How can I update my surname in my Ukrainian passport after marriage through the Embassy in London, and what proof is required?

11.11.2025 12:42:35 To update your surname in a Ukrainian passport after marriage, you must first ensure your marriage certificate is legally valid in Ukraine. If it was issued in the UK, it must be legalized or apostilled and then translated into Ukrainian by a certified translator. The Ukrainian Embassy in London does not directly amend existing passports but can accept an application for a new biometric passport reflecting your new surname. You will need to provide your current Ukrainian passport, the legalized marriage certificate with translation, and two passport photographs. The Embassy will submit your biometric data and forward your application to the State Migration Service of Ukraine for processing. Once approved, the new passport will be issued under your updated surname. Alternatively, if you need to travel urgently, the Embassy can issue a temporary travel document until the new passport is ready.

11.11.2025 12:50:27 If you were married in the UK and wish to change your surname in your Ukrainian passport, the procedure must be carried out through the Ukrainian Embassy in London. The Embassy does not physically alter your current passport but facilitates the issuance of a new one with the updated surname. To proceed, you must provide: (1) your valid or expired Ukrainian passport, (2) a marriage certificate legalized with an apostille under the 1961 Hague Convention, (3) a certified Ukrainian translation of the certificate, and (4) proof of name change consistency on other documents, if applicable. You will also need to appear in person for biometric data capture. The Embassy sends the application to the State Migration Service of Ukraine, where the new passport is printed and later delivered to London. Processing may take several weeks, depending on workload and document verification timelines.
