Ukrainian police clearance certificate translation
Certified translation with notarization — from 1,000 UAH, in one business day. If your country needs an apostille from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, we obtain it before translating. No certificate yet? We obtain it for you without you travelling to Ukraine.
The order: certificate → apostille → translation
Validity is the main risk
The certificate itself does not state an expiry date — the institution you submit it to decides. In our experience: about one month in Ukraine, usually six months in Europe, one year in Canada. That is why we translate fast, and why we recommend ordering the certificate once you know your submission date. How long the certificate is valid →
No certificate yet?
We obtain it — no travel needed
Only photos of your documents are needed. Without an apostille — 1,600 UAH, about two weeks. With the MIA apostille — 2,200 UAH. Together with the translation — 3–3.5 weeks.
Foreigners who lived in Ukraine
Canada, Australia and the UK ask for a certificate from every country where you lived for six months or more. We obtain it and translate it into English.
