What is the Apostille?
The Apostille is a legal regime of recognition of the legal validity of documents to be used abroad. The Apostille came as an alternative and universal certification procedure for documents, issued in one country, but beyond its borders. In contrast to the consular legalization, the Apostille certification requires less time and an apostilized document may be used in more than one country.
If you are going to another country for study, work, or permanent residence, you may need to take with you the documents certifying the education that you have obtained in Ukraine. To make your documents valid abroad, they are required to undergo the procedure of consular legalization or apostilization, unless our countries are in an agreement abolishing or simplifying the document legalization procedure. For details see the section List of Countries recognizing the Apostille certification.
