Legal Services for Obtaining an Apostille on Official Documents for Ukrainian Citizens Living in Hungary

In today’s globalized world, Ukrainians often need to use their official documents abroad. For such documents to be recognized internationally, they must undergo legalization — most commonly via the Apostille process.

The Legal and Realtor Association of Ukraine “AROU” provides a full range of services for obtaining Apostilles: from consultation and document preparation to legalization, translation, and notarization. We ensure fast processing, professional support, and direct delivery of the finalized documents to Hungary — saving you time and bureaucratic hassle.

What Is an Apostille and Why Is It Needed?

An Apostille is a special stamp certifying the legal validity of a Ukrainian document for use in countries that are members of the 1961 Hague Convention, including Hungary.

Apostilles are most commonly required for:

• Birth, marriage, or divorce certificates

• Police clearance certificates

• Educational documents (diplomas, transcripts)

• Notarized powers of attorney or consents

• Court decisions and other official documents

Without an Apostille, Ukrainian documents may not be legally recognized in Hungary.

How Can You Obtain an Apostille in Hungary?

For Ukrainians living abroad, including in Hungary, the process can be complex due to interactions with Ukrainian state authorities. To avoid complications, it’s best to work with professionals.

Main Steps:

1. Document Preparation
Ensure you have original documents in good condition. If lost, duplicates must be issued.

2. Legalization in Ukraine
The Apostille is issued by relevant Ukrainian authorities:

• Ministry of Justice – for certificates and notarial documents

• Ministry of Education – for diplomas and transcripts

• Ministry of Foreign Affairs – for other documents

3. Translation and Notarization
Hungary may require translated documents (into Hungarian) with notarized certification.
