Is dating business legal in Ukraine?
Ukraine law is far away from perfection and at the moment there is no legal basement for official registration of dating business in Ukraine. Simply it is huge god-forsaken hole in the law of Ukraine. Getting of bank wire transfers or charging credit cards is not available without officially registered business. Therefore marriage agencies register their business as translation services or travel services or internet technologies etc. This way they are available to charge your cc and get payments by bank wire transfer from customers and to inform tax inspection that it is payment for translation services while you order trip arrangements or trip arrangements while you order translation services etc. These facts do not mean that you shall be scammed by dating agencies. It means that Ukraine law is not good and marriage business tries to be flexible to the law of Ukraine. Sometimes Ukraine based marriage agencies register business in other country. This way you shall make payments, for example, to US but services will be offered in Ukraine.

Sometimes registered name of marriage agency differs from that one which is mentioned on the website of dating agency. Do not afraid of these agencies. It does not mean that these agencies are scammers. The example is dating agency "Brides from Ukraine" may have official registered business name: "James Jackson". Registered type of business may be Internet technologies. ("James Jackson" may simply not attract customers. Therefore owners invent romantic names).

So in this article I answer the most often asked question: any marriage agency which is based in Ukraine is not officially registered.

If you like to check if business like "translation services" or "travel services" is officially registered you should not engage private detective for that. Just simply ask them if they accept payment by bank wire transfer. Positive response will mean that business is registered. How serious this business is... It is other question.
