After the marriage is declared invalid and you receive a divorce certificate, you are officially considered an unmarried person. When submitting documents to various Ukrainian state institutions, this certificate will have legal force on a par with other documents, because it was issued by an official body – the Registry Office. This rule applies to the entire territory of Ukraine. In order for the divorce certificate to be legal abroad, it is necessary to legalize it.
