Determine address of local Civil Registry Office. Ukraine is divided into 24 ''oblast''(provinces), the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the cities of Kyiv and Sevastopol. These are further divided into 490 secondary administrative units called ''raion'' (district) and ''misto'' (city). Each of these has its own Civil Registry Office, known by their acronyms '''RATS''' in Ukrainian and '''ZAGS''' in Russian<ref>[https://legalbeagle.com/6064856-start-international-business-company.html Legal Beagle], c2020, Leaf Group Ltd. / Leaf Group Media, All Rights Reserved.</ref>.

==Historical Background== | == Historical Background == | ||
The Bureau of Civil Status Acts ('''ZAGS''') creates and maintains civil registration. The bureau is subordinate to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and is separate from the national archive system. Registration of births must be done within two months of birth and deaths within three days. Registration offices are collocated with "marriage palaces" permitting the registration and performance of weddings to occur at the same place and time. | |||

== Coverage and Compliance == | |||
Records begin in 1920. During the first decade of registration compliance was very low, but reached about85% thereafter. The civil war of the early Soviet period inhibited registration. For two years it was not enforced. The system was established first in urban and later in rural areas. Gaps persisted through 1926. Civil registration broke down in the occupied areas during World War II, and some registers were burned. | |||
