Establishing the fact of residence on the territory of Ukraine
Establishing the fact of residence in Ukraine may be relevant if a person wants to obtain Ukrainian citizenship. If you need advisory assistance or legal support for such processes, you can order the services of lawyers from the “Prikhodko & Partners” law firm. The area of migration law (both national and international) is our main focus of practice. So, you can get really high-quality and competent assistance. We suggest that you learn more about how the fact of residence in Ukraine is established.
What should you know about legal regulation?
It is possible to establish the fact of residence on the territory of Ukraine by applying to the court with the corresponding application, submitting it to the local court at the place of residence. To do this, it is necessary to provide irrefutable evidence that confirms such accommodation. Among such evidence may be:
- certificates from institutions and enterprises;
- extracts from registers;
- work books;
- extracts from medical books;
- other documents containing information about the fact and period of residence on the territory of Ukraine.
The more convincing evidence you have collected, the higher the chances that you will receive a positive court decision on the case of establishing the fact of residence in the territory of Ukraine.
How to confirm residence in Ukraine?
Permanent residence at the time of the proclamation of Independence of Ukraine (August 24, 1991) is the basis for registration of Ukrainian citizenship for citizens of the former USSR who at that time permanently resided in the territory of Ukraine.
Residence in Ukraine at the time of entry into force of the Law of Ukraine “On Citizenship of Ukraine” also allows persons who at that time resided in Ukraine and were not citizens of other states to be considered citizens of Ukraine.
Support for confirmation of residence in Ukraine
It often happens that a person knows the fact of his/her residence in Ukraine during the relevant periods, but has no evidence that could confirm this. Do not be upset in such a case. If you permanently resided in Ukraine during the specified period, most likely, there are documents in archival institutions that can confirm this fact.
Your migration lawyer can submit his/her request to such an institution to obtain the necessary archival certificates. The advantages of legal support in this story are mainly that:
- you can delegate complex legal actions to a specialist for whom they are familiar and routine;
- you get an understanding of what steps are necessary in the legal field, so you no longer need to independently search for a lot of information on this matter, selecting from it exactly those legal norms that are relevant to you;
- to obtain the necessary documents, the lawyer will send requests to archival institutions. A lawyer’s request is a very effective tool of influence in the legal plane. Such effectiveness is due to the fact that authorized specialists of institutions are required to provide answers to such requests in a fairly short time. In this regard, the support of a migration lawyer will greatly simplify the process of establishing the fact of residence in the territory of Ukraine and using this fact in the future acquisition of citizenship.
As can be seen from all of the above, the lack of documents on hand at the moment is not an obstacle to engaging in the process of establishing legal facts and initiating the procedure for obtaining Ukrainian citizenship.

It is important to know that citizenship is a political and legal connection with the state, which not only opens up new rights and opportunities, but also provides for certain obligations. In particular, when it comes to men of draft age who do not have the right to a deferment, this is the obligation to defend the state during martial law. It is also worth mentioning the obstacles in crossing the border. Therefore, in some cases, citizenship may be the best option, and in others, a permanent residence permit is sufficient, which opens up a fairly wide range of rights. We can say that this is a scope of rights close to those enjoyed by citizens of Ukraine, except for participation in the electoral process.
Consultation with a professional immigration lawyer who will carefully analyze your situation will give you the opportunity to weigh all the pros and cons and make a constructive decision. The specialist will carefully analyze your request and all the circumstances of your situation, after which he will offer the most optimal strategy.
