The absence of sufficient theoretical developments regarding the essence and content of registration, permit and license procedures provided by the National Police of Ukraine is emphasized. In this regard, the following research tasks were formulated: 1) to establish the specificity of the legal nature of registration and permit-licensing procedures as a public service activity of police bodies; 2) determine the content of the categories “services” and “administrative services”, as well as outline their characteristic features. The implementation of the outlined tasks is aimed at achieving the goal, which consists in forming the author’s definition of the concept of “registration and permit-licensing procedures in the activities of the National Police” and clarifying their significance for ensuring the functioning of the permit system. Attention is focused on the presence of a set of common features of registration and permit-licensing procedures in the activities of the National Police, in particular: this is a sequence of actions regulated by current national legislation; they are carried out by a specific entity, a law enforcement agency - the National Police of Ukraine; in their essence they are a public service activity; the result of such procedures involves mandatory documentation – obtaining a document (permit or license) and/or making changes to registration documents or information databases; they mainly take place in the field of the permit system; they are implemented within the framework of the provision of paid services by police bodies; the initiators of these procedures are individuals and legal entities; they are carried out in relation to individual objects of the permit system and pyrotechnic devices, the manufacture of special devices loaded with tear and irritant substances, individual protection, active defense, the provision of services for the protection of property and citizens, as well as certain types of activities (transportation of oversized, heavy cargo, activities related to the provision of services by shooting ranges, etc.). The author’s definition of the concept of “registration and permit-licensing procedures in the activities of the National Police” has been proposed – these are successive legalized actions of a service nature, which are carried out by police bodies in the process of providing police services, upon completion of which an individual or legal entity receives a document (permit or license), which allows you to carry out various operations with objects of the permit system, items of individual protection and active defense, or provide specific services, in particular, guarding, maintenance of shooting ranges, transportation of oversized cargo.
