How to put an apostille on a Police Clearance Certificate?
When moving to another country, finding employment in a foreign institution or enrolling in a foreign university, you may be required to provide a Police Clearance Certificate. However, the usual reference is not enough. A document written in Ukrainian is valid only on the territory of Ukraine.
In order to present your Police Clearance Certificate abroad, you will first need to legalize it.
How to legalize a Police Clearance Certificate?
There are two ways to legalize documents. The first one - the affixing of an international apostille seal - is used for most countries of the world (CIS, EU, USA, as well as all other countries that have signed the Hague Convention).
The second one – consular legalization - is needed for those countries that are not part of the Hague Convention (Canada, China, UAE). This process is longer, more complex and includes several stages.
Where is the apostille affixed?
The apostille on the Police Clearance Certificate is affixed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
