Technical passport for the house in Ukraine

One of the most important documents for housing is a technical passport. A technical passport for a house is a document that contains basic information about the real estate object. The technical passport contains the following characteristics of the house:

• location (address) of the object;
• composition;
• technical characteristics;
• plan and description of the object;
• name of the owner/customer;
• information on the ownership of the real estate object;
• information about the business entity that issued the technical passport.

In particular, the year of construction and the material of the foundation, walls and ceilings, the number of floors, height, size of rooms and non-residential premises are indicated. The purpose of each of them is described. For example, if the building has been redeveloped, the information about the work that was carried out, its date and the availability of a permit for its implementation must be indicated.

It should be understood that a technical passport is not a title document for real estate, but only an informational document. It can be issued both for the entire building and for its individual parts (for example, for a room in an apartment building).

Starting from August 2021, each technical passport developed is subject to registration in the Register of Construction Activities. The registration is confirmed, in particular, by a special QR code on the technical passport, an electronic link from which leads to the website of the Register of Construction Activities with data on the registration of such a technical passport.
