Theoretical and legal concept of identification in the system of contemporary law.

The article examines the phenomenon of legal identification as a key element of the legal regulation mechanism. The author analyzes the content and forms of identification concerning subjects, objects, and recipients of legal prescriptions, revealing its significance for ensuring legal certainty and the effectiveness of law enforcement. Particular attention is paid to the identification of citizens and officials, including police officers, as well as identification processes concerning objects of civil rights, such as plots of land. Statistical data from judicial practice regarding disputes related to cadastral registration and the establishment of land boundaries are presented. In conclusion, the necessity of forming a unified approach to identification within the legal system and improving regulatory regulation in the context of the digitization of social relations is emphasized. The research methodology includes legal-theoretical, systemic, and comparative legal approaches, analysis of judicial practice, and statistical data. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the comprehensive examination of the phenomenon of legal identification as a key mechanism of legal regulation, encompassing both subjects and objects of legal relations. The author proposes a conceptual understanding of the phenomenon of identification. The study reveals the importance of legal identification for ensuring the clarity of norm application, preventing legal conflicts, and enhancing the effectiveness of law enforcement. Furthermore, the novelty of the research lies in substantiating the need to form unified approaches to identification and improve regulatory regulation taking into account the digitization of social relations, which has not previously been comprehensively addressed in domestic legal science. The author's analysis shows that insufficient unification of identification procedures leads to legal uncertainty and increases the risks of disputes arising in both the public interest sphere and private legal relations.
