Ukraine has a clearly defined legal procedure regulated by legislation regarding the determination of a child’s citizenship in certain situations.
According to the provisions of the Law of Ukraine “On Citizenship of Ukraine,” children born on the territory of Ukraine automatically acquire Ukrainian citizenship.
If both parents of the child born are Ukrainian citizens, there is no need to confirm the child’s citizenship.
However, if one parent is a Ukrainian citizen and the other is a foreigner, or if both parents are foreigners residing in Ukraine according to the law, in such cases, children born on the territory of Ukraine are issued a birth certificate, which is an important document for further determination of their status.

However, the document package may vary depending on the basis of acquiring citizenship. For example, if the child did not acquire citizenship at birth from foreigners or stateless persons, then a declaration of non-acquisition of citizenship from other states will be required.
