How to verify a Ukrainian employer from Pakistan: five official registers, step by step
Which register answers which question, what to compare against your offer letter, and where the registers stop and a lawyer’s check begins.
Direct answer
To verify a Ukrainian employer, take its 8-digit EDRPOU code to the Unified State Register: the status must be active, with the same name, address and director as your offer. Then confirm the State Employment Service published a work permit decision for you, search the court decisions register, and check any lawyer in the bar register.

The five registers and what each one tells you
| Register | What it shows | Compare with your papers |
|---|---|---|
| Unified State Register usr.minjust.gov.ua | Status, registered address, director and persons who may sign, main activity. | Active status; the same name, address and director as your offer; the signer on your papers listed as entitled to sign. |
| State Employment Service dcz.gov.ua | Work permit decisions, published within 2 working days (Art. 42-7). | A decision for this employer, for your position, on the date you were given. |
| Unified State Register of Court Decisions reyestr.court.gov.ua | Court cases where the company is a party. | Unpaid wage claims, bankruptcy, disputes with workers. |
| Unified Register of Advocates of Ukraine erau.unba.org.ua | Whether a named lawyer is admitted to practise. | Any “lawyer” the employer or agent puts forward. |
| BE&OE list of Overseas Employment Promoters beoe.gov.pk | Licensed recruiting agents in Pakistan. | The licence of the Pakistani agent who brought you the job. |
Step by step
- Ask for the EDRPOU code in writing. Ask for the full legal name and the 8-digit code; both are in the employer’s own register entry. A company that only gives a brand name or a phone number is not ready to be checked, so treat it as unverified.
- Find the entry in the Unified State Register. Search by code, then by name. Read the status line: a company that is liquidated, or a sole proprietor recorded as terminated, cannot get a work permit (Law No. 5067-VI, Art. 42-9).
- Match the people. The director in the register and the person who signed your offer or contract should be the same, or the signer should be listed as entitled to act for the company.
- Find your permit decision. The State Employment Service publishes each decision within 2 working days (Art. 42-7). Ask the employer for the decision date and compare the employer and position with your contract. More on this in Ukraine work permit check online.
- Read the history. Search the court decisions register by the company’s name or code for wage claims, bankruptcy and disputes with workers.
- Check the people around the deal. A lawyer named by the employer should appear in the Unified Register of Advocates; a Pakistani recruiter should hold an Overseas Employment Promoter licence on the BE&OE list.
What the registers cannot tell you
A clean register entry proves the company exists. Three questions stay open: whether a real workplace is waiting for you, whether the employer pays its workers’ social contributions, and whether the person writing to you speaks for the company at all. Those gaps are where the “paper employer” scheme lives: the permit is revoked when you are sent to work for someone else (Art. 42-10). Read fake Ukrainian employers for the five types, and Ukrainian employer or immigration firm: legit or scam for the full checklist including reviews.
