Sworn translation of the Ukrainian birth certificate

A translated and certified birth certificate is required for citizenship, family reunification, civil registration, marriage, children's school enrolment, recognition of welfare rights and many consular procedures.

Specific to Ukrainian

• We transcribe names and places consistently with the international passport.
• A Ukrainian certificate intended for Italy is usually apostilled in Ukraine before translation: we check with you.
• Useful for residence, family reunification, school enrolment and citizenship procedures.

What to prepare and attach

• A clear photo or scan of the certificate, with stamps and signatures.
• If the document is foreign and must be valid in Italy, any apostille or legalization already affixed in the country of origin.
• The office or authority it is intended for (this helps us check requirements and exemptions).
• The exact spelling of names and surnames as they must appear (e.g. as on the passport).

Delivery time

For a standard certificate we usually deliver within 3-4 working days of confirmation. If an apostille or legalization is also required, allow a few more days, as the file goes through the Public Prosecutor's office.

Stamp duty

Stamp duty normally applies to the translation (usually a 16 € stamp every 4 pages), except in cases of exemption provided by law. For the birth certificate, exemption may apply to certain registry or school uses: it depends on the use and the individual Court, so we check your case together first.

Validity abroad

If the translated certificate must be valid abroad, after the swearing-in we add the apostille (for Hague Convention countries) or legalization (for other countries). We tell you in advance which route is needed.
