If a foreigner or foreigners have a child born on the territory of Ukraine, they can register the child as a citizen of Ukraine. To do this, they must choose the child’s citizenship and go through the procedure of confirmation of the child’s citizenship. A parent or other legal representative of the child may petition for the child’s registration as a citizen of Ukraine if the child is stateless or a foreign citizen but is undergoing a procedure of deprivation of citizenship.
List of documents required to confirm a child’s citizenship of Ukraine:
- petition for confirmation of the child’s citizenship;
- if the child has no citizenship, the corresponding declaration is submitted;
- if the child holds foreign citizenship, a commitment to renounce that citizenship is provided;
- the child’s birth certificate;
- parents’ passports and, if necessary, their legalized translations;
- parents’ marriage certificate;
- for a child older than 7 years, two matte photos sized 3.5 cm by 4.5 cm must be submitted;
Documents are submitted by one of the child’s legal representatives. Confirmation of the child’s citizenship is carried out by the relevant migration service authority at the place of residence. If the migration service authority issues a positive decision, a certificate is issued indicating the confirmation of the child’s citizenship — Ukraine. The certificate also records in Ukrainian the surname, given name and patronymic, the basis for confirmation of citizenship, the child’s date and place of birth, and their sex.
Such a certificate is valid for: three years for children up to seven years old; for children older than seven years — until they reach 16 years old.
