Legalization of certificate

When planning a trip abroad, it is important to be aware of the requirements of a particular state in relation to the documents of Ukrainian guests.

Thus, a number of countries that did not participate in the Hague Convention require consular legalization of documents for their legal use on their territory. Otherwise, any Ukrainian document, including certificates issued in the Civil Registry Office, will have no legal force in foreign bodies and institutions.

It is quite difficult to arrange legalization on your own. This will require a lot of time and iron patience. In addition, it is important to know about the features and all the nuances of conducting formal processes, because for each country, the legalization procedure may differ.

Features of document legalization

Legalization of a marriage or birth certificate requires careful and meticulous attention. Any flaw in the paperwork can make the document invalid for the host country.

One of the important stages of the procedure is the translation of the document. But it is important to consider that not all countries will accept a regular translation; some countries request translations made exclusively by accredited translators. Among such countries, for example, is Italy. In this case, the certificate must be notarized.

Before you apply for the legalization of a birth or marriage certificate, you should prepare the document. It must meet certain standards:

• do not have lamination;
• be whole (absence of defects, damage and blurred, unclear data);
• be designed in accordance with the new model.

If a document requiring legalization is lost, it is requested from the issuing authority.
