The procedure of legalization and an Apostille placement

Education and medical documents issued abroad must be certified and legalized according to the established order unless otherwise provided by international agreements of Ukraine. Citizens of the countries-parties to the Convention who relinquish the requirement to legalize foreign official documents (The Hague, 1961) with the apostille on them are released from the legalization of these documents. Legal documents and documents issued in the countries participating in the Convention on Legal Assistance and Legal Relations in Civil, Family and Criminal Matters (Minsk, 1993) do not require legalization and apostille.
