Legal support for marriage with a foreigner in Ukraine

Marriage between a citizen of Ukraine and a foreigner is not only a formal ceremony, but also a complex legal procedure that requires a careful approach to collecting documents and complying with legal requirements.

Our specialists provide support at all stages - from the initial consultation to marriage registration in the Civil Registry Office or through the "marriage in a day" program.

What documents are required for marriage with a foreigner?

Before submitting an application to the Civil Registry Office, a foreign citizen must provide:

• Certificate of marital status from the country of citizenship;
• Document of legal stay in Ukraine;
• If the person was previously married - a certificate of divorce or death of the previous partner;
• A statement of intention to marry.

A lawyer checks the compliance of documents, organizes translations, apostille or legalization (if necessary) in order to avoid refusal by the DRACS bodies.
