The certificate of civil status is known by different names depending on the situation or the requirements of the country where it is presented. Here are a few examples of what this document is commonly called:

When this certificate is required
In most cases, a marital status certificate in Ukraine is necessary when entering into marriage abroad. Many countries require documented proof that an individual is not married at the time of application. Additionally, the document is relevant when applying for a residence permit or citizenship, as it provides confirmation of no other family obligations.
Furthermore, the certificate may be needed when dealing with legal matters related to inheritance, adoption, or visa categories. It's essential to understand that the requirements for providing this certificate can vary depending on the country or specific situation, so the preparation of the document must be precise, strictly adhering to the demands of each jurisdiction.
Options for legalizing the certificate
- Notarization. This process verifies the authenticity of the signature on the document. A notary ensures the document complies with legal requirements and affixes their signature to confirm its authenticity.
- Apostille. An apostille is a special mark recognized by countries that are signatories to the Hague Convention. It confirms the authenticity of official documents and their legal validity internationally, being accepted in most European and American countries.
- Consular Legalization. In countries that do not recognize an apostille, a more complex process of consular legalization is required. The document is first certified by local authorities and then by the consulate of the country for which it is intended.
The marital status certificate is an important document used in many international procedures. Its preparation and legalization require specialized knowledge and expertise, and the Etalon team is always ready to handle this task. Our agency in Dnipro takes a responsible approach to work, offering a wide range of services, including divorce certificate translations, making each request as efficient and convenient as possible.
