Will I be able to apply for IDP assistance if I lived in an apartment without a residence permit?

Yes, you can, especially since you already have an IDP certificate.

In the absence of "registration" or actual residence at the place of "registration", a person can also submit other documents that would confirm his residence in the settlement from which the transfer took place. It is about:

1. military card with information on military service;

2. labor book with records of labor activity;

3. a document confirming ownership of movable or immovable property;

4. certificate of basic general secondary education;

5. certificate of complete general secondary education;

6. a document on professional and technical education; a document on higher education (a scientific degree);

7. a certificate from the place of study;

8. decision of the district, district in Kyiv or Sevastopol state administration, the executive body of the city or district council in the city on placing a child in a children's institution, in a foster family, a family-type children's home, establishing guardianship or care;

9. medical documents (for example, a declaration from a family doctor);

10. OK-5 or OK-7 certificates (can be quickly obtained in the "Action" application in the "Services" - "References" section); photos, video recordings, etc.
