The Ministry of Justice has denied the mandatory re-registration of real estate: what is known

According to hvylya.net: The Ministry of Justice of Ukraine has denied rumors about the mandatory re-registration of property rights acquired before 2013. They stated that all property rights registered in the old register are valid, and owners do not need to take any additional actions.

'There is no mandatory re-registration. Digitization is a voluntary and free process,' they explained at the Ministry of Justice.

It is also known that in the future, the process of entering data into the new register may become more convenient, especially when selling or inheriting property.

In 2013, a new state property registration system came into effect through the State Register of Property Rights. The old register, managed by the BTI, became an archival part of the new database. All property entries made before this date remain valid.

Submitting a re-registration application is only possible at the owner's discretion. This can be done in person at the Administrative Services Center or through a notary. An online service is also available in 'Diya', with certain territorial exceptions. For example, for property in Crimea, Sevastopol, and some regions of Ukraine, this service can be obtained at the CNAP or through a notary. From October 13, 2025, the Chernihiv region will also join this opportunity.

All property rights registered before 2013 remain valid, and there is no mandatory re-registration. However, in the future, the new registration system may make the process more convenient for property owners, especially in transactions involving sales or inheritance.
