For which countries is the Apostille of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine affixed?

The Apostille of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine is affixed to public documents related to the field of education and science, which were drawn up on the territory of Ukraine and are to be used on the territory of countries, which have signed Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents (Hague Convention) of October 5, 1961. The list of participating countries is given below.

For which countries is it not necessary to affix an Apostille of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine on the documents?

1. If you are preparing educational documents for a country that has not acceded to the Hague Convention and is not on the list of member states, you need to submit documents for the consular legalization procedure to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.

2. If a foreign organization requires an Apostille of a notarized translation of educational documents, you need to apply to the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine.
