Requesting archival information

Requesting references from archives is a complex and responsible process that requires knowledge of legislation and skills in working with archival institutions. These documents are necessary for solving a variety of tasks, so their preparation must be extremely thorough and careful to eliminate even the slightest possibility of error.

Reasons for Preparing an Archival Reference

Clients from Lviv, Odesa, Kharkiv, Kyiv, Dnipro, Bratislava, and other cities primarily require archival references in the following situations:

• Inheritance processing. Necessary to confirm rights to inherited property.
• Obtaining citizenship. Helps prove the fact of the birth or residence of ancestors in the country.
• Registering property rights. Used to confirm ownership.
• Restoring lost documents. Needed to replace lost birth, marriage, and other certificates.
• Confirming work experience. Required for calculating pensions or other social benefits.
• Correcting errors in official records. Used to correct incorrect data in documents.

Process of Obtaining an Archival Reference

The process begins with submitting a request, which the team prepares and sends to the relevant state (regional) archives. We handle all stages — from drafting the application with the exact required data to verifying the presence of the document in the archival funds. The time to obtain the reference depends on the complexity of the search and the specific task at hand, but our staff does everything possible to expedite the process while acting exclusively in the client's interest.

Documents Required for Obtaining an Archival Reference

To successfully request an archival reference, a specific set of documents must be provided. The basic package includes:

• Passport. Confirms the applicant's identity and right to request the document.
• Notarized power of attorney. Required if the reference is requested by a representative.
• Application. A document specifying all necessary data for the search.
• Birth or marriage certificate. Needed to confirm family ties.
• Documents substantiating the request. May include a request from government agencies or a court decision.
