If one parent is not Ukrainian, can the Embassy in London confirm my child’s Ukrainian citizenship and issue the necessary documents for registration?

27.11.2025 13:32:54 Так, Посольство України в Лондоні може підтвердити громадянство вашої дитини та видати необхідні документи для реєстрації, навіть якщо один із батьків не є громадянином України. Важливо, щоб хоча б один із батьків був громадянином України на момент народження дитини. Зверніться до Посольства з відповідними документами: свідоцтвом про народження дитини, документами, що підтверджують громадянство одного з батьків та, за потреби, документами іншого з батьків. Консульство проведе перевірку та видасть підтвердження громадянства або інші необхідні документи.

27.11.2025 13:32:56 From a legal perspective under Ukrainian law, a child can acquire Ukrainian citizenship by birth if at least one parent is a Ukrainian citizen at the time of the child's birth, regardless of the other parent's nationality or the place of birth. This is based on the principle of jus sanguinis (right of blood). The Ukrainian Embassy in London can confirm the child's Ukrainian citizenship and assist with the necessary registration documents, such as registering the birth and issuing a citizenship confirmation or passport. You would typically need to provide documents like the child's birth certificate, proof of the Ukrainian parent's citizenship, and possibly other identification. However, the exact procedures may require an appointment and compliance with specific requirements, so it's advisable to contact the embassy directly for personalized guidance.

28.11.2025 10:45:47 Yes, the Ukrainian Embassy in London can confirm a child’s Ukrainian citizenship even if only one parent is a Ukrainian national. Under Ukrainian law, a child automatically acquires Ukrainian citizenship by descent when at least one parent is a Ukrainian citizen at the moment of birth. The Embassy’s function is to verify this and register the child accordingly. You will need the child’s UK birth certificate (with apostille), a certified Ukrainian translation, the Ukrainian parent’s passport and proof of citizenship, the foreign parent’s passport, and a written declaration confirming parentage and consent. After verification, the Embassy can register the child, enter their details into the state civil registry, and issue the necessary documents—such as a certificate confirming citizenship and, if requested, a Ukrainian passport. We can guide you on document preparation to avoid delays.

28.11.2025 10:56:15 The Embassy in London can confirm your child’s Ukrainian citizenship even if the other parent is not Ukrainian. Citizenship is granted automatically through the Ukrainian parent, so the Embassy’s job is to document this and process the registration. To apply, you must provide the child’s UK birth certificate with a Hague apostille, an accurate Ukrainian translation, the Ukrainian parent’s passport, the second parent’s ID, and a short parental consent or statement acknowledging the child’s nationality. After reviewing the documents, the Embassy can issue confirmation of citizenship and register the birth in the Ukrainian civil registry. Once registration is complete, you may also apply for the child’s first Ukrainian passport. We can assist with translations, apostille requirements, and preparing the full application package.
