FAQ
Can I get a Ukrainian criminal record certificate without leaving Czechia?
Yes. You can order it online — since September 2025 via Diia, directly with an apostille — or through a representative. We help you choose the way and prepare the document for the Czech authority.
Do I need an apostille and translation for the Czech Ministry of the Interior?
As a rule, a Ukrainian certificate is submitted with an apostille and a sworn translation into Czech. In some cases the treaty between Czechia and Ukraine exempts documents from verification — we check the requirements before you submit.
How do I get a duplicate birth or marriage certificate?
Duplicate certificates are issued by Ukrainian civil registry offices (DRACS). From Czechia this can be done through a representative with a power of attorney or via consular channels. Then comes the apostille and the Czech translation.
How long is a criminal record certificate valid?
Authorities require a recent certificate, so order it shortly before you submit. We tell you the time limit for your case in advance.
Do I need to come in person?
Most of the work is done remotely — from a passport scan and your details. In person you only sign the power of attorney and collect the finished originals.
