What is voluntary establishment of paternity?

In Ukraine, voluntary establishment of paternity is a legal process by which a man and a woman who are not married jointly submit an application to the Civil Status Registration Authority (ZAGS) to officially recognize the man as the child’s father. This procedure does not require a court decision.

What documents are required?

To successfully establish paternity, the following documents are required:

Passports of both parents;
Child’s birth certificate (if the child is already born);
Medical certificate confirming the mother's pregnancy (if the application is submitted before the birth);
Written consent from the guardianship and custody authority (if the mother is legally incapacitated, deceased, or her whereabouts are unknown).

How to submit the application and obtain the certificate?

Preparing the Application – the parents jointly or separately prepare the paternity acknowledgment application.
Submitting the Application – the application is submitted to the ZAGS at the place of residence of either parent.
Application Review – the ZAGS reviews the documents and makes a decision regarding paternity establishment.
Receiving the Certificate – once the decision is made, the certificate of paternity is issued.

Note: if one of the parents is unable to personally submit the application, they may authorize the other parent or a representative by issuing a notarized power of attorney.
