Registration of place of residence

Since 2003, in Ukraine, instead of a residence permit, registration of a place of residence has been introduced in accordance with Law № 1382-IV “About Freedom of Movement and Free Choice of Place of Residence in Ukraine” dated December 11, 2003. In everyday life Ukrainians continue to call registration a residence permit to this day. And this procedure is mandatory.

We also provide assistance in processing the renewal of the registration period.
