FAQ by foreigners while obtaining identification code (tax ID):
– Does tax ID provide the right to reside in Ukraine?
Obtaining identification code provides no additional advantages or preferences to foreigners. In fact, it is only a code identification and it bears no legal consequences for a foreigner.
– What is identification number (tax ID) for ?
A foreigner with no identification code can not perform any legal actions, such as: 1) any notarial acts; 2) the purchase of real estate by foreigners; 3) registration of a legal entity (company) by a foreigner in Ukraine.
– Can a foreigner obtain identification number without his/her presence?
In order to get the identification number or to submit documents to obtain it without the personal presence of the foreigner must have a notarized power of attorney.
