PECULIARITIES OF IMPLEMENTATION OF POWERS OF THE STATE MIGRATION SERVICE OF UKRAINE REGARDING THE PROVISION OF ELECTRONIC SERVICES IN THE FIELD OF MIGRATION AND CITIZENSHIP

Abstract

The scientific article is devoted to the characteristics of the activity of the State Migration Service of Ukraine on the provision of electronic services in the field of migration and citizenship. It is proved that CNAP should be entrusted with powers in the aspect of passport service of the population; The competence of the LCA bodies should be focused on the provision of public services to citizens of Ukraine traveling abroad for permanent residence, and to foreigners and stateless persons wishing to reside in Ukraine. This division of powers will allow each of these bodies to focus on its own area of work in accordance with the principle of subject competence. In our opinion, the activity of the state enterprise «Document» in this area should be stopped as potentially corrupt. A significant structural and functional shortcoming was revealed, which manifests itself in the actual duplication of functions by the territorial departments of the LCA of Ukraine and the CNAP in terms of population certification. Elimination of this shortcoming is directly related to a clear division of competence between these entities: the functions of current population registration and the provision of relevant public services for the issuance (replacement) of passports should be assigned to the CNAP, migration accounting functions and the implementation of relevant administrative procedures – for LCA departments. The only exception should be the procedures for certification of citizens of Ukraine living in temporarily uncontrolled territories; Given the current state of affairs, this aspect today is directly related to national security issues, which is beyond the competence of local public authorities, so it should remain in the hands of units of central executive bodies, in our case – LCA departments.
