Does the Ukrainian Consulate in Manchester assist with translating or certifying UK birth certificates for use in Ukraine?

12.11.2025 12:48:06 The Ukrainian Consulate in Manchester does not directly provide translation services but can certify translations made by accredited translators. If you need to use a UK-issued birth certificate in Ukraine, the document must first be legalized with an apostille by the UK authorities (specifically, the Legalisation Office of the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office). Once apostilled, it should be translated into Ukrainian by a certified translator whose work can then be notarized or certified by the Consulate. The Consulate can verify the translator’s signature or certify the accuracy of the translation if the translation meets consular requirements. This ensures that the document is legally valid for submission to Ukrainian state institutions such as the Department of Civil Status Registration (RAGS) or migration authorities.

12.11.2025 12:57:30 The Consulate in Manchester may assist with certifying translations of birth certificates but does not itself perform translation. To make a UK birth certificate acceptable in Ukraine, the standard process involves three steps: (1) obtain an apostille from the UK Legalisation Office, (2) have the document translated into Ukrainian by a qualified translator, and (3) request the Consulate to authenticate the translator’s signature or certify the translation’s conformity with the original. This consular certification confirms that the translation is accurate and can be used for official procedures in Ukraine, including citizenship confirmation, passport issuance for a child, or registration of birth in Ukrainian civil registries. It is recommended to contact the Consulate in advance to confirm the list of approved translators and required fees.
