This article is devoted to the analysis of the processes of licensing and certification of transport services in Ukraine. The subject of the study is the process of licensing and certification of transport services, in particular the study of its efficiency, problems, prospects, and impact on the quality of the provision of transport services. The purpose of this article is to formulate recommendations for increasing the efficiency of licensing and certification procedures, considering modern trends in the development of transport in Ukraine. It examines the problems faced by transport companies and customers in these processes and offers ways to improve the system. The article addresses the following tasks: - conducting an analysis of modern trends in the development of licensing and certification processes under martial law; determination of the best European licensing experience and processes of its implementation in Ukraine; development of an algorithm for compliance with the requirements of licensing conditions by motor carriers in Ukraine. The article begins with a statement of the problem, in which insufficient efficiency and unreliability of the processes of licensing and certification of transport services are noted. It emphasizes the importance of safety, quality, and reliability in these processes, especially under martial law. The results of the study are an analysis of modern trends in the development of licensing and certification processes in the context of martial law, which indicates the tightening of security, revision of procedures, reduction of the volume of documentation, involvement of international assistance, use of technologies, and the need for flexibility and adaptation. In the future, possible ways of improving the licensing and certification systems are being investigated. They cover system reform, introduction of modern technologies, standards, and international practices. The authors of this article call for ensuring efficiency, transparency and safety in the processes of licensing and certification of transport services. Based on this analysis, the article provides valuable conclusions and recommendations for improving the system of licensing and certification of transport services in Ukraine. Because of the analysis, the article provides recommendations on the development of an algorithm for compliance with the requirements of licensing conditions by motor carriers in Ukraine. The algorithm for the implementation of licensing and certification of transport services has several key stages, which include application submission, analysis and verification, issuance of a license or certificate, and further supervision and control of the enterprise's activities. This algorithm helps ensure compliance with safety, quality, and other requirements in the field of transport services. It allows government bodies and regulators to monitor the activities of transport companies and ensure the safety and satisfaction of users' needs. Conclusions: Licensing and certification of transport services are necessary mechanisms to ensure safety, quality, and standards in this field. They help reduce risks for passengers, increase the reliability of services, and ensure compliance with established regulatory requirements. The process of licensing and certification of transport services can be complex and requires significant efforts on the part of operators and regulatory authorities. Effective simplification and standardization of procedures can facilitate their implementation and reduce bureaucratic obstacles. The presence of a clear legal framework regulating the licensing and certification of transport services is an important factor for ensuring transparency, stability, and trust in the system. It is necessary to ensure the compliance of legislation with international standards and best practices.
