The article examines the problem of delimitation of legal status: official and official. The category of legal status is an important component for every participant in public relations, because such a status will depend on the scope of his civil rights and responsibilities, which is especially relevant for an official or official. It was found that today the issues of the studied categories, namely «legal status of an official» and «legal status of an official» still remain relevant because there is no unanimous position for their delimitation. It is clear that the categories of «official», «official» occupy a leading position in the field of public administration, criminal law, litigation, other areas of law and legislation. These categories should be key in the preparation of regulations relating to the civil service, regulation of law enforcement agencies, determining the legal responsibility of persons holding certain positions in the civil service. Conclusions are made where, given that at the legislative level there is no single definition of «official» and «official», and the proposed definitions in legal science are mainly sectoral in nature, the priority is: first, the definition in the Law «On basics of civil service», which must be adopted, the concepts of «official» and «official» and their features. The task of today's legislator is the need to differentiate them. Therefore, when determining the grounds for assigning persons to the categories of officials or officials should be guided by the relevant legislation governing certain relations. Regarding the legal status of officials and officials, the conclusion was that a significant factor in distinguishing these categories, unfortunately, is not legal status, because without a clear distinction between the basic concepts of «official» and «official», we can not fully describe the differences in this status.
