Article 36. Terms of administrative proceedings

Unless otherwise provided by law, the administrative body considers the administrative case and adopts the administrative act as soon as possible, but no later than thirty working days from the date of registration of the application with the administrative body, and in the case of the adoption of an administrative act at the initiative of the administrative body — from the date of proper notification of the addressee about the commencement of administrative proceedings.

Terms for the adoption of administrative acts at the initiative of administrative bodies are established by law.

The term of administrative proceedings may be extended by the administrative body in cases provided for by law.

The time limit for administrative proceedings begins from the day the application is registered with the administrative body, and for the adoption of an administrative act at the initiative of the administrative body — from the day the addressee is duly notified of the commencement of the administrative proceedings.

When redirecting the application to the authorized administrative body according to its jurisdiction, the period of administrative proceedings begins from the day the administrative case is received and registered in the relevant competent administrative body.

The terms of administrative proceedings are calculated in days, months and years.

If the term for administrative proceedings expires on a day off (holiday), the expiration day of the term shall be the business day following it.
