When abroad, you may be required to provide specific documents. One such important document is a certificate of marital status, which confirms that a person is not married. This certificate is often required to marry a foreign citizen or for other purposes.
Obtaining this certificate in another country may seem like a difficult task, but in fact there are several convenient and effective ways. In this article, we will tell you in detail how to obtain a certificate of marital status while outside of Ukraine, and how you can simplify this process by contacting Pereklad Bureau.
What is a certificate of marital status and why is it needed?
A certificate of marital status (sometimes called a "certificate of no marriage") is an official document issued by the Ukrainian Civil Registry Offices. It confirms that a person is not in a registered marriage at the time the certificate is issued.
This document may be required in the following cases:
- Marriage abroad: most countries require proof of marital status to ensure that the person is not already married.
- Obtaining a residence permit or citizenship: some immigration services request such a certificate.
- Notarial acts: when registering inheritance, real estate deeds or other legally significant documents.
It is important to understand that a certificate of marital status has a limited validity period, which is usually from three to six months.
Methods of obtaining a certificate of marital status
There are two main ways to obtain a certificate if you are abroad.
1. Self-obtaining
You can obtain such a certificate yourself when you arrive in Ukraine. This option may be suitable if you are planning a trip. In this case, you can collect the entire package of documents yourself.
2. Execution with the help of Pereklad Bureau
Pereklad Translation Bureau offers comprehensive services that allow you to obtain a certificate without leaving your home.
How it works with us:
- Contacting the bureau: you contact us in any convenient way (by phone, via messengers or by leaving a request on the website).
- Providing documents: our managers will consult you and explain what documents and in what form you need to provide (usually these are scanned copies of your passport and other necessary documents).
- Execution of power of attorney: we will help you to execute a power of attorney that will allow us to act on your behalf.
- Obtaining a certificate: our specialists in Ukraine independently contact the relevant Civil Registry Offices, obtain a certificate of marital status and submit it for further processing.

Our specialists will translate the certificate and put an apostille - a special stamp that confirms the legality of the document for use abroad.
