Technical passport for an apartment
A technical passport for an apartment is a document that contains detailed information about the technical characteristics of an apartment: layout, total and living space, room arrangement, utilities, etc.
A technical passport is required for a number of legal and technical procedures, such as real estate registration, sale or inheritance, reconstruction and redevelopment.

- Registration of an inheritance or gift.
- Selling an apartment if the previous technical passport is outdated or has been redeveloped.
- Reconstruction or redevelopment of an apartment – to make changes to the document.
- Obtaining a mortgage or other banking services secured by real estate.

Do I need a technical passport for every transaction with an apartment?
The technical passport is always valid, but in some cases it may need to be updated:
- If redevelopment or reconstruction has been carried out, a new technical passport must be obtained.
- The sale of an apartment may require an up-to-date technical passport, especially if the previous one was made many years ago.
Тechnical passport and ownership
It is important to note that the technical passport itself is not a document confirming ownership. It only confirms the technical condition and characteristics of the apartment.
Ownership is confirmed by the relevant registration documents. If you contact GlobalBud Ukraine LLC to obtain a technical passport, make sure that they have certified engineers and an appropriate license to provide such services.
