12.11.2025 12:49:08 The Ukrainian Consulate in Edinburgh can assist with verifying and certifying pension-related documents issued in Ukraine but does not directly confirm the amount or continuity of pension payments. If UK authorities require confirmation of your pension status, you may request the Consulate to notarize or authenticate documents such as pension certificates, statements, or letters provided by the Pension Fund of Ukraine. The Consulate can also issue a consular certificate confirming that you are a registered Ukrainian citizen residing in the UK and entitled to receive a pension from Ukraine. However, the actual verification of pension data must be done by the Pension Fund of Ukraine, which can send official confirmation directly or through the Consulate upon your written request. It is advisable to provide originals and certified translations of all pension documents when submitting them to UK authorities.
12.11.2025 12:58:02 The Consulate of Ukraine in Edinburgh may provide limited assistance regarding pension verification. It can authenticate Ukrainian pension documents, such as certificates or letters from the Pension Fund, to confirm their legitimacy for submission to British institutions. While the Consulate cannot independently issue or verify pension records, it can facilitate communication with the Pension Fund of Ukraine upon your written authorization. In some cases, the Consulate may issue a formal note or certificate confirming that you are a Ukrainian pensioner living abroad, which can be useful for social or financial procedures in the UK. To ensure acceptance by UK authorities, you should first obtain the original pension confirmation from Ukraine, have it translated into English by a certified translator, and then request the Consulate’s notarization or legalization of both the document and the translation.
