Ukrainians abroadDocuments for a residence permit, marriage, school, or citizenship. You stay where you are, we handle the work in Ukraine under a power of attorney.
HeirsThe notary needs an unbroken chain of documents, and half of them are missing. We gather everything and close the gaps.
When the documents do not matchDifferent spellings of a surname, an error in a record, data that does not line up. We fix it through DRATS or the courts.

How it works

  1. We assess the taskYou tell us what you need and where you are submitting it. We work out which document is actually required: a certificate or an extract, with or without an apostille, with which translation.
  2. We prepare a power of attorneyWe draft the text with the authority it needs. You certify it at a Ukrainian consulate or before a local notary.
  3. We do the work in UkraineWe obtain the document, restore the record or handle a court case if needed, arrange the apostille, and order the translation.
  4. We deliver the resultWe send the finished package by courier or hand it over in person in Kyiv. At every stage, you know exactly where things stand.
If you are in Ukraine and the situation is simple, we will say so honestly: in many cases a duplicate can be obtained on your own with a single visit to DRATS. Our work begins where things get complicated, or where you simply do not have the time.

What it costs

The cost depends on how many documents you need, whether a record exists in the register, whether a court case is required, and which country you are submitting to. So we do not quote a figure blind: we look at your situation first, then tell you exactly what needs to be done and what it costs, including state fees.

The initial assessment is free. Discounts apply for defenders, veterans, and pensioners, and in difficult personal circumstances we take cases pro bono. Ask us about eligibility when you get in touch.
