Certified translation of foreign documents into Ukrainian

Ukrainian authorities will not accept a document in a foreign language. It has to be translated into Ukrainian and notarized — and, for most countries, carry an apostille from the country that issued it.

Does your document need an apostille?

The apostille goes on the original document, in the country that issued it — before you bring it to Ukraine. We cannot obtain it for you from abroad, so check this before you travel.

Apostille required

Countries in the Hague Convention that have no bilateral legal assistance treaty with Ukraine:

Region Countries
Western Europe Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland, the United Kingdom
Southern Europe Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Cyprus, Malta, Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, Albania
Northern Europe Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland
Americas USA, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Uruguay
Asia & Oceania Israel, Türkiye, Japan, South Korea, India, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand
Africa South Africa, Morocco, Tunisia, Mauritius and other convention members

Apostille not required

Ukraine has legal assistance treaties with these countries, so their official documents are accepted directly — a notarized translation is enough:

Region Countries
Central Europe Czechia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Poland
Balkans Serbia, North Macedonia
Baltics Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia
East & Caucasus Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan
Central Asia Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Mongolia
Poland is the exception in both directions. The treaty applies, but Polish educational documents and papers used for residence procedures are often still expected to carry an apostille. Ask before you assume.

How it works

1Send a photo or scan by email — we confirm price and deadline free of charge
2We translate the document into Ukrainian in full, including stamps and endorsements
3A Ukrainian notary notarizes the translation — this is what makes it official here
4You collect it in Zhytomyr or we send it by Nova Poshta anywhere in Ukraine, at our expense
Spelling of your name in Ukrainian. There is usually more than one way to render a foreign name in Cyrillic, and Ukrainian authorities expect the same version throughout your file. We keep one spelling across everything we translate for you. If another Ukrainian document already spells your name a particular way, send it over and we will match it.

Payment

Card or PayPal, including from outside Ukraine. We send payment details once the price is agreed. Delivery within Ukraine by Nova Poshta is included in the price.
