Obtaining a Criminal Record Certificate for Ukrainian Citizens Registered with the Consulate in Hungary for Citizenship Purposes

For Ukrainians living abroad, verifying the legal status of documents is often necessary. This is especially true when applying for citizenship in another country, such as Hungary. One of the required documents is a criminal record certificate, confirming that the individual has no criminal convictions or investigations in Ukraine.

Ukrainian citizens registered with the consulate in Hungary can obtain this certificate quickly and hassle-free with the support of the Legal and Realtor Association of Ukraine “AROU.”

What is a Criminal Record Certificate?

It is an official document issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine confirming:

  • No criminal convictions as of the date of issuance;

  • The person is not under investigation or search.

This document is required for:

  • Residency or citizenship applications;

  • Employment in government institutions;

  • Marriage registration;

  • Adoption processes;

  • Participation in international tenders.

How to Obtain It While Abroad?

  1. Submit a request to the Ministry — you’ll need passport data and a power of attorney for a representative.

  2. Certificate preparation — issued within several working days.

  3. Legalization (if needed) — Apostille may be required.

  4. Translation — certified Hungarian translation.

  5. Delivery — the final document is shipped to Hungary.
