Legal relations in the field of civil status registration: analysis of legal facts

Abstract

The article describes the peculiarities of registration of legal facts by civil registry offices. The author also analyses the main problems that arise during the registration of civil status acts for persons who are in the temporarily occupied territory and the territory of active hostilities. The article formulates the authors own definition of the category of legal fact, and also defines the category of administrative act; in the context of the topic under study. It is also emphasised that legal facts are registered by a specially authorised body of state or local self-government, which summarises the said action by issuing an administrative act of individual action.
 The author comes to the conclusion that today Ukraine has formed a system of registration by civil registry offices. However, due to the introduction of martial law in Ukraine, citizens of Ukraine who are forced to reside in the temporarily occupied territory and the territory of military operations cannot properly use the services of the civil registry office. Unfortunately, the State's efforts to facilitate the registration of legal facts by these persons have not yet been crowned with significant success.
 The author believes that it is necessary to develop a strategy for improving the current legislation in the field of civil registration of persons residing or temporarily residing in the temporarily occupied territory and the territory of military hostilities.
