Apostille on a birth certificate

For apostille endorsement on a birth certificate, the following steps are required:

• Placement of an apostille on the original document.
• Translation of the document (apostille first, then translation, as the apostille is issued in the state language and also needs to be translated).
• Placement of a second apostille (to find out if you need a second apostille, you can check here).

IMPORTANT! An apostille on a birth certificate is placed exclusively on the original. The apostille is attached to the original document and certified with a stamp. In case it is impossible to submit the original, we provide a service for obtaining a duplicate document, on which we will affix the apostille.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ACCEPTANCE OF THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE FOR APOSTILLE ENDORSEMENT:

• Absence of lamination;
• Absence of significant damage to the document;
• Absence of stamps and seals of other government agencies on the reverse side of the document;
• The document was issued in the territory of Ukraine and no earlier than December 2015;

In case the document does not meet these requirements or the certificate was issued during the USSR period, it is necessary to obtain a duplicate of the certificate. Our company will help restore the certificate and immediately affix the apostille.
