CONFIRMATION OF CHILD CITIZENSHIP

 The issuance of a certificate confirming the child’s citizenship (hereinafter referred to as the MTEF) is relevant for foreign parents (or one parent of a foreigner) whose child was born in Ukraine. Due to the registration of the MTEF, a child can obtain a foreign passport of Ukraine, which will make it possible to cross the border. And upon reaching the required age - get an internal Ukrainian passport.

 Also, the MTEF is issued when the parents or one of them has a desire to obtain a permanent residence permit in Ukraine for a child.

 Documents for registration of this certificate are submitted to the territorial bodies of the migration service at the place of registration of the place of residence of the parents. The applicant may be any parent or other legal representative. The time limit for issuing an MTEF cannot be more than three months. But in case of difficulties with documents, requests for confirmation of the fact of birth or the fact of the legality of the parents' stay in Ukraine - the period may be longer.

 The list of required documents includes:

• Passports of parents and their translations into Ukrainian with notarization,
• Residence permits for parents in Ukraine (temporary or permanent, depending on each individual situation),
• Birth certificate of a child with notarization of a copy of it (in certain cases, namely, when the birth certificate was issued repeatedly and the corresponding mark is in the upper right corner, an extract for the birth certificate is submitted),
• Photos of a child 3.5x4.5 two pcs.,
• Declaration on the child that he did not receive the citizenship of the country of the second of the parents - a foreigner,
• Application for registration of proof of citizenship of the child.

 If the child is already 14 years old, the child’s consent is required to receive a certificate confirming the citizenship of Ukraine.

 Also, there are times when it is necessary to receive an MTDS for a child whose both parents are citizens of Ukraine, but the child himself was born outside the country. The procedure for this design is similar in nature to the documents with the first option. The only difference is that you can apply for this certificate at the place of birth of the child through a consular post or embassy of Ukraine in a particular country.

 The procedure for filling out this certificate is very scrupulous and requires a lot of attention, a pedantic approach and control. And not only in the matter of collecting documents, but also in the design of the MTEF. It is necessary to control every step of the employees of the migration service, in order to prevent errors or mistakes.
