The Verkhovna Rada has registered a bill No. 5463, which will transfer online the change of registration place.
The explanatory note to the document says that at present the administrative service for registering a place of residence is one of the most popular among the entire list of services. At the same time, the registration procedure is archaic and complicated – in order to register a place of residence, it is necessary to collect three to five documents and approvals and come with them at the registration authority or to the administrative services center.
“With this law, we cancel the stamp in the passport and the extract from the ID-card about registration. There will no longer be a need to go to the Central Administrative Office or the military registration and enlistment offices. You just need to log in to the Diia application or on the portal and make a few clicks. We will also untie the registration from many life situations, where it is really not necessary. For example, the registration of pensions or receiving highly specialized medical care,” Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov says, quoted by the press service of the Ministry of Digital Transformation in a message on the agency’s website.
According to Fedorov, every third Ukrainian is not registered at their actual place of residence, but about one million people do not have a residence registration at all. The new bill will make the change of registration place declarative.
“On the Diia portal, you will only need to indicate the address where you actually live. Those who already have real estate will receive a residence registration in a day. To declare their place of residence in another place (for example, in the landlord’s apartment), you will need his consent, which he can also give online,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.
Fedorov said that after the adoption of the bill, the main task of officials will be not to extort a heap of certificates, but to check the place of residence in the online system.
“We are transferring the storage of this data from Ukrainians to an online system. It is absurd when the state demands from you a document that it itself owns. Ukrainians will no longer spend weeks of their time just to tell the state where they live,” he said.
