Consultation on Legalising Foreign Documents for Use in Ukraine

Legalisation of foreign documents is a mandatory procedure for anyone intending to officially use such documents in Ukraine. This service is especially relevant for individuals who obtained documents in the United Kingdom (civil registry records, powers of attorney, court decisions, diplomas, etc.) and plan to submit them to Ukrainian government bodies, courts, educational institutions or notaries. It is also necessary for Ukrainians who acquired British citizenship, got married or divorced there, had a child or settled inheritance matters — and now require recognition of those documents in Ukraine.

Requesting a Consultation on Legalisation Procedures for Ukraine

Determining the correct type of legalisation — apostille, consular legalisation or another process — is only possible through professional legal consultation.

Consultant’s legal team:

provides a legal opinion on the specific document and its intended use in Ukraine;
explains whether legalisation is required or if notarisation is sufficient;
advises on how to submit documents to the relevant British or Ukrainian authorities;
helps avoid double legalisation or other errors that may lead to rejection in Ukraine;
communicates with British institutions or notaries if procedural clarification is needed.

This consultation helps clients save time, prepare correctly and submit documents without risk of refusal.

verify whether a Ukrainian translation is needed and how it should be formatted;

Legalising Personal, Educational and Corporate Documents — Consultation Based on Document Type

The type of document determines which legalisation procedure applies.

During the consultation, lawyers:

identify the document type (birth, marriage, diploma, court ruling, power of attorney, contract, etc.);
assess whether the document is public, private or issued by a notary;
distinguish procedures for personal, educational and business documents (the latter may require extra steps);
advise on how to obtain a duplicate if the original is lost;
clarify whether legalisation must be duplicated for multiple institutions in Ukraine.

A tailored approach to document type helps avoid excessive bureaucracy and ensures the correct submission package.
