About this area
One wrong document can cost weeks
An authority abroad may refuse a Soviet-era certificate, a translation in the wrong form or a power of attorney with unclear wording. We check the requirements first, obtain the right documents in Ukraine, arrange apostilles and translations, and send the originals to you.

Questions
Before you call, the essentials
Not covered here? Ask an attorney directly during your consultation.
Who issues an apostille in Ukraine?
It depends on the document: the Ministry of Justice for civil status, court and notarial documents, the Ministry of Education for diplomas, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for other documents.
Can I sign a power of attorney for Ukraine in another country?
Yes, at a Ukrainian consulate or before a local notary. A document certified by a local notary needs an apostille and a Ukrainian translation.
Can a Soviet-era certificate be apostilled?
Generally no. You need a new certificate or an extract from the Ukrainian civil registry, which we can request for you.
Should the translation be done before or after the apostille?
After, so that the apostille is translated together with the document.
How long does it take?
Usually from several working days to a few weeks, depending on the document and the authority.
Let's put an end to the uncertainty.
