About this service

A foreigner needs a tax number before most other documents: without it there is no employment, no bank account and no business. The application is filed on form 1-ДР with the tax office and can be done under a power of attorney. The file depends on whether a residence permit is already in hand.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to go to the tax office myself?+

No. Filing and collection are done under a power of attorney. The only thing you do in person is visit a notary to have it drawn up.

How long does it take?+

Three to five working days from the date the power of attorney is signed. The term does not start earlier, so the notary is not the step to postpone.

Is a passport translation needed?+

If you have a residence permit and a registration certificate, no. If you do not have a permit yet, yes. That is why our first question is what you already hold.

Can the number be obtained while I am abroad?+

The power of attorney has to be notarised, and a Ukrainian notary will not certify it without the border-crossing stamp. So we first look at what you hold and tell you whether it is possible in your case.

What if the card is lost?+

We apply again: two sets of documents are prepared and form 5-ДР is added. The same work, only a larger file.

Do I need the number if I do not work in Ukraine?+

Employers are not the only ones who ask for it: without the number there is no bank account, no sole proprietorship and no property registration. That is why it is usually obtained before anything else.
