ORDER

Many Ukrainians who are currently studying or working abroad are faced with the need to certify their diplomas, certificates, or other educational documents. This usually requires an apostille — a special stamp certifying the authenticity of the document for use in countries that are parties to the 1961 Hague Convention.

Why is an apostille required for educational documents?

An apostille certifies the authenticity of the official's signature and seal on the document. Without it, your diploma or certificate may not be legally valid abroad. It is required:

● when applying to a university or college abroad;

● when applying for a job at an international company;

● for the nostrification of diplomas in state institutions.

Where can you get an apostille for diplomas in Ukraine?

Apostilles for educational documents are issued by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine (MES). Applications can only be made in Ukraine, either in person or through an authorized representative.
