How we obtain the document without your presence
You provide a notarised power of attorney — we send an official request to the relevant Civil Registry office (ZAGS) in Russia. The original document arrives by post and is handed to you in person or via courier in Kyiv.
Who this service is for
Ukrainian and foreign nationals whose birth record was registered by a Russian ZAGS office, including during the Soviet era. Documents issued before 1991 are retrieved through the same process.
What you will receive
An original birth certificate in the standard format, bearing the registrar's signature and the official seal of a Russian ZAGS — ready for notarial translation or apostille.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, this is possible. Despite the severance of diplomatic relations, the Minsk Convention of 1993 on legal assistance formally remains in force for Ukraine and Russia. The procedure is more complex and longer than before the war, but in practice documents are obtained.
The timeline is 3 to 6 months depending on the archive region. Express options are not available from Russia.
In this case we help prepare a court claim to establish the fact of birth. The fact can be proven with other documents: school certificates, medical records, military booklet, testimony of relatives.
No. We act entirely remotely through legal mechanisms. Only notarized documents and a consultation are required from you. Travel to Russia is not needed and is not recommended by us.
