19.11.2025 07:53:48 From a legal perspective, obtaining a Ukrainian passport for a newborn child in the UK through the Ukrainian Consulate in Manchester involves several steps under Ukrainian citizenship and consular laws. Note that both parents must typically be Ukrainian citizens for the child to qualify for citizenship by descent, or at least one parent if certain conditions are met. Here's the general process: 1. **Register the Child's Birth**: First, obtain the UK birth certificate for your newborn from the local registry office. This must be translated into Ukrainian by a certified translator and apostilled (legalized) by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office to be recognized in Ukraine. 2. **Register the Birth with Ukrainian Authorities**: Submit an application at the Ukrainian Consulate in Manchester to register the birth and obtain a Ukrainian birth registration certificate. Required documents include: the apostilled UK birth certificate with translation, parents' Ukrainian passports, marriage certificate (if applicable), and proof of Ukrainian citizenship. Both parents may need to attend in person. 3. **Apply for Ukrainian Citizenship Confirmation (if needed)**: If not automatically granted, confirm the child's Ukrainian citizenship through the consulate. 4. **Apply for the Passport**: Once the birth is registered and citizenship confirmed, submit a passport application at the consulate. Documents include: the Ukrainian birth registration, parents' IDs, photos of the child (specific size and format), and application forms. A consular fee applies. The entire process can take 1 to 3 months, depending on document preparation, consulate workload, and any expedited options. Processing for the passport itself is usually 1-2 months after submission. It's advisable to contact the consulate directly for the most current requirements, as laws can change.
19.11.2025 08:00:01 To obtain a Ukrainian passport for your newborn child through the Consulate in Manchester, you must first ensure that the child’s birth has been registered with Ukrainian authorities and that a Ukrainian birth certificate has been issued. If registration has not yet been completed, you can apply for both birth registration and passport issuance during the same appointment, provided you bring the original UK birth certificate (long version), parents’ Ukrainian passports, proof of legal stay in the UK, and, if applicable, a marriage certificate or documents confirming paternity. Once the child’s citizenship is confirmed, the Consulate will capture biometric data (photograph only for infants) and accept the passport application. Processing times vary, but typically range from 8 to 12 weeks depending on workload and production schedules in Ukraine. Booking an appointment through the Consulate’s online system is required.
19.11.2025 08:01:54 You may apply for your newborn’s Ukrainian passport at the Consulate in Manchester after establishing the child’s Ukrainian citizenship. This requires presenting the UK birth certificate showing at least one parent as a Ukrainian citizen, along with both parents’ passports and any documents confirming parental status or changes in personal data. If the child has not yet been registered in the Ukrainian civil registry, the Consulate will process both the birth registration and the passport application at the same visit. During the appointment, a consular officer will verify your documents, record the child’s personal details, and take a digital photograph. Infants are exempt from fingerprinting. After the application is forwarded to Ukraine for production, the standard processing timeframe is approximately 2–3 months, though delays may occur. An appointment is mandatory and must be scheduled online.
