Since 1961 after signing the Hague Convention was cancelled the obligatory legalization of foreign documents in the Embassy of France in Ukraine, because France is a participant of this Convention.

In 2003 Ukraine also has signed the Hague Convention, which signified in its territory the abolishment of tiring procedure – the consular legalization. Therefore, the documents are registered by way of affixing on them the apostille stamp for France.

You can make the translation for France both by usual and accredited (sworn) translator. On this depends the further procedure of document apostillization.

In the first case the translation shall be additionally certified by the apostille stamp for France (it is affixed on the document translation). If you perform the translation through the sworn translator, no additional certification from the side of a notary or ministries is required.

You simply need to affix on this translation the apostille stamp of the correspondent Ukrainian ministry (depends on the document type).
