Reporting a crime: basic information
Under the conditions of war, the situation in the field of crimes has undergone significant changes. The overall picture has improved, because the number of criminal offenses for the period from January to June 2022 is less than 30 thousand than in the same period last year.

Our specialists have received a lot of questions regarding the procedure for submitting an application for a crime and the procedure for compiling the application itself. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the answers to the main questions of registration of criminal offenses.
If it is necessary to draw up an individual statement on the commission of a criminal offense, we recommend using the Consultant legal services service to order a turnkey document.
When do you need to file a crime report?
It is important to report a criminal offence, crime or misdemeanor as soon as possible after it has been committed. This will allow you to properly establish the circumstances of the offense, collect the evidence base.
An application for a criminal offense can be drawn up directly at the prosecutor's office or you can send an application by registered mail. Our experts recommend using the first option and submitting an application in person.
In case of applying in person, we recommend that you apply with two copies of the application. One of them remains and is registered with the prosecutor's office, when it is necessary to put a stamp and the date of acceptance of the application on the other. This will allow you to track the status of the application in the future.
If an application is submitted by registered mail, the shipment can be tracked using Ukrposhta tracking, and after delivery, call the prosecutor's office and find out if the application has been received, whether it has been registered, and find out the case number.
Our experts recommend that you first obtain professional advice from lawyers in the field of criminal procedure in order to formulate a statement of a criminal offense in the best way to achieve the desired result.
