Do I need to indicate my maiden name in the Police Clearance Certificate

Among the many documents that a person may need to solve topical issues, sometimes there is a Police Clearance Certificate (certificate of no criminal record). Such a certificate is issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. It can be useful for obtaining a visa, citizenship, employment, adoption, tender, etc. With the help of a Police Clearance Certificate, you can make sure that a citizen has no problems with the law. But how to track this information if the person who needs a certificate has changed their last name?

When submitting your documents to obtain a Police Clearance Certificate, you must specify your previous surname, if you have previously changed it. The most common case is with a maiden name. However, this also applies to any other reason for changing the surname or first name.

Where is the previous surname indicated in the Police Clearance Certificate?

Your current surname, first name, patronymic will be written in your certificate, and previous data will be indicated in parentheses. The presence of a maiden name is important for submitting a Police Clearance Certificate to various authorities, as well as to the embassy. Without specifying the previous information about yourself, you risk being refused by the institution for which your certificate is being prepared.
