Apostille & Document Legalization

Professional support for the legalisation of documents, obtaining duplicates and notarised translations for use abroad.

Yuriy Kozachuk, Ph.D. in Law

Managing Attorney & Legal Scholar

Senior Practice Lead

The use of official Ukrainian documents outside the country is intrinsically linked to compliance with international and national legalization requirements. Depending on the destination country, documents may require an apostille stamp, consular legalization, notarized translation, or the re-issuance of official state certificates. Proper formatting of documents is critical for their official legal recognition by foreign state authorities, courts, educational institutions, employers, and other entities.

Attorney Yuriy Kozachuk provides comprehensive legal support for all procedures related to preparing documents for use abroad. Legal assistance includes document apostilling, obtaining duplicate certificates, extracts, background checks, and other official documents, as well as professional support for notarized translations. The attorney analyzes the legal requirements of the country of destination, determines the necessary procedure, and coordinates all steps, preventing errors, repeat filings, and unnecessary delays.

This legal service is especially relevant for Ukrainian citizens working, conducting business, or permanently residing abroad. Comprehensive support encompasses document preparation for marriage, obtaining residence permits, employment, inheritance, proving marital status, registering births, representing interests before foreign authorities, and resolving other legally significant matters. The attorney status and Ph.D. in Law degree guarantee a high level of legal analysis, careful consideration of international private law requirements, and an individual approach to every case.

The primary objective of my legal assistance in this area is ensuring the prompt, lawful, and unhindered use of Ukrainian documents outside Ukraine. Combining practical experience with end-to-end guidance across all document preparation stages allows clients to navigate bureaucratic obstacles, minimize the risk of document rejection by foreign institutions, and secure the required outcome within the shortest possible timeframe in full compliance with Ukrainian legislation and international standards.

Full scope of work within this practice:

Apostille of documents issued by civil registry offices (birth, death, marriage certificates).
Obtaining duplicates of civil registry documents.
Notarised translation of documents.
Apostille of notarial documents (powers of attorney, statements, contracts, etc.).
Apostille of court judgments and obtaining official copies.
