Let's consider everything in more detail using simple examples.

Today you bought an apartment. The legal document for your apartment will be the apartment purchase and sale agreement, made on special forms of notarial documents with the signature and seal of a notary.

You have expressed a desire to register your property right within 3-5 days.

In order to start registration, you must provide the original receipt for the payment of the administrative fee in the amount of UAH 140.

Next, the notary registers your application in the electronic register. A scanned copy of the receipt is also sent to the server of the electronic register.

Since the state policy is aimed at getting rid of paper information carriers and switching to electronic ones, do not be alarmed that the Information Certificate will be issued to you by a notary on a white sheet of paper without a signature and without a notary seal. In any case, this document is authentic.

There is a QR code in the lower corner of this document. In the future, when technically possible, the law stipulates that the notary will inform you of the unique number under which your property rights are registered, and you, in turn, can go to the website, enter this number, and print out all the information about the registration of your property rights on paper without even leaving your home.

Since the right of ownership of real estate arises from the moment of state registration of the right to it, from the moment of receiving the Information Certificate from the notary or a unique number, you are the final legal owner of the real estate you have acquired.
