  2. Apostille affixing is a seal of the Ministry of Justice, which confirms the legality of marrying in Ukraine and the document, not only in this country and several others, but also abroad. This method is used if the document is used in states that have signed the 1961 Hague Convention, which abolishes the requirement to legalize foreign official documents, including foreigners documents about marrying in Ukraine, including all European countries, the United States, Latin America, and so on.
  3. Consular legalization is the most difficult and longest recognition procedure.
