It happens that you have lost your marriage certificate obtained in Ukraine, but you need it in another country. For example, to confirm kinship. What to do in this case?
At the same time, coming to Ukraine and independently obtaining documents is not always possible for various reasons. Including, this requires time and money for travel, accommodation and other expenses.
There is a solution - seek help from Pereklad Agency. Below we will tell you in more detail in which cases you can receive documents previously issued in the Civil Registry Offices of Ukraine.
What documents issued in Ukraine can be obtained abroad?
Each person has the opportunity to receive a duplicate:
- birth certificates if you were born on the territory of Ukraine, even if you were born before 1991;
- certificates on marriage or divorce concluded in our country;
- death certificates;
- documents on change of name or surname.
You can get a copy even if you previously had the original document. In this case, the duplicate has the same legal force. Please note that documents are issued only if the event occurred on the territory of Ukraine. If a person was born in Kazakhstan, but then lived in Kyiv, then a duplicate birth certificate cannot be obtained in our country. In this case, you need to contact the country of birth.
At the same time, both citizens of Ukraine and foreigners can receive documents and duplicates. In the second case, these persons must have a legal connection with our country, for example, they were married or born here.
In what cases is it necessary to obtain duplicates of documents from the Civil Registry Office?
Certain types of documents must be kept for life, such as a birth certificate. But there are situations when a document is lost, damaged, or has seals or inscriptions that make it invalid. In these situations, you have the right to receive a duplicate.
Also, documents issued by Civil Registry Offices in Ukraine are required for use abroad:
- To obtain a residence permit or citizenship. Often it is necessary to prove kinship, so you will need to provide a birth or marriage certificate.
- To receive an inheritance. In this case it is also necessary to prove kinship.
- To get married abroad, you must provide documents that prove you are not married, such as a divorce certificate.
- Litigation. For example, in matters related to divorce, child custody, and alimony.
- To get a job or study abroad. In some countries you need to provide a birth or marriage certificate.
