Is it possible to obtain a Ukrainian birth certificate for a child born in Scotland through the Consulate in Edinburgh, and what is the processing time?

05.11.2025 11:09:22 Yes, the Consulate of Ukraine in Edinburgh can issue a Ukrainian birth certificate for a child born in Scotland if at least one parent holds Ukrainian citizenship. The process involves registering the child’s birth in the Consular Register of Civil Status Acts in accordance with the Family Code of Ukraine. Parents must submit the original UK birth certificate bearing an apostille from the UK authorities, its certified translation into Ukrainian, valid passports of both parents, proof of lawful residence in the UK, and a marriage certificate if applicable. If the parents are unmarried, a joint declaration of paternity is required. Once the application is accepted, it is forwarded to the Civil Status Registration Office (DRACS) in Ukraine for processing. The average processing time is approximately 2–3 months, depending on document verification and delivery from Ukraine. All submissions require a prior appointment via the Consulate’s online booking system.

05.11.2025 11:11:38 A Ukrainian birth certificate for a child born in Scotland may be obtained through the Ukrainian Consulate in Edinburgh, provided that one or both parents are Ukrainian citizens. The Consulate registers the birth under Ukrainian law, ensuring that the child is officially recognized as a Ukrainian national. Required documents include the child’s original UK birth certificate legalized with an apostille, a notarized Ukrainian translation, parents’ passports, marriage certificate (if applicable), and an application form signed by both parents. In cases of unmarried parents, proof of paternity acknowledgment must be submitted. After verification, the Consulate transmits the documents to Ukraine for issuance of the birth certificate, which is later sent back to Edinburgh for collection. The entire procedure usually takes between 8 and 12 weeks, though timelines may vary depending on administrative coordination with Ukrainian authorities.
