We obtain your Ukrainian MIA criminal record certificate and deliver it to Poland without you travelling to Ukraine
If a voivodeship office (urząd wojewódzki), employer or foreign consulate asks for a Ukrainian certificate and you cannot travel or find a suitable appointment, our representative can obtain it. We handle the application, collection of the original and delivery.
You need a copy of your international passport and a notarised power of attorney. If needed, we arrange an apostille for your criminal record certificate in Ukraine.
For submission to a Polish institution, you can also order a sworn translation from Ukrainian into Polish.

How do I obtain a Ukrainian certificate while in Poland?
Discuss the order
Tell us where and when the certificate is needed. We calculate the price and identify the services required.
Prepare the documents
Provide your international passport copy and arrange a notarised power of attorney using the agreed wording.
Obtain the certificate in Ukraine
Our representative requests the official paper document. If needed, we arrange an apostille.
Deliver the result
We bring the original to Poland. Choose courier or InPost delivery when ordering.
Do you need a Ukrainian certificate or Polish KRK?
If the institution requests criminal record information from Ukraine, you need the Ukrainian extract. If it specifies a Polish certificate, the document is issued by KRK — Krajowy Rejestr Karny.
These are different documents. Ukrainian citizenship and residence in Poland do not by themselves determine which certificate to order.
Check the wording of the recipient’s requirements. We offer a separate service for obtaining a Polish KRK certificate.
What documents and power of attorney do I need to order?
For an order through a representative, prepare these documents and details:
-
Copy of international passport
You keep your original passport.
-
Notarised power of attorney
It must authorise the application and collection of the certificate. We explain how to provide the required power of attorney copy before starting.
-
Previous personal details
Tell us any previous surnames and given names.
-
Recipient’s requirements and submission date
State the institution, destination country, required date and any certificate requirements in the institution’s letter.
Before your notary appointment, we agree the wording and representative’s details. If you already have a power of attorney, we check whether its authority covers the order.
Which certificate should I choose: full or abbreviated?
-
Abbreviated certificate
Contains information on the presence or absence of convictions.
-
Full certificate
Also includes information on criminal proceedings against the person and restrictions under Ukrainian criminal procedure legislation.
The information included is described in the official Diia guide.
The recipient determines the type needed. If a full document is required, do not order the abbreviated version instead.
Send the institution’s letter or checklist and we will help choose the right version.
Will an electronic certificate suffice, or do I need a paper original?
-
Electronic certificate
Suitable if the institution accepts that format. An ordinary printout does not replace the official paper original.
-
Paper original
Needed when the recipient requires a paper document. Our representative obtains the paper certificate issued by Ukraine’s MIA.
You can also order a paper certificate yourself through the official Ukrainian MIA electronic service, including with an apostille.
If you already have an electronic certificate, show it to the recipient first. You may not need to order another copy for your submission.
Does a Ukrainian certificate need an apostille for Poland?
Ukrainian official documents covered by the Polish–Ukrainian legal assistance treaty are recognised without legalisation. An apostille is therefore not mandatory for every certificate used in Poland. Translation requirements are considered separately.
The legalisation exemption is explained by the Polish consular service.
In practice, recipients sometimes request an apostille despite the treaty exemption. If the recipient insists on one, we arrange an apostille for Ukrainian documents without you travelling to Ukraine.
For a foreign consulate, the destination country’s requirements apply. The Polish–Ukrainian treaty does not determine recognition in third countries.
When is a sworn Polish translation needed?
A sworn translation is needed when required by the procedure for submitting the Ukrainian document to a Polish institution.
We translate the complete prepared set. If an apostille is being arranged, we obtain it first, then pass the document and endorsement to the translator.
The name in the translation should match the documents used for submission. Tell us about spelling differences or name changes in advance.
Translate Service provides sworn translation of Ukrainian documents into Polish. We translate the certificate and apostille where included.
How long is a Ukrainian criminal record certificate valid?
Ukrainian law does not set an expiry period for the extract. This is stated in the Diia public services guide.
For use abroad, the specific procedure’s requirements apply. For example:
- Czech long-stay visa — documents generally must be no more than 180 days old.
- US immigrant visa — certificates have a two-year validity period, with a separate exception for a former country of residence.
These periods apply to the named procedures and do not set a general validity period for Ukrainian certificates in Poland.
