An apostille is a special symbol that guarantees the legality of documents and the seals attached to them. One of the most commonly requested services is the apostille and legalization of statements regarding marital status. Simply put, this document, although called a certificate, is actually a statement of a person’s current marital status. What does this mean?
This statement is drawn up by a notary, and to prepare it, you need to present documents confirming your current marital status. Such documents may include:
- a court decision on divorce,
- a marriage certificate,
- a divorce decree.
It is also important to have a passport and an identification code. An apostille on a marital status certificate is a necessary requirement that may be useful when crossing borders for employment or personal matters. This type of statement can be prepared at any notary or legal company offering this service.
If considering the option of independently obtaining a marital status certificate and applying an apostille to it, it is important to follow a specific procedure:
- First, you need to consult a notary and gather all the necessary documents listed above.
- After receiving the statement, make an appointment at the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine to present the document and apply the apostille.
- Pay the state fee and wait for the service to be completed.
At first glance, this may seem like a simple process, but without sufficient experience and limited time, this option can be quite demanding. For example, getting an apostille on a marital status certificate in Kyiv can be challenging if you do not approach qualified specialists. Therefore, it is worth considering another option – seeking help from legal companies or lawyers specializing in this matter.
