Ukrainian birth certificate translation
Translation into any of 45+ languages with notarization — 1,000 UAH, one business day. If your country needs an apostille, we obtain it from the Ministry of Justice and translate it together with the certificate.
When you need it
Documents abroad
Residence permit, citizenship, family reunification, registering a child or a marriage in another country.
Study and work
Admission, scholarships, employment — institutions often ask for the birth certificate together with other documents.
A foreign certificate in Ukraine
We translate certificates issued abroad into Ukrainian for civil registry offices, notaries, schools and state bodies. Without an apostille, a Ukrainian notary will not accept it.
Apostille first, then translation
If your country requires an apostille, it is placed on the original certificate — and only then is the certificate translated, together with the apostille. Translate it earlier and you will have to translate it twice. Apostilles on civil registry certificates are issued by the Ministry of Justice: 1,200 UAH including the state fee, about two weeks.

What to check before ordering
The certificate is laminated
It cannot be apostilled. The solution is a duplicate certificate: the same document on a new blank form.
The certificate is lost
We obtain a duplicate from any civil registry office in Ukraine — no travel needed. 7,200 UAH with apostille, 6,000 UAH without.
Old Soviet-style certificate
We translate it the same way. Whether it can be apostilled, we check before submission.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a birth certificate translation cost?
1,000 UAH with notarization for the main languages. Less common languages 1,100 UAH, Swedish and Greek 1,200 UAH. A Ministry of Justice apostille, if needed, is 1,200 UAH extra.
How long does it take?
Translation with notarization — one business day. With an apostille — about two weeks.
Which comes first, the apostille or the translation?
The apostille goes on the original first, then the certificate is translated together with the apostille. Otherwise you pay for the translation twice.
Can I order without coming to Zhytomyr?
Yes. A photo is enough for a quote, and the original for notarization and the apostille goes by Nova Poshta. We send the finished documents back the same way, within Ukraine or abroad.
My certificate is laminated. What can I do?
It cannot be apostilled, and removing the film yourself usually damages the form. You need a duplicate certificate — we obtain it for you, and you do not need to travel to Ukraine.
