Ukraine, a Ukrainian citizen, or a citizen of a foreign state, can enter into
a marriage with a foreign national on the territory of Ukraine on a general

Laws on Marriage and Family of Ukraine.
The Department of Vital Statistics and Civil Status can process an
application for marriage to a foreign individual, provided the following
documents are submitted:
-
a piece of identification (to be translated into the Ukrainian language.
In most cases, a passport can be translated by a free-lance translator
employed by the local Department of Vital Statistics and Civil Status);
-
a document proving the individual’s civil status (such documents
can be obtained from the appropriate authorities of the country of the
individual’s origin or the Consulate of this country in Ukraine);
-
a document proving that a past marriage was effectively dissolved
(this document must be presented only by individuals who have been
previously married. It may be represented by a divorce certificate,
certificate of death of one of the spouses, or a copy of the court judgment
annulling the marriage).
The certificates of civil status have a validity period of six months,
beginning from the date of issuance thereof by the appropriate authority.
