Certificate of no criminal record in Ukraine: what you need to know

Ukrainian law provides two types of certificate concerning criminal prosecution, the presence or absence of a criminal record, or restrictions under the criminal procedure legislation of Ukraine — the so-called “abbreviated” and “full” certificates.

• The abbreviated certificate is the one clients request most often: it contains only information on whether the person has a criminal record at the time the certificate is issued.
• The full certificate additionally shows whether the person was previously convicted with the record later expunged or cancelled, and whether the person is subject to any restrictions under Ukrainian criminal procedure legislation.

To order, send us a scanned copy of pages 1 and 2 of your passport together with the residence registration page (for an ID card — photos of both sides of the card and an extract confirming your registered place of residence). We will take care of everything else and obtain the document quickly.

Obtaining the certificate with an apostille — UAH 2,500 per document

For your certificate to be accepted within Ukraine, presenting the original document is sufficient. However, for it to be valid in the member states of the 1961 Hague Convention, an apostille must be affixed. The apostille is placed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the back of the certificate.

We offer an expedited service for obtaining the certificate together with its apostille, taking care of the entire process and sparing you the hassle. We accept orders online and send the finished documents by Nova Poshta.

Notarized translation of the certificate — from UAH 570

Foreign institutions usually require the certificate with an apostille and a certified translation into their official language. It is better to order the translation and notarization from one company rather than going to a translation agency first and then to a notary separately: the notary certifies only the signature of a translator registered in their register. Our translators are certified specialists, and we have everything in place for fast notarized translation — often on the day of request.

Cost of certifying the certificate

Certification confirms either that a copy matches the original document or the qualifications of the translator who performed the translation. There are several ways to certify a criminal record clearance certificate.

Notarized copy of the certificate — UAH 300 per document (up to 10 pages)

Certification of document copies in Ukraine is governed by Articles 75–78 of the Law of Ukraine “On Notaries”. A notarized copy is a photocopy of the original bearing the notary’s official seal, signature, and stamp, confirming that the copy matches the original. In most cases, a notarized copy has the same legal force as the original document.

Please note that a notary may refuse to certify a copy if the original contains erasures, corrections, or added text. This requirement of the Ministry of Justice aims to prevent fraud and document forgery.

Certification with the translation agency’s stamp — UAH 100 per document

This is the fastest and most economical option. It includes our agency’s stamp, the translator’s name, diploma number, and contact details. Agency certification does not replace notarization, but it is sufficient for many purposes — universities, non-governmental institutions, and immigration processes in some countries.

Whether you need notarial certification or the agency’s stamp depends on the requirements of the organization receiving your documents, so we recommend confirming which type of certification is needed before ordering.

Certification of the translator’s signature — UAH 400 per document

To give a translation official status, it must be notarized. The notary verifies the translator’s diploma and certifies their signature on the document. The translation is attached to the original or a copy of the certificate, a notarial inscription is made on the back of the last page, and the document is sealed with the signatures of the translator and the notary and the official state seal.

This type of certification is required for official use of the translation in Ukraine and, in many cases, abroad — requirements vary by country and institution, so it is essential to check them in advance.

Bilingual notarial certification — UAH 400 per document

The notary certifies the translator’s signature (and, if needed, the copy of the certificate), and the certification text is written in Ukrainian and duplicated in the target language. We recommend this option for certificates that will be submitted abroad: the notarial inscription will be understandable to foreign institutions.

The wording of the notarial inscription is established by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine: the Ukrainian text is mandatory, while the duplication in the target language is added at the client’s request.
