An analysis of integrity as a principle of public service in Ukraine was conducted, the essence, characteristic features of integrity as a principle of public service, stages, features and trends of the genesis of its doctrinal research and modern regulatory and legal consolidation, practical implementation in procedural and delict aspects, the main directions of improvement of normative consolidation and implementation, legal regulation of integrity as a principle of public service in Ukraine are highlighted. The provisions of the legal doctrine regarding the consideration of public service as a sphere of objectification of integrity have been studied and summarized, the author's definition of public service as a sphere of objectification of integrity is proposed - it is a professional, permanent activity of persons in positions of state bodies, oriented towards the practical implementation of the tasks and functions of the state , which is carried out in compliance with the principles of public service, with remuneration - a salary consisting of a position salary, an allowance for years of service, an allowance for the rank of a civil servant, a bonus (if established) and is financed from the state budget of Ukraine.
