Documents from the German side

At the very beginning, it is required that the future husband (wife), who is in Germany, contact the local registry office and specify the list of required documents for registration of the marriage. The exact list and answer to the question: “What documents are needed for marriage with a German in Germany?” - gives a specific registry office based on:

  • Number and prescription of previously registered marriages.
  • The presence of children from a previous relationship.
  • Other reasons as established by the registration authority.

As a rule, the registry office in Germany issues a detailed list of documents with a description. After the collection process is launched, the Ukrainian side may begin to prepare their papers.

Documents from the Ukrainian side

You will need:

  • Passport and its copies having official notarization.

  • Certificate of residence.
  • Salary certificate.
  • Certificate stating that the representative of the Ukrainian side is not currently married.

Since Germany is one of the countries that signed the Hague Agreement, it accepts only apostilled documents. If your birth certificate is issued on the Soviet model, then it will need to be renewed - it is impossible to put an apostille for marriage in Germany on a document of a non-existent country. This procedure is simple, however, it takes time and payment of state duty. All other documents must also be translated into German and apostilled.

When contacting our bureau together with the cost of translating personal documents you will need to pay a state fee, the amount of which is regulated by the Tax Code.

At this stage, it should be remembered that a notarized translation in Germany cannot replace a similar procedure carried out in Ukraine. The reason is that the translation of the birth certificate into German and all other documents should be carried out only by a sworn translator of the German district court. “Etalon” cooperates with employees who carry out this action in Germany, and can assist in the efficiency of the whole process.
