Registration of religious organization

---

Religious organizations (societies) in Ukraine are legal entities. Such organizations, as a rule, are non-profit, but carry out their activities in strict accordance with current legislation. This also applies to the registration procedure.

The lawyers of the company "Legal Solutions" will help you register a religious organization at an affordable price.

What organizational and legal forms are provided for by law?

The following types of religious organizations can be opened in Ukraine:

• communities;
• centers and control;
• brotherhood;
• missionary societies;
• monasteries;
• educational institutions (theological);
• unions.

The main document regulating the activities of organizations engaged in religious education of a certain religion is the charter.

How to develop a charter?

Unlike profitable legal entities, religious organizations undergo a slightly different registration procedure. First of all, it is necessary to develop a charter and approve it in the executive authorities. Only after this should you contact the state registrar.

Our specialists know how to correctly draw up a charter and approve it, so you can entrust this work to us.

The charter must include the following information:

• form of religious organization and its location;
• property;
• rights, tasks and responsibilities;
• procedure for making changes;
• termination procedure.

List of documents

To create a legal entity in the form of a religious organization, at least 10 founders will be required — individuals. The following documents must be provided:

1. Copies of passports of all founders.
2. Information about the founders and management members.

Our lawyers will help:

• find a legal address (we provide services for renting a legal address in Kyiv and the region);
• select name;
• conclude an office lease agreement.
