A replacement birth certificate

Usually, having obtained a passport at the age of 16, lots of Ukrainian citizens believe that a birth certificate is not a particularly necessary document and do not attach much importance to its appearance and undamaged condition. However, after its original form is damaged or does not meet the requirements or the document is simply lost, you will need to replace a birth certificate in Ukraine for its further use abroad or inside the country.

When you need to replace a birth certificate

The reasons why you may need to obtain a new birth certificate can be very different. Below we outline the ones we have personally encountered in our work process:

  1. Old-style birth certificate. For traveling abroad your documents must be prepared in a proper way – they must be apostilled or legalized by the Consulate of the receiving state. Now Ukrainian ministries and agencies abroad have become less likely to accept old-style documents issued in the USSR or Ukrainian old-style documents. In this case, the old-style birth certificate should be replaced with a new-style document.
  2. External damage or lamination. Needless to say, a document that has any defects will not be processed by any Registry Office, Embassy or Ministry. Furthermore, according to the regulations of the above institutions, laminated documents also need to be replaced.
  3. Mistakes or inconsistencies. Such document version is also the reason to replace a document. Even if your document was accepted by a kindergarten, school, etc., it does not mean that the Ministry will accept it to apostille. Nevertheless, if you manage to apostille a birth certificate with an error, it can be rejected abroad at any time, while preparation of a new document will involve more difficulties and expenses.
  4. You have an old-style certificate, and you want to replace it. You have an old-style certificate, and you want to replace it. Although this option is infrequent in our practice, sometimes we also come across it. There are people who love when all of their documents are always in good condition and ready to use at any time.
