THE PROCESS OF OBTAINING A MARRIAGE APPROACH

The procedure for obtaining citizenship in Ukraine is a complex, monotonous process, with obligatory and large stages of submission and formation of documents, with various legal subtleties and nuances. Even if you want to independently submit paper, you must go through “fire and water.”

In Ukraine, such state institutions deal with the problems of citizenship:

1. The State Migration Service (HMS), the Representative Office, the Consulate solve nationality issues, but do not issue such documents;
2. the decision on citizenship is made by a specialized body in the administration of Ukraine – the organization’s specialists prepare papers, transfer them to the head of state for signature.

The process of registration of citizenship occurs with the filing of the necessary package of documents to the relevant authorities. Specialists of public institutions study the paper, in case of detection of inaccuracies or errors, return the documents before the expiration of 2 weeks for revision or elimination of errors.

Foreigners are given up to 2 months to re-submit papers. If this does not happen – the foreigner needs to re-start the registration procedure. If there are no omissions or inaccuracies in the papers, the papers are send to the district office of the MC, then to the regional and higher authorities.

All institutions check documents throughout the year. After the control and final check, the papers are handed over to the commission under the Presidential Administration. The latter decides whether Ukrainian citizenship will be granted for marriage.
