When moving to another country, while studying or working abroad, a person is faced with the need to legalize their documents. In order for your Ukrainian documents to be considered legal abroad, you need to put a special Apostille stamp on them (if the country for which the document is being prepared is part of the Hague Convention. Otherwise, consular legalization will be required).

Apostille is an international standard seal, it is accepted in most countries of the world (EU, CIS, USA, Australia, Japan, South Korea). This seal is affixed to Ukrainian certificates, registry extracts, diplomas and other documents. But in which ministry is this done?

In Ukraine, unlike some other countries, different types of documentation are submitted to different bodies: the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine (MES) or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine (MFA).
