Many Ukrainians are still looking every day for a certificate of family composition in the State Duma for subsidies, assistance at the birth of a child, registration of benefits or enrollment in kindergarten. However, they do not realize that the Certificate of Family Composition in the State Duma or the local administration is no longer issued , since 2019 this certificate was officially canceled.
Instead of the Certificate of Family Composition, another document is currently issued in the State Registry of Persons Registered in a Residential Premises – Extract from the Register of the Territorial Community .

Why is the certificate of family composition no longer issued?
According to the order of the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine dated July 17, 2019 No. 1106 , the certificate of family composition (form No. 13) has been canceled and can no longer be issued in district administrations, village or settlement councils or in the “Diya” application. The reason is the transition to electronic registers. Now all information about registered persons can be obtained from the single state register. The old paper certificate of family composition that was issued to you before 2019 has now lost its validity.
What document is issued instead of a certificate of family composition?
Modern replacement – Extract from the register of the territorial community about persons registered in the residential premises .
This document, instead of the old information about the composition of the family living in the residential building, contains information about registered persons, namely:
- Full names of all registered persons
- Date of birth
- Degree of relationship (if specified)
- Registration address
- Date of registration/deregistration
The document has the same legal force as the old certificate of family composition, living in a residential building together or separately (registered and non-resident).
