Short answer. You can obtain an information extract from the State Register of Real Rights to Immovable Property in PDF format via the ‘Diia’ portal. The cost is 40 UAH (per 25 pages); the extract is provided within an hour, and a qualified electronic signature is required. The certificate shows the owner, encumbrances, mortgages and seizures, and has the same legal force as a paper extract. Important: the document issued online via ‘Diia’ is specifically an information certificate, not the traditional ‘extract’ produced by the state registrar.
Obtaining information about property no longer requires a personal visit to government offices — a significant portion of the information can be obtained online via government e-services. Let’s take a look at what this document is, how much it costs, how to order it step by step, and what to do if the property you’re looking for isn’t in the register.
What is an extract from the property register?
An extract (or information certificate) from the State Register of Real Rights to Immovable Property is an official document containing details of the owner, the type of right (ownership, lease, mortgage), the date and number of state registration, the property’s characteristics, as well as any encumbrances or restrictions. A certificate obtained via ‘Diia’ in PDF format has the same legal force as a paper document and is accepted by notaries, banks and government bodies. It is important to understand the difference in terminology. Via ‘Diia’, users order an information certificate from the register themselves. A traditional extract, as defined by law, is issued by a state registrar or notary during the registration process. For most everyday situations — such as checking a property before purchase or ensuring there are no seizures — an information certificate from ‘Diia’ is entirely sufficient. 
How much does an extract from the property register cost?
This is the main question, and the answer is straightforward. The amount of the administrative fee is set out in Article 34 of the Law ‘On State Registration of Real Rights to Immovable Property and Encumbrances Thereon’ and is linked to the minimum subsistence level for able-bodied persons (3,328 UAH in 2026).
| How to obtain it | Cost in 2026 |
|---|---|
| Electronic extract via ‘Diia’ | 40 UAH (per 25 pages) |
| Paper certificate via the Administrative Services Centre (CNAP) | approximately 60 UAH |
| Access to the register for a solicitor/notary | 60 UAH (0.04 minimum wage) |
The exact amount is displayed directly when submitting the request and may increase if the certificate is lengthy (the fee is charged per 25 pages). There are no exemptions from the fee for this service.
When is an extract required
The document is required when buying or selling a flat, house or plot of land, settling an inheritance, drawing up a deed of gift, obtaining a mortgage, and in legal disputes concerning property rights. The most important scenario is a pre-purchase check: it is the extract from the register that reveals any hidden seizures or mortgages that the seller might ‘forget’ to mention.
Step-by-step guide
Step 1. Log in
Register or log in to your citizen’s account on diia.gov.ua using a qualified electronic signature. It is the QES, and not just BankID, that is required for this service.
Step 2. Select the service
In the catalogue, find the service ‘Provision of information from the State Register of Real Rights to Immovable Property’.
Step 3. Specify your search criteria
You can search for a property by address, land parcel cadastral number, property registration number or owner details (RNOKPP). The more precise the address, the more accurate the result.
Step 4. Pay the administrative fee
Once the details have been verified, the system will prompt you to pay for the service online using a bank card.
Step 5. Obtain the certificate
The document, in PDF format, is generated within an hour and appears in the ‘Services’ section under ‘Documents Received’. You can save or print it. 
Why a property might not appear
Sometimes, a property cannot be found when searched for. The most common reasons are:
- the title was registered before 2013 — prior to the creation of the electronic register — and the details have not yet been transferred;
- an error was made when entering the address or cadastral number;
- the title is not properly registered;
- property belonging to another person with identical details was found using the specified criteria — it is worth trying a search using the RNOKPP.
If the property was registered before 2013 and is not listed in the register, this does not mean that ownership has been lost — the details simply need to be entered into the register via a state registrar, a Centre for Administrative Services (CNAAP) or a notary.
What to do if the details in the extract are incorrect
If the certificate contains errors or is missing information, first check that the details you entered are correct, and then contact the state registrar with a request to correct the technical error. If the error was not your fault or affects your ownership rights, you may need to take the matter to court. In complex situations, it is advisable to consult a lawyer who can identify the cause and prepare the necessary documents.
When to consult a lawyer
You do not need a lawyer for a simple certificate for your own use — you can obtain this yourself in a few minutes. However, a specialist’s assistance is useful if information about your property is missing from the register, a dispute over ownership has arisen, an unlawful encumbrance or seizure has been identified, you need to cancel an unlawful state registration, or you need to restore your property documents. In these cases, a solicitor will assess the situation, prepare submissions to government bodies or represent your interests in court.
