Documents Required for Marriage Registration
- From the British citizen:
a valid international passport;
a residence permit in Ukraine (if applicable);
a divorce certificate with an Apostille (if the person has previously been married). - From the Ukrainian citizen:
an internal Ukrainian passport;
a divorce certificate (if the person has previously been married).
Duration of the Marriage Registration Procedure
The standard service is provided within four working days, during which both parties to the marriage must remain continuously on the territory of Ukraine, without leaving the country. A more expedited procedure may also be available upon request.
Marriage Registration and Legalisation of Documents
The marriage is registered with a state civil registry authority (Civil Status Registration Office) in the city of Lviv. Upon completion of the registration procedure, the newlyweds are issued two copies of the marriage certificate in the Ukrainian language.
In order for the marriage certificate to be valid abroad, it must be properly legalised. For example, if the document is to be submitted in the United Kingdom, it must be apostilled. Subsequently, an official translation into English must be completed in the country where the document is submitted.
