Can the Embassy in London legalise my Ukrainian employment documents or certificates so they can be officially recognised by my UK employer?

14.11.2025 13:56:00 The Ukrainian Embassy in London can provide consular legalisation or certification of certain Ukrainian documents, such as employment certificates, to confirm their authenticity. However, for your documents to be officially recognised by a UK employer, you typically need to have them notarised and then apostilled in Ukraine before consular legalisation in the UK. UK employers may require documents to be translated and certified as well. You should contact the Ukrainian Embassy for specific procedures and ensure your UK employer’s requirements are fully met.

14.11.2025 13:56:06 From a legal perspective, the Ukrainian Embassy in London can provide consular legalisation services for Ukrainian-issued documents, such as employment certificates, to make them officially recognised in the UK. However, since both Ukraine and the UK are parties to the Hague Apostille Convention, obtaining an apostille from the relevant Ukrainian authority (e.g., the Ministry of Justice or Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Ukraine) is often the standard and sufficient method for documents to be accepted in the UK without further legalisation. The embassy may authenticate documents if they lack an apostille or for specific requirements. It is advisable to contact the embassy directly to confirm the exact process, required fees, and whether your specific documents qualify, as procedures can vary based on the document type and purpose.

17.11.2025 11:59:41 The Embassy of Ukraine in London may provide certain notarial and consular actions related to the authentication of Ukrainian documents; however, it is important to understand that the Embassy does not issue apostilles and cannot replace the official Ukrainian authorities responsible for legalisation. If your employment documents or certificates were originally issued in Ukraine, they must first undergo proper Ukrainian domestic legalisation — typically through the Ministry of Justice or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, depending on the document type. Once the apostille or state certification is applied in Ukraine, the documents are generally recognised by UK employers without any additional UK-side procedures because both countries are parties to the Hague Convention. The Embassy may certify copies or translations in certain cases, but it does not legalise employment records for UK use.
