The law on introducing online registration of place of residence, +2.0 points

The registration process is rather complicated, requiring applicants to collect 3-5 documents and submit them to a registration office or an administrative services center. 

Because of this, people rarely get registered where they live. Their taxes go to the localities’ budgets where they are registered, not where they currently reside. Therefore, local authorities do not have enough funds to provide services to such people.

Law 1871-IX seeks to address this issue by streamlining the registration process. People will now be able to register their place of residence online using the Diia app.

Introducing online residence registration requires that considerable changes be made to the information exchange between state registers, as prescribed by this law.

Information about the Reforms Index project, the list of Index experts and the database of the regulations assessed are available here.
