From now the registration functions are carried out also by a notary

Keeping with the theme of substantial changes in the sphere of state registration of legal entities and private entrepreneurs, we should inform you that starting from December 21, 2015 there is an opportunity to apply to the notary with registration service issues.

   "A package of laws on the reform of business registration and registration of real estate came into force. 7000 notaries received the full scope of state registrar’s authority. This is 7000 offices across the country that are going to provide the registration services transparently, without corruption and comfortably to every Ukrainian "-stated the Justice Minister Pavlo Petrenko

In order to motivate notaries to perform the registration functions, reallocation of fees that citizens pay for registration services has been foreseen:

40% of the funds received from the registration services, provided by notaries will flow to the state budget, 60% of them - to notaries as payment for their services.

So, now Ukrainians have the opportunity to choose where to apply for registration services.

In addition, starting from January 1, 2016 registration services will be also provided by local authorities throughout Ukraine.

"I hope that from the 1^st of  January 2016, local governments and mayors of a city  will catch this initiative as well and will provide registration services at the same high level quality," - said Pavlo Petrenko.
