According to Art. 56 of the Law of Ukraine “On Private International Law”, for the conclusion of a marriage between a citizen of Ukraine and a foreigner or a stateless person on the territory of Ukraine, the norms of Ukrainian legislation are applied. In particular, an application for registration of marriage must be submitted personally by a woman and a man. Online submission of applications is not provided for by the legislation, however, in the case when persons cannot submit an application in person for good reasons, their representatives, with notarized powers of attorney, may submit the relevant documents.
If one of the parties to the marriage is a foreigner, the relevant documents (scanned copies of the passport and its translation) are sent to the State Migration Service of Ukraine for verification. The verification period depends on the body to which the application was submitted: in ordinary registration bodies it is about 10 working days, while within the framework of the “Marriage in a Day” project – about 5 working days.
After receiving a response from the migration service, the date of marriage registration is determined, and the presence of the bride and groom during this procedure is mandatory. Marriage through a representative on the day of registration is not allowed.
Can I submit documents online?
Currently, in Ukraine, it is not possible to fully submit documents for marriage registration online. However, you can use electronic services to make an appointment with the DRACS department through public service portals, such as the "Online House of Justice".
What to do if foreign documents are not translated into Ukrainian?
All foreign documents must be translated into Ukrainian and notarized. Translation and certification can be done at a translation agency or a notary in Ukraine.
Does a foreigner need to legalize their documents to register a marriage in Ukraine?
Yes, all foreign documents must be legalized (apostille) in the country of their issuance, unless otherwise provided for by international treaties to which Ukraine is a party.
