І. Apostille
An apostille is a special stamp affixed to an official document, which was issued in a country, to certify the authenticity. Once an apostille is affixed, the document becomes fully legal in the other country.
Apostille can be affixed by the following agencies:
- The Ministry of Justice of Ukraine (MOJ);
- The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine (MOFA);
- The Ministry of Education of Ukraine.
An apostille can be only affixed to the documents issued by official bodies:
- Personal documents:
- diplomas, archive transcripts, training programmes, educational certificates;
- different types of certificates (clear criminal record, residence, health status);
- documents issued by civil registry offices (marriage certificates, birth certificates, certificate of dissolution of marriage, etc.);
- documents made up by a notary (applications, statements, powers of attorney, affidavits, etc.).
- Corporate documents (registration certificate, powers of attorney, articles of association, etc.).
II. Legalization
Consular legalization of official documents is a procedure of certification of authenticity of originals of official documents or authenticity of signatures of officials authorized to certify signatures on documents and seals and stamps affixed to a document.
Procedure of consular legalization of official documents issued by or executed with participation of government agencies and local authorities, both in Ukraine and abroad, is governed by the Instruction on the Procedure of Consular Legalization of Official Documents in Ukraine and Abroad.
The following two consular legalization procedures are the most widely used:
- Legalization in the country where a document was issued.
- Legalization in the country where a document will be used.
Consular Service Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine legalizes documents issued by Ukrainian government agencies and organizations and intended for use abroad.
