Is it possible to register a marriage or obtain a marriage certificate through the Ukrainian Consulate in Manchester?

28.10.2025 09:52:11 As of my last update, Ukrainian consulates generally do not have the authority to register marriages or issue marriage certificates. Typically, marriages are registered in the country where they take place, and marriage certificates are issued by the local civil registry office (often called a "ZAGS" in Ukraine). If you were married abroad and need to have your marriage recognized in Ukraine, you would usually need to register it with the appropriate Ukrainian authorities. This often involves submitting your foreign marriage certificate for recognition at a local civil registry office in Ukraine. For specific services provided by the Ukrainian Consulate in Manchester or any changes to these procedures, it's best to contact the consulate directly or check their official website for the most current information. They can provide guidance on what steps need to be taken for registering a foreign marriage or obtaining necessary documentation.

28.10.2025 16:00:29 Under Ukrainian law, consular offices may perform civil registration acts, including marriage registration, only between Ukrainian citizens and strictly in accordance with the Family Code of Ukraine and the Consular Statute. However, the Ukrainian Consulate in Manchester does not currently perform marriage registration or issue marriage certificates. Such acts are handled by the Embassy in London or the Consulate in Edinburgh, depending on jurisdiction. In the UK, marriages are legally registered under British law at local registry offices, and the resulting UK marriage certificate must then be legalized (apostilled) and, if necessary, translated into Ukrainian for recognition in Ukraine. The Consulate can only register or note such a marriage in Ukrainian records, not conduct the ceremony itself.

28.10.2025 16:03:42 You cannot legally marry at the Ukrainian Consulate in Manchester, as it doesn’t have civil registry authority. Instead, Ukrainian citizens residing in the UK must marry under British law at a local register office. After obtaining the UK marriage certificate, you may have it apostilled by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office and translated into Ukrainian by a certified translator. The Ukrainian consular office can then record or notarize the fact of marriage for Ukrainian civil records or update your passport data (e.g., surname change). For official recognition in Ukraine, submit the legalized and translated certificate to the State Registry Office (RACS/DRATS) upon return.
