How to legalise and document signage in Odesa

We first determine the legal status of the proposed structure and whether it can be placed as designed. We then prepare the technical passport, coordinate the applicable approvals and support its registration.

For an existing sign, we review its location, façade, dimensions, fixing method and content and identify any changes required before documentation.

Documents that may be required for signage

  • technical passport registration application;
  • applicant and registration details;
  • documents confirming ownership or use of the premises;
  • trade mark documents where applicable;
  • technical passport in the applicable form;
  • reliability and safety documentation for technically complex structures.

The final list depends on the specific address and structure.

What approvals may be required?

Depending on the location and building status, approvals may involve the property owner or relevant co-owners, architecture and urban planning authorities and, for heritage sites and protection zones, the competent cultural heritage authority.
