Civil registry documents

Duplicate Ukrainian divorce certificate from abroad

We obtain a duplicate of your Ukrainian divorce document from anywhere in Ukraine. You do not need to travel — we work remotely.

2–2.5 weeksFrom 6,000 UAHCourt decisions too
In short. A duplicate divorce certificate costs 6,000 UAH, or 7,200 UAH with an apostille, and takes 2–2.5 weeks; the price is final. We need a photo of your passport, the full names of both former spouses, the date and place of the marriage registration and the approximate date of the divorce. You do not need to be in Ukraine.
In practice it is faster. The duplicate itself is usually ready in 3–4 working days. We quote 2–2.5 weeks with a margin — including the apostille, air-raid alerts and the registry office’s response time.

When you need it

A new marriage abroad

Almost every country requires proof that the previous marriage was dissolved before it will register a new one.

The document is lost

The certificate is lost or stayed at home with no one to collect it.

An apostille is required

It cannot be placed on an old or damaged copy.

Divorced through a court

If the marriage was dissolved by a court, you need the court decision — we can obtain that too.

What we need from you

  1. A scan or photo of your passport
  2. The full names of both former spouses, the date and place of the marriage registration
  3. The approximate date of the divorce and the office or court that granted it
  4. The address the finished document should be sent to

We prepare everything required to approach the civil registry office on your behalf. Your presence in Ukraine is not needed.

How it works

  1. You send the details — we check that they are enough to find the registry entry.
  2. We prepare the documents needed for the request.
  3. We apply to the civil registry office where the divorce was registered.
  4. We collect the duplicate and, if you need it, have the apostille added straight away.
  5. The finished document is sent to your address in Ukraine or abroad.

Price and timeline

With an apostille — 7,200 UAH. Without an apostille — 6,000 UAH. Two to two and a half weeks in both cases. This is the final price for one document: the request, official fees, preparation and the apostille are all included. Only delivery is paid separately — from 810 UAH, depending on the country.

Not everyone needs an apostille. If the document is for use in Ukraine, or in a country that has a legal assistance treaty with Ukraine, it is not required. Tell us where you are submitting it and we will say whether you need one — check your country.

Duplicate, apostille and translation in one order

If the document is going abroad, it makes sense to do all three steps together: the duplicate, the apostille from the Ministry of Justice and a notarized translation into the language you need. The apostille stamp is translated as well. One order, one delivery, no shipping the document back and forth.

Ordering from abroad? Message us on Telegram or WhatsApp, or send an email — from any country, at any time. We reply during Kyiv office hours with the exact price and timeline for your case. Pay by card or PayPal; the document reaches you by courier.

Is a duplicate as good as the original?

Yes. A duplicate (in Ukrainian, povtorne svidotstvo) is not a copy. It is a new certificate on a blank form, issued from the same registry entry, with the same legal force. In practice it is often accepted more readily than a worn Soviet-era original.
