Com­plaint against a state reg­is­trar

Deadline calculator for a complaint against a state registrar

For real estate in Lviv or Lviv Region, the period depends not on where the prop­er­ty is located but on whose act is being chal­lenged. Choose the type of de­ci­sion and the date you ac­tu­al­ly learned of the vi­o­la­tion; the cal­cu­la­tor will dis­tin­guish a two-month com­plaint against a reg­is­trar from a one-month com­plaint against an act of a ter­ri­to­r­i­al Min­istry of Justice au­thor­i­ty.

Check the complaint route and deadline

The cal­cu­la­tor applies the version of Article 37 of Law No. 1952-IV in force since 2026. First clas­si­fy the act, then enter the ev­i­denced date of aware­ness.

What are you challenging, and whose action?

Rely on a reg­istry extract, notice, order re­ceived, case ma­te­ri­als, or other ev­i­dence. The date is de­ter­mined by the facts, not only by the com­plainant’s state­ment.

Check the court dispute

Check the parties, subject matter, grounds, and content of the ju­di­cial act. An iden­ti­cal dispute or court de­ci­sion may pre­clude ad­min­is­tra­tive review.

A court de­ci­sion or par­al­lel dispute may rule out ad­min­is­tra­tive review. First compare the parties, subject matter, grounds, and content of the court act.

How the complaint calendar works

As amended ef­fec­tive January 1, 2026, Article 37 of Law No. 1952-IV sets two cal­en­dar months for a state reg­is­trar’s or reg­is­tra­tion au­thor­i­ty’s de­ci­sion, action, or omis­sion. One cal­en­dar month applies only to an act of a ter­ri­to­r­i­al Min­istry of Justice au­thor­i­ty.

The cal­cu­la­tion does not resolve a dispute over rights. If court pro­ceed­ings are already under way con­cern­ing real estate between the same parties and over the same subject and grounds, or the law assigns the claim ex­clu­sive­ly to a court, the ad­min­is­tra­tive com­plaint may not be con­sid­ered on its merits.

Calculation methodology

Pre­lim­i­nary cal­cu­la­tion method­ol­o­gy

  1. The user clas­si­fies the chal­lenged act and selects the ap­pro­pri­ate ad­min­is­tra­tive pro­ce­dure.

  2. The cal­cu­la­tor uses the ev­i­denced date of actual aware­ness and counts the period from the fol­low­ing day.

  3. Add one or two cal­en­dar months to the ref­er­ence date under Article 37.

  4. If there is no match­ing day, use the end of the month; Sat­ur­day or Sunday is moved to Monday.

Example

Example for property in Lviv

The owner re­ceived an in­for­ma­tion state­ment on 8 June 2026 and first dis­cov­ered a reg­is­tered en­cum­brance on an apart­ment in Lviv.

  • Subject: de­ci­sion on state reg­is­tra­tion of an en­cum­brance
  • Route: to the Min­istry of Justice
  • Proven aware­ness date: 08.06.2026

The two cal­en­dar months expire on Sat­ur­day, 8 August 2026. The pre­lim­i­nary last day after shift­ing is 10 August 2026.

If cor­re­spon­dence or court ma­te­ri­als show that the owner knew about the record earlier, the au­thor­i­ty may cal­cu­late the dead­line from the earlier date. Also check whether an iden­ti­cal court dispute exists.

Documents for review

  • Chal­lenged de­ci­sion, extract or in­for­ma­tion state­ment from the State Reg­is­ter of Pro­pri­etary Rights.
  • A doc­u­ment con­firm­ing the date the record was dis­cov­ered or the de­ci­sion re­ceived.
  • Title doc­u­ments for real estate and ma­te­ri­als re­lat­ing to the reg­is­tra­tion action.
  • In­for­ma­tion about court cases con­cern­ing the same prop­er­ty, parties, subject matter, and grounds.
  • Power of at­tor­ney or another doc­u­ment con­firm­ing the rep­re­sen­ta­tive’s au­thor­i­ty.
  • For postal filing: en­clo­sure list, receipt, and track­ing details.

Frequently asked questions

How much time is available to complain about a state registrar?

For a de­ci­sion, action, or omis­sion by a state reg­is­trar or reg­is­tra­tion au­thor­i­ty, the period is two cal­en­dar months from when the person learned or could have learned of the vi­o­la­tion. One month applies only to an act of a ter­ri­to­r­i­al Min­istry of Justice au­thor­i­ty.

Can a missed time limit be reinstated?

Current Article 37 does not provide for re­in­state­ment of this ad­min­is­tra­tive period. If it has expired, sep­a­rate­ly assess the ju­di­cial remedy and its time limits.

Is there still a three-year long-stop period?

No. Do not rely on older pub­li­ca­tions re­fer­ring to three years: com­plaints under the current version of Article 37 are subject to one- or two-month periods.

Where to complain about registration of real estate rights?

A state reg­is­trar’s de­ci­sion on state reg­is­tra­tion of a right or en­cum­brance is ap­pealed to the Min­istry of Justice. Other de­ci­sions, actions, or omis­sions gen­er­al­ly fall under the ter­ri­to­r­i­al body; check the exact subject against the doc­u­ment.

What proves the date I learned of the violation?

An extract or in­for­ma­tion state­ment from a reg­is­ter, notice, re­ceived order, cor­re­spon­dence, court file ma­te­ri­als, or another dated doc­u­ment. The au­thor­i­ty as­sess­es all cir­cum­stances, so the date stated in the com­plaint alone may not be suf­fi­cient.

Can a complaint be sent by post on the last day?

General ad­min­is­tra­tive pro­ce­dure rules allow using the date an item is handed to the postal op­er­a­tor before the dead­line. Keep the receipt, in­ven­to­ry of con­tents, and track­ing details; avoid leaving the risk of late or in­com­plete de­liv­ery until the last day.
