27.11.2025 13:32:29 Так, ви можете оновити свій сімейний стан у державних актах цивільного стану України через Консульство України в Манчестері. Для цього вам зазвичай потрібно подати заяву, паспорт громадянина України, свідоцтво про шлюб або розірвання шлюбу (оригінал та копію), документ про зміну стану (наприклад, рішення суду або інший підтверджуючий документ), а також, за потреби, переклади англійських документів українською мовою, засвідчені відповідним чином. Також може знадобитися сплатити консульський збір. Рекомендується уточнити точний перелік документів і процедуру безпосередньо у Консульстві перед подачею.
27.11.2025 13:32:33 From a legal perspective, yes, it is possible for Ukrainian citizens to update their marital status in Ukrainian civil records through the Ukrainian Consulate in Manchester, as consulates handle certain civil registry services for citizens abroad. This typically includes registering marriages, divorces, or changes in marital status that occurred outside Ukraine. To do so, you generally need to submit: - A completed application form (available from the consulate). - Your Ukrainian passport or other identification. - Original documents proving the change in marital status, such as a marriage certificate, divorce decree, or death certificate of a spouse (these must often be apostilled or legalized and translated into Ukrainian if not in Ukrainian). - Proof of residence in the consular district (e.g., UK residence permit or utility bill). - Payment of consular fees. Requirements can vary based on specific circumstances, so it's advisable to contact the consulate directly for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
28.11.2025 10:45:11 Yes, the Ukrainian Consulate in Manchester can assist with updating your marital status in Ukrainian civil records, but the update is ultimately carried out by the Ukrainian civil registry authorities (DRATs). The consulate’s role is to accept your application, certify your signature, prepare consular confirmations, and forward the documents to Ukraine. To update your status—whether due to marriage, divorce, or name change—you must provide your Ukrainian passport, the UK civil status document (marriage certificate, divorce order, or deed poll), an apostille issued by UK authorities, and a certified Ukrainian translation. If your change is connected to a UK court decision, the consulate may also request a legalised copy. We can help prepare your full application package and ensure your documents meet Ukrainian registry requirements.
28.11.2025 10:55:43 You can update your marital status through the Consulate in Manchester, but the change itself is registered in Ukraine. The consulate collects your documents, verifies your identity, and sends the application to the appropriate civil registry office. For a marriage or divorce recorded in the UK, you will need the original UK certificate or court order, a Hague apostille from the UK Legalisation Office, and a certified translation into Ukrainian. Your Ukrainian passport, ID number (if available), and a completed consular form are also required. Once the documents reach Ukraine, the civil registry updates your record and issues a new certificate. The consulate will inform you when it is ready for collection. We can guide you through preparing translations, obtaining an apostille, and submitting everything correctly to avoid delays.
