Apostille
or Going round
It is already
much written about Apostille and Hague convention so we will not add anything
to this information. At any
web-site of any translation bureau you may find information about what
Apostille is and for what countries is this stamp required. We would
like to tell you how you shall act in the situation when you need to affix
Apostille stamp to your documents.
Firstly you
shouldn't panic and phone in every organization or turn the Internet upside
down searching for what Apostille means. First, you
should define the complete list of documents that you personally need to
prepare in your situation.
This
information you may learn either from the host party (registry office,
employer, educational establishment), or from our manager by phone 599-52-90.
Next you
should define to which institution your documents pertain. There is the way you
define it:
All
documents issued by registry offices (birth certificates, marriage
certificates, certificates of marriage dissolution), courts (court decisions, enforcement
orders), legal and notarial bureaus (applications, powers of attorney,
translations certified by a notary), pertain to the Ministry of Justice.
The
Ministry of Justice of Ukraine
accepts documents at the address: Kyiv city,

Documents
issued by schools, universities, institutes and other educational
establishments under state jurisdiction: (certificates of secondary education, diplomas,
enclosures to them, student's record books, educational programmes etc.), pertain
to the Ministry of Education.
The
Ministry of Education of Ukraine
is situated at the address: Kyiv city, Peremogy street 10, room 121

Lastly, the
documents issued by the internal affairs agencies of Ukraine (non-conviction
certificates, certificates of place of residence, medical certificates bearing
the stamp of the Ministry of Health Care), pertain to the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs.

It is
necessary to know how much Apostille stamps should be affixed to your
documents: one or two or your documents should undergo the procedure of
translation by an accredited translator. This
information may be given to you by an embassy officer.
If this
process for you means exhausting going round and round, then our translation
bureau is at your service. Our
manager, an expert in Apostille will consult you on all issues related to
Apostille.
NOTE:
All the
Ministries affixing the stamp of Apostille accept documents without a power of
attorney. It means that if you are short of time or feel confused then a
representative of our company may submit your documents for affixing Apostille.
