Regarding registration of establishment of a separate subdivision of a legal entity established in accordance with the laws of a foreign state
Starting from September 3, 2024, the Law of Ukraine No. 3257-IX "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on the Regulation of Activities of Separate Subdivisions of a Legal Entity Formed in Accordance with the Law of a Foreign State" will come into force.
Therefore, the procedure for state registration of separate subdivisions will be carried out exclusively in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, Individual Entrepreneurs and Public Organizations (hereinafter - the Unified State Register) by applying to the authorized state registration entities.
These entities are executive bodies of village, town and city councils, Kyiv and Sevastopol city, district, and district administrations in the cities of Kyiv and Sevastopol, and notaries.
In order to carry out the relevant state registration, the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, by its Order No. 2518/5 dated August 26, 2024 "On Amendments to the Order of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine dated November 18, 2016 No. 3268/5", approved a new application for state registration of a separate subdivision of a legal entity established in accordance with the laws of a foreign state (Form 11), which is available on the website of the Ministry of Justice in Excel and PDF formats by the link.
After the state registration of the establishment of a separate subdivision of a legal entity established in accordance with the laws of a foreign country, it will no longer be necessary to apply to the state statistics authorities for an identification code in the Unified State Register of Enterprises and Organizations of Ukraine.
As for the existing separate subdivisions of legal entities established in accordance with the laws of foreign countries, the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine will transfer the information on existing branches and representative offices registered (accredited) before September 3, 2024 to the Unified State Register. This process will take some time.
At the same time, we emphasize that if a separate subdivision needs to receive a certain public service, including in case of necessity to make changes to the information about such subdivision, but the information about which has not yet been transferred to the Unified State Register, the relevant separate subdivision may apply to the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine with an application (Form 11) for transferring information about it to the Unified State Register.
Such an application may be submitted in person by a representative of the separate subdivision before or by sending it by mail with a notarized authentication of the applicant's signature. Such transfer does not require submission of any additional documents and payment of an administrative fee. The transfer of information about the separate subdivision to the Unified State Register will be notified to the e-mail address specified in the application.
