Using a Dutch birth certificate in Ukraine.
Need to use a Dutch birth certificate in Ukraine for civil registration, family, nationality, immigration, inheritance, name or administrative matters? Apostille Assist helps review whether the Ukrainian recipient needs a recent municipality extract, apostille, translation, original-paper handling or additional Dutch civil documents.
Choose the level of help you need
Whether you already have the correct Dutch birth certificate or still need help understanding the Ukrainian requirements, you can choose the level of assistance that fits your situation.
Apostille Submission
Best if you already have the correct Dutch birth certificate and mainly need the apostille submission handled clearly for use in Ukraine.

- Useful when the document route is already clear

- For unclear or multi-step Ukraine document requests

- Practical communication and progress updates
When this is relevant in Ukraine
A Dutch birth certificate may be requested in Ukraine for civil registration, family procedures, nationality matters, immigration files, inheritance matters, name-related procedures or administrative checks.
Start with the correct certificate version
Not every Dutch birth certificate follows the same route. Some Ukrainian recipients may require a recently issued municipality extract, while others focus on apostille, translation, names, dates or supporting documents.
Which birth certificate route may be needed?
The right route depends on the Ukrainian recipient, the certificate version and whether apostille or translation is required.
Municipality extract
For obtaining a recent Dutch birth certificate or international extract.
Civil registry route
For family, identity, parentage or registration files.
Apostille route
For preparing the Dutch certificate for official use in Ukraine.
Translation route
For Ukrainian-language handling after the correct document route is clear.
