Police Clearance Certificate + Apostille + Translation + Notarization
As you know, the Ukrainian Police Clearance Certificate will not be valid outside of Ukraine. What should I do if it is requested by a foreign government agency? The fact is that the certificate must be legalized, translated, and notarized.
These services are completely different, the procedures are handled by different departments, offices and ministries.
For example, a Police Clearance Certificate is issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, an apostille is affixed to it by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, translation is carried out by a translation agency, and notarization is the sphere of a notary. If you do all these procedures separately, it will take a lot of time. In addition, you need to be very careful, because the slightest inaccuracy can lead to the fact that the process will have to be started again.
The best solution would be to contact a company that specializes in all these services at the same time. This way you will save time and effort, as well as get a guaranteed high-quality result.
Why do I need an apostille for a certificate?
In order for a Police Clearance Certificate to be considered legal on the territory of other states, it is necessary to legalize it.
If the country to which you plan to submit the certificate is a member state of the Hague Convention of 1961, it can be legalized by affixing a special stamp - "Apostille". Apostille is a simplified form of document legalization provided for countries that recognize this convention.
If your country is not on the list of listed parties to the Hague Convention, consular legalization will be required. This is a multi-step process that will take longer.
