FEATURES OF MARRIAGE REGISTRATION WITH A FOREIGNER
In order to officially formalize the marriage relationship, two citizens of Ukraine only need to appear at any branch of the RAC and submit an application. The general procedure of marriage registration lasts a month, and is also possible only with the personal presence of both spouses. However, if at least one of the newlyweds does not have a Ukrainian passport (a foreigner or a stateless person), the procedure is somewhat complicated. A foreigner’s passport document translated into Ukrainian, a certificate of marital status, as well as valid documents confirming the legality of stay on the territory of Ukraine are required.

GROUNDS FOR MARRIAGE REGISTRATION PER DAY
The husband or wife of a citizen of Ukraine automatically receives the right to receive a temporary residence permit for the first two years after the marriage is registered in Ukraine. If the marriage was registered abroad, then such a right arises after registration, but the registration decision needs to be legalized in order to complete the documents. In the future, the fact of registering such a marriage gives the right to obtain Ukrainian citizenship. Often, it is precisely for this reason that foreigners quickly come to a decision regarding the official registration of relations. Time for bureaucratic moments is limited. During the specified time in the visa/visa-free regime (no more than 90 days), the foreigner must collect and submit the following documents:
- Foreign passport of a foreigner (if the visa regime is with the country of his origin – with an affixed visa).
- A document confirming the fact of dissolution or absence of marriage.
All documents must be translated into Ukrainian and certified in accordance with the procedure established by law. To use the marriage registration certificate in other countries, an apostille or consular legalization is additionally attached.
