Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to register an information agency in Ukraine?
The cost depends on the legal form chosen (LLC vs other entity), whether a model charter is used, and the scope of legal support required, so exact fees are quoted after a consultation. An LLC registered via Diia on a model charter carries no state duty (0 UAH); other charters and services are billed separately. Leave a request or write to us on Telegram for a firm quote.
What documents are needed to register an information agency?
You need founders' passports and tax ID numbers (or equivalents for foreign nationals), a charter or a model charter selection, a decision or minutes on establishment, and details on the founding capital and director. Additional documents (address confirmation, power of attorney for a representative) may be required depending on the founders' status. A lawyer reviews the exact list of documents for your case before filing.
How long does registration take?
Registering a legal entity such as an LLC with a state registrar or via the Diia portal on a model charter typically takes about 24 hours, with the entry made in the Unified State Register (USR/EDR). Timelines can extend if documents are incomplete, the charter is non-standard, or additional approvals are needed for the agency's media activity.
Can a foreigner register an information agency in Ukraine?
Yes, a foreign national can found or co-found a Ukrainian legal entity to operate an information agency, using a passport and, where required, a taxpayer registration number; a power of attorney lets a lawyer file on their behalf without travel to Ukraine. Foreigners intending to reside and manage the business in person separately need to address their immigration status with the State Migration Service (SMS/DMS).
Do I need a license to operate an information agency in Ukraine?
Registering the legal entity in the Unified State Register (USR/EDR) is separate from any sector-specific requirements that may apply to media or information activity, which depend on the agency's exact scope of work. We review your planned activity during a consultation to confirm which additional registrations or approvals, if any, apply before you launch.
