Article 22. Results of consideration of documents on registration of a religious organization

Based on the results of consideration of documents on registration of a religious organization, the registering body makes one of the following decisions:

on the registration of a religious organization;

on refusal to register a religious organization.

If a decision is made to register a religious organization, the registering body, within three days from the date of the decision:

enters information about the religious organization into the register of religious organizations;

registers a religious organization with tax authorities and statistics authorities;

creates a personal account of a religious organization in the electronic system;

generates an electronic certificate of registration of a religious organization;

sends an electronic certificate of registration of the religious organization and the charter of the religious organization to the personal account of the religious organization in the electronic system.

The electronic certificate of re-registration of a religious organization shall indicate previous information about the religious organization, including its name, the name of the registering authority, the date of registration of the religious organization, and the date of re-registration.

In case of re-registration of a religious organization due to a change in the registering authority, the newly registered authority notifies the previous registering authority of this through the electronic system, indicating the relevant registration data.

In case of refusal to register a religious organization, a notification is sent to the personal account of the sender of an electronic appeal in the electronic system within one working day after the decision is made, indicating the reasons for the refusal.

Refusal to register a religious organization is not an obstacle to re-submission of documents, provided that the grounds for refusal are eliminated.
