medicines and Drugs, it is necessary to verify not only the document package itself but also the enterprise’s actual readiness to work with controlled substances.
Specific requirements depend on the substances, operations and format of the enterprise’s activities. Therefore, before preparing the application, we recommend conducting a licensing readiness audit.
The document package is prepared depending on the type of activity and the specific characteristics of the enterprise.
The main package may include:
Important: errors in information concerning the premises, personnel or material and technical resources may result in refusal or the need to resubmit the documents.
Most problems can be identified before documents are submitted. Typical reasons for refusal or delays include:
Our approach: first verify the business’s readiness and eliminate potential problems, and only then submit documents to the licensing authority.
