Living abroad obliges Ukrainians to comply with local rules and laws. Therefore, they often have to confirm that they have not been prosecuted in their home country - for this they need to obtain an extract (certificate) of no criminal record. Submit your application online.
Ukraine Pulse reports this. It is noted that outside of Ukraine such a certificate is usually required in a number of cases:.
A certificate of no criminal record in Ukraine is issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) - it indicates whether the citizen has a criminal record, is under investigation, or has been convicted previously. Such a document is valid for 30 days in Ukraine, but in other countries conditions may differ.
To obtain a certificate, you need to apply for an extract with an apostille from the information and analytical system " The easiest way to submit an application is through Diyu - the service is free, but processing of the application takes up to 30 days. A paper document can be received with delivery through Ukrposhta (only in Ukraine).
This can also be done through the online service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs - if the data is in the register, it will be generated automatically. To do this you need:.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs sends an electronic certificate in PDF format with a digital signature, which can be officially used. But for official institutions they usually require a paper original with an apostille. It can be ordered through an authorized representative in Ukraine.
A relative or acquaintance in Ukraine can act as a proxy. Such a power of attorney must be:.
Having a power of attorney, a representative can contact the service center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or CNAP and receive a certificate of good conduct immediately with an apostille on behalf of the person. But not all countries recognize the apostille - in order to have legal force in the rest of them, the document must be legalized at the consulate, and also translated into the language of the country of residence.
In most countries the certificate is valid for 6 months. But you should order it in advance - processing can take up to 10 working days.
