My child was born in the UK to Ukrainian parents. Can the Consulate in Edinburgh confirm and register their Ukrainian citizenship?

11.11.2025 12:43:17 Yes, the Ukrainian Consulate in Edinburgh can confirm and register Ukrainian citizenship for a child born in the United Kingdom to Ukrainian parents. Under the Law of Ukraine “On Citizenship”, a child automatically acquires Ukrainian citizenship at birth if both parents are Ukrainian citizens, regardless of birthplace. The Consulate’s role is to formalize this status through the registration of citizenship and, if desired, the issuance of a Ukrainian passport or travel document. To proceed, parents must submit the child’s UK birth certificate (legalized or apostilled and translated into Ukrainian), parents’ Ukrainian passports, and a joint written application. If only one parent is applying, consent from the other is typically required. Once verified, the Consulate issues a certificate of citizenship confirmation and records the child in Ukraine’s State Register, enabling future passport applications and consular services.

11.11.2025 12:50:56 The Ukrainian Consulate in Edinburgh is authorized to process citizenship confirmation for children born abroad to Ukrainian nationals. When both parents hold Ukrainian citizenship, the child automatically becomes a Ukrainian citizen from birth, but this must be formally registered through the Consulate. The parents should present the original UK birth certificate with an apostille, an official Ukrainian translation, and valid Ukrainian passports. If one parent is foreign, additional documentation—such as a declaration of the child’s choice of citizenship—may be required. After verifying the documents and confirming eligibility, the Consulate issues a Certificate of Citizenship Confirmation and can subsequently accept an application for a Ukrainian travel document or passport. This process ensures that the child’s citizenship rights are fully recognized under Ukrainian law, even while residing in the UK.
