How to obtain an apostille for Ukrainian documents from Poland

From checking the document to receiving the agreed set. Obtaining a document, submitting it for an apostille and collecting the result require different authorisations.

01

Send a photo of your document

We will confirm the destination country, receiving institution, document category, available copy and required date, then check whether an apostille is needed.

02

Agree the service details

We will identify the required result, competent authority and authorisation. We will agree the cost, included and additional services, full timescale and when it starts.

03

Send your documents

Agree the address, handover, tracking and responsibility for the original. If a digital procedure is available, we check the format before arranging submission.

04

Receive the completed documents

We will check the details and arrange translation if needed. We will agree the return of the documents, including delivery terms, cost and tracking.

Does your submission need an apostille

For Ukrainian documents submitted in Poland, we first check the exemption under Article 15 of the bilateral treaty. Apostille is not automatically required for every document.

Document and recipient

We establish the issuing and destination countries, institution, category and document status. Being in Poland and using a document in Poland are different circumstances.

Another destination country

We check any more favourable treaty and whether the Hague Convention applies between the two countries. If necessary, we consider consular legalisation.

Scope of certification

Apostille certifies the signature, capacity and seal. It does not guarantee acceptance of contents, recognition of qualifications or enforcement of a judgment.

If apostille is requested despite an applicable exemption, ask the recipient for its basis in writing. For a document issued in another country, start by choosing the country and apostille procedure.

Where to obtain an apostille for Ukrainian documents

The five categories have different competent authorities. The table applies after checking whether apostille is necessary.

If you are comparing the procedure in the issuing country with the Polish route, check which authority issues apostilles in Poland. The guide explains why translating a foreign original does not turn it into a Polish document.

Where to obtain an apostille for Ukrainian documents
CategoryCompetent authorityAccepted documentPreliminary step and result
Civil registryUkraine's Ministry of Justice; submission through authorised civil-registry offices, notaries or UkrderzharkhivOfficial certificate or appropriate replacementSignature and seal checks; Justice Ministry apostille on the selected document
EducationUkraine's Ministry of Education and Science; preparation through official ENICDiploma, school certificate and supplement, according to Ministry requirementsEducation-document checks; Education Ministry apostille. Diploma and supplement are counted separately
Criminal recordUkraine's Ministry of Internal AffairsProper paper extract issued by the Internal Affairs MinistryThe extract is issued first, followed by Internal Affairs Ministry apostille. An ordinary printout of an electronic response does not replace the paper document
Notarial documentsMinistry of Justice of UkraineNotarial document or permitted certification of a copy/translationChecking the notarial act; apostille certifies the notary's signature
Court documentsMinistry of Justice of UkraineProperly issued court documentChecking details; apostille does not replace recognition or enforcement of the judgment

Court documents issued in Poland have a separate service — court judgment apostille. For documents issued elsewhere, we determine the apostille requirement and competent authority separately.

Which copy of a Ukrainian document is needed for an apostille

We start preparation with a photograph or scan and choose the submission document according to authority and recipient rules.

Scan for preliminary checks

Send all pages, reverse sides, seals and attachments. A scan helps select the procedure but does not replace the document accepted by the Ukrainian authority.

Original and notarised copy

Apostille on the original document and on a notarial certification are different results. We first check which one the recipient accepts.

Replacement or USSR-era document

If a document is lost, replacement issuance is checked separately. USSR-era documents are assessed by authority and category; education documents have specific Ministry rules. Not all older documents automatically need replacing.

Order of translation and apostille for a Ukrainian document

The order depends on whose signature needs certification and what the recipient accepts.

Apostille on the original document

If the original document is certified, the complete set is usually translated after apostille, so the recipient receives a translation of both the document and certification.

Notarised copy or translation

Certifying a copy or a translator’s signature changes what the apostille authenticates. If the recipient requires the translation itself to be certified, we will check the procedure for a document translation apostille and whether that result meets the submission requirements.

Translation for the recipient

For submission to a Polish institution, we will confirm whether you need a sworn translation of the document. Translation requirements for other countries are checked separately.

Unsure which step comes first? We explain whether to get an apostille before or after translation and what to do if the translation is already complete.

If the applicable procedure is consular legalisation, we will agree it separately. Translation, authentication and recognition of a document’s contents serve different purposes.

How to verify an issued apostille

We check the completed certification and full set before return and submission.

Justice Ministry apostille

Checked in Ukraine's official Justice Ministry Electronic Apostille Register using the completed apostille's details. This is separate from the education apostille system. Official source: Ukraine Justice Ministry Electronic Apostille Register.

Education Ministry apostille

Use the Education Ministry's official verification service. Compare the number, date and details with the diploma or supplement received. Official source: Education Ministry apostille verification.

Checking the document set

We check the document, signatures, seals, apostille attachment and translation of the whole set. A register entry does not guarantee the institution's acceptance of the contents.

Authentication errors and rejection

If a document is returned, we first establish the specific reason and the stage where the problem arose.

Apostille requested despite an exemption

Ask for the requirement and its basis in writing. We check the treaty and document; one institution's requirement is not a nationwide rule.

Incorrect details or document format

Send all pages, order details and a description of the error. We establish whether the original, certification or translation needs correction. Do not alter seals or document binding yourself.

Rejection relating to content

An apostille does not resolve certificate validity, recognition of qualifications or enforcement of judgments. We examine the recipient's requirement and possible next steps.

Order terms specify how to report an issue and the scope of corrections for company errors. Acceptance by every institution is not guaranteed.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Translate Service arranges the service without your travelling. We first check the document, required authority and authorisation for each action; handover and collection are recorded in the order.

In ENIC's published procedure, the diploma and supplement are counted separately. We agree the set and estimate after reviewing both documents.

We first check the issued format and Internal Affairs Ministry and recipient requirements. An ordinary printout of an electronic response is not a proper paper extract for apostille.

We first check the Article 15 bilateral-treaty exemption, official document and recipient requirements. Apostille is not automatically needed for every Ukrainian document; translation and validity are checked separately.

Yes. Send all pages and specify the country and institution of submission. We check the category, details and appropriate document; hand over the original after agreeing the procedure.

The starting price does not replace a full estimate. Before ordering, we agree the pricing unit, preparation, official fee, replacement issuance, prior certification, translation and delivery, including what is included or charged separately.

Authorisation depends on the document, authority and action. Replacement issuance, apostille submission and collection are checked separately. We agree the required set before you hand over the original.

The total timescale includes preparation and authorisation, obtaining missing documents, queues, authority processing, translation and shipping. We agree the starting point and express availability after checking the set.

The order depends on the recipient. Translation may first be needed for a notarial act; after apostille, the document and certification are translated for submission. We confirm the accepted result and whether sworn translation is needed.

After initial checks, we agree the document, procedure, authorisation and handover address. The order records delivery, tracking, return, costs and responsibility for the original. We check the completed set before returning it.
