Key Registrations & Procedures
Tax Identification Number (IPN — Ідентифікаційний номер)
Deadline: Required before starting employment or opening a bank account
Processing Time: 5–10 business days. IPN is issued as a paper certificate.
Fees: Free
Appointment: Walk-in at local tax office. Some offices accept online applications via tax.gov.ua portal.
Required Documents:

Where to Do It:
Local office of the State Tax Service (DPS) based on your registered address. In Kyiv: DPS offices in each district. Available in all oblast capitals and major cities.
If You Don't Do It:
No direct fine for not having an IPN, but without it you may not be able to be legally employed, open a bank account, sign a rental contract, or conduct most financial transactions in Ukraine.
Regional Variations: Same process nationwide. Kyiv offices tend to be busiest. Some regional offices may require documents in Ukrainian only.
