. The relevance of the subject of the scientific article is due to the entry into force of the Law of Ukraine “On Administrative Procedure”, which introduces into legal circulation categories that were not previously inherent in the Ukrainian legal system. Among them, a special place belongs to the “administrative act”. Attention in the article is focused on the issues of the validity of the administrative act, because in legal science they were disclosed rather fragmentary and require further research, in connection with the introduction of the rules of the general administrative procedure into the practice of public administration. Analysis of the provisions of the Law of Ukraine “On Administrative Procedure” allowed the author to draw a conclusion about the possibility of using the terms “validity” and “action” of the act as synonyms. In the work, the validity of an administrative act denotes its main property, which is the ability to cause legal consequences for participants in administrative proceedings.

 The purpose of the scientific article is to analyze the administrative law formed in the doctrine, taking into account the normative provisions of the ZAP of general and special rules of force and termination of administrative acts.

It is determined that the validity (action) of an administrative act has certain limits in time, which are determined by the beginning of the action and the loss of force. To establish the beginning of the administrative act, the author singled out four elements for which the ZAP puts forward rather specific requirements. These include: 1) the moment of entry into force; 2) fixing bringing to the attention of the person; 3) method of proof; 4) the obligation of the administrative body to prove the fact and time of delivery of the act.

It is stated that the Law of Ukraine “On Administrative Procedure”, unlike the previous legislation, clearly defines the mechanisms for termination of the administrative act, depending on what the administrative act is: unlawful or lawful; favorable or negative for the person; requires execution or not.
