Registration of a political party in Ukraine

Registering a political party in Ukraine on your own is quite difficult, since the process is accompanied by numerous bureaucratic obstacles. The specifics of this procedure require not only time but also practical skills.

Registration of a political party: from collecting signatures to obtaining legal status

With the help of the legal company Nakaz, it becomes possible to register a political party — from collecting signatures to obtaining legal status — in the shortest possible time. At the same time, all legally established regulations are observed.

When registering a party, it is important to remember that every citizen of Ukraine who has the right to vote can be a member of only one political party. Judges, military personnel and citizens of Ukraine employed in the following cannot be members of political parties:

1. internal affairs bodies;
2. penal enforcement service;
3. prosecutor’s office;
4. tax service;
5. SBU.

Package of documents for submission to the Ministry of Justice

The creation of a new party begins with collecting 10,000 signatures from citizens residing in different regions of Ukraine and having the right to vote. Having secured such support, the political organization must prepare a set of documents which, together with the required information, will be submitted to the Ministry of Justice. These include:

• an application written on behalf of the party leader;
• the charter approved by the party members, as well as a detailed program outlining not only the ideas but also the methods of their implementation;
• a receipt confirming payment of the state fee, the amount of which is 100 non-taxable minimums;
• a notification from the bank where active settlement accounts are opened;
• signature sheets that allow registering a political party based on mass support of the organization by citizens of Ukraine;
• information about the leadership, including biographies of the party’s representatives, as well as information about their relevant education.

Registration takes 30 calendar days. In some cases, the Ministry of Justice may put forward additional requirements. Nakaz specialists have sufficient legal knowledge to foresee all possible nuances and help applicants avoid bureaucratic delays.
