Detailed on marriage in Ukraine

How to register a fast marriage with a foreigner in Ukraine?

To register a marriage with a foreigner in Ukraine, it is enough to prepare a package of documents and submit an application to the organizer authorized to conclude quick marriages (RACS, state or communal enterprise). The submission of the application, with rare exceptions, takes place in the personal presence of the two newly-weds.

After the employees check the package of documents and their compliance with the legal requirements, they accept the application and set a date for the marriage. At the appointed time, it is necessary to return to the place of application for direct marriage registration and obtaining certificates.

Is it possible for two foreigners to get married in Ukraine?

Yes, it is possible to get married for two foreign citizens in Ukraine. The main condition for concluding a marriage between foreigners will be their legal stay on the territory of Ukraine at the time of state registration.

That is, you need to apply for marriage with at least 3 working days of legal stay in Ukraine. The number of days of legal stay can be calculated on the migration calculator.

The same applies to persons with residence permits, it is necessary that the permit is valid and at least 3 working days remain before its expiration date.

Why does the registration of “marriage in 24 hours” last more than one day for foreigners?

When foreigners get married in Ukraine, the authorized organizer of marriage registration sends a request to the Migration Service to confirm that the foreigner is really legally in the territory of Ukraine. Since the process of checking documents of foreigners by the Migration Service is an additional stage that lasts for a certain time, it is impossible to register a marriage with a foreigner as quickly as marriage between citizens of Ukraine.

What documents must be prepared in advance?

If one of the newly-weds was previously married, in order to register a new marriage, it will be necessary to provide a document confirming the divorce. These can be divorce certificates, certificates of marital status, court decisions.

In addition, it is necessary to provide:

  • passport, which was used to enter Ukraine and its notarized translation into Ukrainian (for foreigners);
  • a passport in the form of a booklet with the registration of the place of residence or an ID card with a certificate/excerpt of the registration of the place of residence (for a citizen of Ukraine);
  • a permit of temporary or permanent residence in Ukraine with a certificate/excerpt of the registration of the place of residence (for foreigners who have permits).
Please note that all documents issued abroad, except for the passport, must be apostilled or legalized for use in Ukraine, unless otherwise stipulated by Ukraine's international treaties. Also, documents written in a foreign language must be translated into Ukrainian and the translator's signature notarized.
