Residence registration for foreigners in Ukraine
Registration of a foreigner’s place of residence in Ukraine is a mandatory procedure for those who have a temporary or permanent residence permit. The law requires registering the address of residence within 30 calendar days after receiving the permit. Without registration, a foreigner will not be able to extend the permit, work officially, receive government services or run a business.
Foreigner registration in Ukraine
The registration procedure involves applying to the Center for Administrative Services (CASA) or local authorities. You must submit an application, passport, permit, housing documents or owner’s permit. Based on these documents, a foreigner is issued a registration certificate and a corresponding note is made in the residence permit. Registration is available only at one official address.
How to register a foreigner at the place of residence
A foreigner or his representative (with a notarized power of attorney) submits:
- a standard application,
- a passport with a certificate,
- a lease agreement, a document of ownership or a notarized consent of the owner,
- confirmation of payment of the state duty.
In most cases, registration takes place within 1–3 business days if the package of documents is submitted completely and correctly.
Documents required for registration of a foreigner
Among the main documents:
- a passport with a translation into Ukrainian (notarized),
- a residence permit (temporary or permanent),
- a lease agreement or an extract from the property register,
- a written consent of the owner of the housing (if necessary),
- a receipt for payment of the administrative fee,
- a power of attorney if the registration is submitted by a representative.

Legal assistance is required for the preparation of documents, translations, notarization and submission of the application.
Fines for the absence of a foreigner's residence permit
If a foreigner has not registered his place of residence within 30 days or the owner of the home has not submitted documents, the law provides for fines from UAH 1,700 to UAH 5,100. In case of a systematic violation, the permit may be canceled or the extension of legal status may be prohibited. Registration of residence on time reduces risks and allows you to avoid administrative penalties.
