Does your submission need an apostille?

For Ukrainian documents submitted in Poland, we first check the exemption under Article 15 of the bilateral treaty. Apostille is not automatically required for every document.

  1. Document and recipient

    We establish the issuing and destination countries, institution, category and document status. Being in Poland and using a document in Poland are different circumstances.

  2. Another destination country

    We check any more favourable treaty and whether the Hague Convention applies between the two countries. If necessary, we consider consular legalisation.

  3. Scope of certification

    Apostille certifies the signature, capacity and seal. It does not guarantee acceptance of contents, recognition of qualifications or enforcement of a judgment.

The exemption covers properly issued official documents and certified copies and translations covered by the treaty. Ordinary photocopies are not automatically included. Translation, certificate validity and recognition of contents are checked separately.

Which authorities in Ukraine are authorised to issue apostilles?

The authorised body depends on the type of document. We arrange submission and collection.

If you are comparing the procedure in the issuing country with the Polish route, check which authority issues apostilles in Poland. The guide explains why translating a foreign original does not turn it into a Polish document.

For a court judgment, first consider the issuing and destination countries. The Polish procedure and MSZ tariff do not apply to apostilling a foreign court signature.

Where to obtain an apostille for Ukrainian documents
CategoryCompetent authorityAccepted documentPreliminary step and result
Civil registryUkraine's Ministry of Justice; submission through authorised civil-registry offices, notaries or UkrderzharkhivOfficial certificate or appropriate replacementSignature and seal checks; Justice Ministry apostille on the selected document
EducationUkraine's Ministry of Education and Science; preparation through official ENICDiploma, school certificate and supplement, according to Ministry requirementsEducation-document checks; Education Ministry apostille. Diploma and supplement are counted separately
Criminal recordUkraine's Ministry of Internal AffairsProper paper extract issued by the Internal Affairs MinistryThe extract is issued first, followed by Internal Affairs Ministry apostille. An ordinary printout of an electronic response does not replace the paper document
Notarial documentsMinistry of Justice of UkraineNotarial document or permitted certification of a copy/translationChecking the notarial act; apostille certifies the notary's signature
Court documentsMinistry of Justice of UkraineProperly issued court documentChecking details; apostille does not replace recognition or enforcement of the judgment

Court documents issued in Poland have a separate service — court judgment apostille. For documents issued elsewhere, we determine the apostille requirement and competent authority separately.

Which documents do you need to provide?

Start by sending photos of every page, stamp and attachment. Before you send the original, we will agree which version and authorisation are needed.

  1. Scan for preliminary checks

    Send all pages, reverse sides, seals and attachments. A scan helps select the procedure but does not replace the document accepted by the Ukrainian authority.

  2. Original and notarised copy

    Apostille on the original document and on a notarial certification are different results. We first check which one the recipient accepts.

  3. Replacement or USSR-era document

    If a document is lost, replacement issuance is checked separately. USSR-era documents are assessed by authority and category; education documents have specific Ministry rules. Not all older documents automatically need replacing.

Should you translate the document before or after the apostille?

If the apostille certifies the original document, translation follows so that it includes both the document and the apostille. We explain whether to get an apostille before or after translation, and what to do if your translation is already complete.

  1. Apostille on the original document

    If the original document is certified, the complete set is usually translated after apostille, so the recipient receives a translation of both the document and certification.

  2. Notarised copy or translation

    Certifying a copy or a translator’s signature changes what the apostille authenticates. If the recipient requires the translation itself to be certified, we will check the procedure for a document translation apostille and whether that result meets the submission requirements.

  3. Translation for the recipient

    For submission to a Polish institution, we will confirm whether you need a sworn translation of the document. Translation requirements for other countries are checked separately.

How can you check an issued apostille?

Before returning the documents, we check their details and the apostille. The verification method depends on the issuing authority.

  1. Justice Ministry apostille

    Checked in Ukraine's official Justice Ministry Electronic Apostille Register using the completed apostille's details. This is separate from the education apostille system. Official source: Ukraine Justice Ministry Electronic Apostille Register.

  2. Education Ministry apostille

    Use the Education Ministry's official verification service. Compare the number, date and details with the diploma or supplement received. Official source: Education Ministry apostille verification.

  3. Checking the document set

    We check the document, signatures, seals, apostille attachment and translation of the whole set. A register entry does not guarantee the institution's acceptance of the contents.

What if your document with an apostille is rejected?

Ask for the reason for rejection in writing. We will identify whether the document, apostille or translation needs correcting, or whether something is missing.

  1. Apostille requested despite an exemption

    Ask for the requirement and its basis in writing. We check the treaty and document; one institution's requirement is not a nationwide rule.

  2. Incorrect details or document format

    Send all pages, order details and a description of the error. We establish whether the original, certification or translation needs correction. Do not alter seals or document binding yourself.

  3. Rejection relating to content

    An apostille does not resolve certificate validity, recognition of qualifications or enforcement of judgments. We examine the recipient's requirement and possible next steps.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Translate Service arranges the service without your travelling. We first check the document, required authority and authorisation for each action; handover and collection are recorded in the order.

In ENIC's published procedure, the diploma and supplement are counted separately. We agree the set and estimate after reviewing both documents.

We first check the issued format and Internal Affairs Ministry and recipient requirements. An ordinary printout of an electronic response is not a proper paper extract for apostille.

We first check the Article 15 bilateral-treaty exemption, official document and recipient requirements. Apostille is not automatically needed for every Ukrainian document; translation and validity are checked separately.

Yes. Send all pages and specify the country and institution of submission. We check the category, details and appropriate document; hand over the original after agreeing the procedure.

The starting price does not replace a full estimate. Before ordering, we agree the pricing unit, preparation, official fee, replacement issuance, prior certification, translation and delivery, including what is included or charged separately.

Authorisation depends on the document, authority and action. Replacement issuance, apostille submission and collection are checked separately. We agree the required set before you hand over the original.

The total timescale includes preparation and authorisation, obtaining missing documents, queues, authority processing, translation and shipping. We agree the starting point and express availability after checking the set.

The order depends on the recipient. Translation may first be needed for a notarial act; after apostille, the document and certification are translated for submission. We confirm the accepted result and whether sworn translation is needed.

After initial checks, we agree the document, procedure, authorisation and handover address. The order records delivery, tracking, return, costs and responsibility for the original. We check the completed set before returning it.
