Do you need an original marriage certificate for divorce in Ukraine?
The answer to this question is – you need a copy of your marriage certificate! The original of this document is not required. Many people also have a question: is a notarized copy suitable? Yes.
Thus, it will not be possible to part without a marriage certificate at all. You can get either a duplicate of it from the registry office, or if you have a copy of the certificate, provide these copies of the court.
Will a laminated certificate work in Ukraine?
A laminated marriage certificate will work in the same way as a non-laminated one. This is done in order to maintain the integrity and appearance of the document. The legislation of Ukraine does not provide for any restrictions on the possibility of laminating a marriage certificate.
How to get a duplicate marriage certificate in Ukraine?
Before going on a “new” certificate, you must:
- remember where the marriage was registered, the name of the registry office;
- also, when obtaining a marriage certificate, it is advisable to remember the act record number and, of course, the date of marriage registration.
Quite often, it is not so easy to obtain a second marriage certificate, especially when it comes to the old-style certificate of the nineties.
The algorithm of actions upon receipt of a repeated certificate is as follows:
- You come to the registry office, wait for your turn, on average, waiting takes 1-1.5 hours.
- Then the specialist issues a receipt for payment of the state duty, which you pay at the terminal, bank or directly at the registry office by the terminal.
Keep a close eye on the bank operator, because even a minor mistake in the payer’s name will lead to the fact that such a receipt will not be accepted from you. If another person paid for it, the registry office will have to write an additional statement on the acceptance of this payment on your behalf.
If the evidence is foreign in Ukraine
This case is more complicated because, as a rule, a duplicate certificate can only be obtained from the competent authorities of the country where the original was issued. In addition, such a certificate in most cases must be apostilled or legalized (depending on the agreements between Ukraine and this country) for its recognition on the territory of Ukraine.
For example, if the marriage was concluded in China, the document does not need to do anything, since Ukraine and China have concluded an agreement on legal assistance in civil and criminal cases, according to which official documents issued on the territory of one of the countries are recognized without legalization on the territory of another.
If the marriage is concluded on the territory of Egypt, the certificate is subject to legalization on the territory of Egypt. This cannot be done on the territory of Ukraine. For legalization, you first need to contact the legalization department in Egypt to obtain a legalization department stamp on the original Egyptian marriage contract. Then translate an Egyptian marriage contract (with a stamp from the legalization department) into Ukrainian. On the issue of translation, you can contact any company that provides this service or resort to the help of a private translator. Then contact Embassy of Ukraine in the Arab Republic of Egypt [/ mask_link] for consular legalization.
If the marriage is concluded in a state that is a party to the Hague Convention, the document must be apostilled.
