Extract from the State Register of Real Property Rights (ДРРП)

What the ДРРП is

The State Register of Real Property Rights records rights, not objects. The cadastre says a parcel of a given size and use exists at a given cadastral number; this register says who owns it, on what legal basis, and what limits that ownership — a mortgage, an arrest, a lease, a servitude. It is held by the Ministry of Justice and governed by the Law of Ukraine "On the State Registration of Real Property Rights and Their Encumbrances" (No. 1952-IV, art. 32) together with Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 1127 of 25 December 2015.

Витяг or інформаційна довідка — which you actually need

Almost everyone searching for a "витяг з ДРРП" needs the other document. A витяг is issued to confirm a registration that has just been carried out, so it comes to the person whose right was registered. An інформаційна довідка is the lookup: it reports the rights and encumbrances currently registered against a property, and it is what you order when checking a parcel before a purchase or a dispute. Ask for a витяг about someone else's property and you will not get one.

What the report shows

An інформаційна довідка sets out the register's current state for the object:

• the owner or rightholder, and the share held where ownership is joint
• the legal basis of the right, and the date it was registered
• the type of right — ownership, lease, superficies, servitude, management
• encumbrances: mortgages, arrests, prohibitions on disposal, tax liens
• the registration number of the object and its address
• the record of who has previously obtained information about the object

When you need it

Anywhere a right has to be proven rather than asserted:

• checking a parcel or a building before buying it
• notarial acts — sale, gift, exchange, inheritance
• taking or granting a mortgage
• litigation and enforcement proceedings
• confirming that an arrest or prohibition has been lifted
• due diligence on a counterparty's assets

Who issues it, and who may ask

Information from the register is issued by the Ministry of Justice, by state and private notaries, by state registrars, by ЦНАП administrators, by executive committees and district administrations, and through the Дія portal. The law makes the data "відкритою, загальнодоступною та платною" — open, publicly accessible and chargeable — subject to the exceptions the law itself sets out, so you do not need to own a property to obtain a report about it. Two limits are worth knowing: finding out who has been looking at your own property is available on paper only, and personal data in the register stays subject to data-protection law regardless of the register being open.

How to order one

The request is built around the object, so identify it first:

• identify the property — by cadastral number for a parcel, or by address or registration number
• submit the request electronically through the state portals, or on paper at a ЦНАП or a notary
• give your identifying details
• pay the administrative fee
• receive the report

Cost and how long it takes

The administrative fee is a fraction of the subsistence minimum for able-bodied persons as at 1 January of the year of service, rounded to the nearest 10 hryvnias: 0.025 of it for the paper form and 0.0125 for the electronic one — so the electronic report is half the price of the paper one. A notary performing a notarial act is charged at a different rate again, 0.04. Because the base is reset every January, treat any fixed sum you read as indicative. Timing strongly favours going electronic: the paper form takes up to one calendar day, the electronic one about ten minutes.

ДРРП and ДЗК are not alternatives

A cadastre extract and a rights report answer different questions, and a purchase check needs both. The cadastre will tell you the parcel is 0.12 hectares, designated for housing, with boundaries in a certain place. It will not tell you that the owner mortgaged it last year, or that a court has frozen any dealing with it. A parcel can be immaculate in the cadastre and unsellable in the rights register — which is the single most expensive thing to discover after signing.

Why the map does not show the owner

Our cadastral map shows the form of ownership — state, communal or private — because that is a cadastre attribute and it is public. It does not name the owner, and no public map lawfully does: the name is personal data, and it reaches you through the rights register, on a paid request, on the terms above. That is the honest boundary between what a map can show for free and what a register issues as a document.
