What is a location business address?

When an entrepreneur submits an application for registration, he gives his registered address, which is the address where he can be contacted. Generally the residential address is stated, but it is also possible to state a different address, e.g. the actual place of residence. The law allows it, it is confirmed by court decisions (Decision of the First Appeal administrative court from 25.11.2020 on the case № 360/2469/20, from 28.10.2020 on the case № 200/1304/20-a).
For internally displaced persons, a relaxation was introduced, and they were allowed to register at the actual place of residence on the basis of the certificate of internally displaced person.
Before the war, it was possible to make changes to the registration documents at any Administrative Service Center or at the state registrar. But now not all agencies can carry out registration activities, so before you go to the registrar, check the list of offices in operation.
In addition to a personal visit to the registrar, you can make changes online using the service «Dija». This way, no one will check your residence registration.
