Enforcement-document presentation period calculation

The cal­cu­la­tor adds 3 years or 3 months. This is a base­line cal­en­dar date, not the final pre­sen­ta­tion dead­line.

Enter the first day of the time limit itself: usually the day after a de­ci­sion enters into force, a de­fer­ral or in­stal­ment period ends, or a de­ci­sion subject to im­me­di­ate en­force­ment is adopted.

Creditor type

Select the base­line cat­e­go­ry. Special en­force­ment doc­u­ments may have a dif­fer­ent time limit.

Estimated result

Baseline calendar date10 November 2029

Method: 10 No­vem­ber 2026 + 3 years = 10 No­vem­ber 2029

Caution: This is only a base­line date, not the last day or a finding that the dead­line was missed. Section XIII, para­graph 10-2 of the Act pro­vides for in­ter­rup­tion of its dead­lines during martial law. The actual dead­line depends on doc­u­ment history, return, other in­ter­rup­tions and special rules; check them before filing.

How this calculation works

Article 12 of the Law of Ukraine “On En­force­ment Pro­ceed­ings” sets the general period for pre­sent­ing en­force­ment doc­u­ments for com­pul­so­ry en­force­ment at 3 years. For doc­u­ments where the cred­i­tor is the state or a state au­thor­i­ty, the basic period is 3 months.

The tool does not de­ter­mine the actual last day or whether the dead­line was missed. Section XIII, para­graph 10-2 of the Act pro­vides for in­ter­rup­tion of its dead­lines during martial law. Check the start date, pre­vi­ous in­ter­rup­tions, returns and other cir­cum­stances against the doc­u­ments.

Calculation methodology

Method­ol­o­gy for the dead­line to present an en­force­ment doc­u­ment

  1. The user enters the date already iden­ti­fied as the start of the en­force­ment filing period.

  2. For an or­di­nary cred­i­tor, add three cal­en­dar years.

  3. For the state or a state au­thor­i­ty, add three cal­en­dar months.

  4. Return of the doc­u­ment, in­ter­rup­tion, renewal of the period, and special pay­ments are checked sep­a­rate­ly.

Example

Calculation example

For an or­di­nary claimant in Lviv, the en­force­ment writ lim­i­ta­tion period starts on 15 May 2026.

  • Cred­i­tor type: or­di­nary
  • Start of the period: 15.05.2026
  • Base­line time limit: 3 years

Es­ti­mat­ed last day to present it: May 15, 2029.

If the doc­u­ment has already been re­turned or the de­ci­sion is subject to a special en­force­ment pro­ce­dure, the dead­line may be cal­cu­lat­ed dif­fer­ent­ly.

What to check in the documents

  • Court de­ci­sion, writ of ex­e­cu­tion, or another en­force­ment doc­u­ment.
  • The date the de­ci­sion takes effect, a de­fer­ral, an in­stall­ment plan, or im­me­di­ate en­force­ment.
  • En­force­ment officer’s orders opening, re­turn­ing, or closing pro­ceed­ings.
  • Does the doc­u­ment concern child support, pe­ri­od­ic pay­ments or a state claimant?

Frequently asked questions

Which date should I enter in the calculator?

Enter not the date the writ of ex­e­cu­tion was issued, but the date the time limit to present it began. Usually this is the day after the de­ci­sion entered into force, a de­fer­ral or in­stal­ment period ended, or a de­ci­sion subject to im­me­di­ate en­force­ment was adopted.

Does an ordinary creditor always have a 3-year period?

No. This is the basic rule. The law sets special periods for certain doc­u­ments, and dif­fer­ent pre­sen­ta­tion rules may apply to pe­ri­od­ic pay­ments.

What if the enforcement document has already been returned?

A return may affect how the period runs. Under Article 12, in some cases the period after in­ter­rup­tion starts on the day the doc­u­ment is re­turned or the rel­e­vant pro­hi­bi­tion ends.

Can a missed time limit be reinstated?

The cal­cu­la­tor’s base­line date does not es­tab­lish a missed dead­line. First check the martial-law in­ter­rup­tion and doc­u­ment history. The law pro­vides for an ap­pli­ca­tion to court to restore a missed dead­line where grounds exist.

Is the calculator suitable for child support?

Only as a re­minder that sep­a­rate review is needed. En­force­ment doc­u­ments for child support and other pe­ri­od­ic pay­ments may be pre­sent­ed through­out the entire period for which the pay­ments were awarded.
