Peculiarities of marriage registration with a foreigner

If you decide to register a marriage with a foreigner in one day in Ukraine, you need to know a few details, the failure to comply with which will make it impossible to register the marriage:

First of all, a foreigner must legally reside in Ukraine at the time of marriage registration;
It is necessary to collect all the documents required for registration. Such documents must be translated into Ukrainian and notarized;
It is important to take care of a document confirming the termination of a foreigner’s previous marriage (of course, if there was such a marriage), such a document should be legalized in its country of issue.
