Birth Certificate from Ukraine — Document Retrieval Service

Surely. Please fill out the request form and specify information you have and requirements to be fulfilled.

Full legalization for obtained birth certificates/extracts I received could be provided by request. Apostillization by Hague Convention 1961 is possible for birth certificates and birth extracts received from Ukrainian civil registry offices and for archival birth certificates. However, this is an additional service.

When documents are issued by civil registry offices in Ukraine (records under 76 years old), processing usually takes 1–3 weeks. Meanwhile, if the documents come from Ukrainian archives (records older than 76 years), the timeframe extends to about 4–5 weeks.

In fact, it’s always best to arrange the sworn translation directly in the country where the document will be used for the smoothest process.

Yes, of course. Thus, I will provide you with a content of the birth document from Ukraine.

Ukrainian birth certificate is an official document proving registration of birth in Ukraine and issued by the competent civil registration office on a special form with multi-level protection, and contains the following information:

• Full name of the child
• Child’s date of the birth
• Child’s place of the birth (for records after 1958)
• Full names of the parents
• Parents’ citizenship (for records after 1969)
• Where and where the birth registration took place

Although, current Ukrainian birth certificate does not contain parents’ nationality/ethnicity, this information could be provided in birth extract.

Usually, obtaining a birth certificate in Ukraine for a record less than 76 years old requires 1–3 weeks.

Ukrainian birth extract is an official document proving registration of birth in Ukraine and issued by the competent civil registration office on a regular paper. It contains full name of the child, date of the birth, place of the birth (for records after 1958), full names of the parents, where and where the birth registration took place. Moreover, unlike a birth certificate, birth extract from Ukraine contains information about the nationality/ethnicity recorded in the birth record.

Getting a birth extract in Ukraine for a record less than 76 years old also takes approximately 1–3 weeks.

A birth record is the primary document on the basis of which all documents about a person’s birth, such as a birth certificate or birth extract, are issued. Notably, the only connection between a birth record and previously issued birth certificates is the notes on earlier issued duplicate certificates. Very often, old birth certificates contain incomplete or inaccurate information compared to the original birth record. Such errors could have appeared due to the human factor of the person issuing the birth certificate.

A certified copy of the birth record from Ukraine is an official paper copy (scanned or photocopy) of the original of some birth record with originality certification, issued by competent civil registration office or archival institution in Ukraine. Certified copies of birth records could be provided for birth acts taken place more than 76 years ago.

If birth registered more than 76 years ago, it takes 3-7 weeks to get a certified copy of the birth record in Ukraine.

You may provide complete information in the request form and specify requirements to be fulfilled. Furthermore, incomplete information about the birth should be processed through the Expertise, that paid separately.

If a birth was registered less than 76 years ago, you will need to provide the following documents:

• Firstly, a notarized power of attorney with an apostille and sworn translation into Ukrainian
• Additionally, notarized copies of birth and marriage documents, proving your family ties with the person, whose birth document you need. Similarly, all these notarized copies should be with an apostille and sworn translation into Ukrainian

In case of difficulties with the PoA, please let me know, there is always an option to get documents you need.

When a birth was registered more than 76 years ago, no documents are required.
