| The
Civil Marriage process in Ukraine |
 |
|
| |
 |
If you are going to get married
in Ukraine the Consular Office would advise you
to contact American Embassy in Kyiv at www.usemb.kiev.ua
before starting a marriage process in Ukraine.
To get married in Ukraine you are required to obtain
a certificate of search from a district court on
your current marital status.
If you have been married before, please make sure
that you have the original divorce decree or death
certificate of your spouse properly authenticated
at the Consular Office of the Embassy of Ukraine.
Pursuant to Article 195 of the Code of Laws on Marriage
and Family of Ukraine, a citizen of a foreign state
can enter into a marriage with a Ukrainian national
on the territory of Ukraine on a general basis.
The local Department of Vital Statistics and Civil
Status (known by the acronym "RAGS") can
process an application for marriage to a Ukrainian
national. Following documents are required:
 passport
(to be translated into the Ukrainian language);
a
legalized Certificate of Birth (to be translated
into the Ukrainian language);
a
legalized document on individual current marital
status (such documents can be obtained from a district
court);
a
legalized original divorce decree if any (this document
must be presented only by individuals who have been
previously married. It may be represented by a Divorce
Decree, Certificate of Death of one of the spouses,
or a copy of the Court Judgment annulling the marriage).
The validity of the documents mentioned (except
passport) is six months; effective date is the date
of issuance by the appropriate authority. |
