TL;DR. Ukraine’s official business registry is the Unified State Register of Legal Entities (USR / EDR), operated by the Ministry of Justice. usr.minjust.gov.ua did not respond when last checked. The ministry site at minjust.gov.ua loaded, titled Міністерство юстиції України, and still points at that USR address. NAIS at nais.gov.ua/registers loaded, titled Реєстри, and lists the same public USR portal plus an authorised-user host that also did not respond. Fees are unknown rather than free; confirm at source. This page does not prescribe a screening workflow.
What is the official Ukraine business registry?
The Unified State Register of Legal Entities, Individual Entrepreneurs and Public Organizations (Ukrainian: Єдиний державний реєстр, abbreviated EDR or USR) is Ukraine’s central company registry. It is maintained by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine under the Law of Ukraine “On State Registration of Legal Entities, Individual Entrepreneurs and Public Organizations” (Law No. 755-IV, 2003, as amended).
The named public host is https://usr.minjust.gov.ua. It did not respond when last checked, so no online search path is documented here. This guide still points at the official USR address, which is not currently a working search.
The Ministry of Justice site at https://minjust.gov.ua loaded and still links to usr.minjust.gov.ua. That ministry home is not a company search. The NAIS registers catalogue at https://nais.gov.ua/registers names the USR and links usr.minjust.gov.ua as the public portal for obtaining information, and usrreg.minjust.gov.ua as access for authorised persons. Both of those USR hosts did not respond when last checked. Neither minjust.gov.ua nor nais.gov.ua/registers is a replacement search.
The registry covers private and public companies (товариства з обмеженою відповідальністю / TOV and акціонерні товариства / PAT), sole proprietors (FOP), non-profit organizations, public institutions, and branches of foreign companies registered in Ukraine. Every entity is assigned an EDRPOU code at registration. That code is the primary identifier across Ukrainian government databases. Those fields could not be confirmed, because no USR page could be reached.
A December 2024 cyberattack has been reported as disrupting USR access, and the register has also been reported as working again in 2026. Neither could be confirmed here, and the host did not respond when last checked.
What can you search?
Nothing, through usr.minjust.gov.ua, which did not respond. EDRPOU, company-name, RNOCPP and legal-entity-type fields therefore cannot be confirmed, and nor can the contents of a result page: status labels, founders, KVED, charter capital or beneficial ownership. Confirm at source.
How much does it cost?
| Item | Cost (UAH) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Online search on usr.minjust.gov.ua | Unknown | Host did not respond |
| Public profile / official extract | Unknown | Not published |
No hryvnia figures could be confirmed while the USR host does not respond, so the table above reads unknown rather than free; confirm at source. Extracts through Diia have been reported but could not be confirmed here.
Do you need a local account or ID?
There is no online USR access path, because the host did not respond. An account and a local ID are shown as not required only because there is no online company search to gate, not because open access was confirmed.
Is the website in English?
The host did not return a page, so no interface could be seen. The USR portal has been reported as Ukrainian-only; confirm at source.
What’s the turnaround time?
Unknown. usr.minjust.gov.ua did not respond, and no turnaround time is published.
Is there an API?
No public USR API could be confirmed. A host that does not respond is not an API.
Commercial aggregators are not the official USR and are not a replacement for it. This page does not claim aggregator hosts loaded here.
What you legally cannot do
The USR terms could not be read, because the host did not respond. Bulk automated scraping and commercial redistribution of official extracts have been reported as restricted; confirm at source.
OFAC, EU and UK sanctions lists are separate from the USR. This page does not prescribe a screening workflow. For the broader due-diligence framework, see our Global Business Due Diligence Guide.
Practical tips for foreign compliance buyers
- usr.minjust.gov.ua did not respond. The official USR host is not a working search. The ministry and NAIS pages that did load still name that address, and no replacement search address could be found.
- EDRPOU remains the anchor. The 8-digit EDRPOU code is the identifier used across Ukrainian filings, though it could not be confirmed on a USR page.
- FATF lists. Whether Ukraine appears on a FATF monitoring list is not confirmed here. Confirm at the FATF source. This page does not prescribe enhanced due diligence.
Alternatives if you cannot access USR directly
- Commercial aggregators are not the official USR. This page does not claim aggregator hosts loaded here.

No commercial USR substitute is cited here.
Use the official USR when that host is reachable. It did not respond when last checked.
FAQ
Can a foreign company access the Ukraine registry directly?
Not at usr.minjust.gov.ua, which did not respond when last checked. The ministry and NAIS pages that loaded are not a USR search.
What is the EDRPOU code in Ukraine?
The EDRPOU (Єдиний державний реєстр підприємств і організацій України, ЄДРПОУ) is an 8-digit numeric code assigned to legal entities registered in Ukraine. For sole proprietors (FOPs), the equivalent identifier is the RNOCPP (individual tax number). Neither format could be confirmed on a USR page; confirm at source.
What entity types are registered with the USR?
Historic coverage includes private limited companies (TOV), joint-stock companies (AO/PAT), sole proprietors (FOP), cooperatives, non-governmental organizations, public unions, foundations, religious organizations, and branches and representative offices of foreign companies. That list could not be confirmed against a working USR search.
Does Ukraine have a beneficial ownership (UBO) registry?
No beneficial-ownership field could be confirmed, because no USR page could be reached. Beneficial-ownership disclosure to the USR under Law No. 361-IX has been reported; confirm at source.
How current is the data in the USR?
Not confirmed. The USR host did not respond, and it publishes no statement of how current its data is.
Is Ukraine on the FATF grey list?
Ukraine’s entry on the FATF lists was not read for this guide. Confirm at the FATF source. This page does not prescribe enhanced due diligence.
What’s the difference between the USR and Ukraine’s tax registry?
The USR (Ministry of Justice) holds legal existence: registration, directors, shareholders, and registered address, when the host is reachable. The State Tax Service of Ukraine (DPS) maintains a separate taxpayer register. The DPS was not checked for this guide, and it is not a replacement for the USR.
