CITIZENSHIP OF UKRAINE BY ROOTS

Acquiring Ukrainian citizenship is a popular request for many people in the field of migration law. This category of cases refers to the specialization of the Prikhodko&Partners law firm. We understand well that having a valid reason for acquiring Ukrainian citizenship significantly simplifies and speeds up this process. Therefore, let's talk in more detail about how to get Ukrainian citizenship by origin. This opportunity is relevant for many foreigners and stateless persons.

What does the Law "On Citizenship" say about this?

If a person's close relatives were born in Ukraine before August 24, 1991, it is necessary to confirm the fact of family ties with such people. The current legislation of Ukraine provides for a fairly wide range of such relatives. It is about mother, father, grandfather, grandmother, siblings, children, grandchildren.

To confirm family ties, it is necessary to provide original documents that trace them. For example, it can be evidence of the birth of such people. In some cases, there is no such testimony when it comes to grandparents. But such a situation is not a problem, since the legislators have provided everything necessary for this case as well. If the act record has not been preserved, this fact can be confirmed with the help of an archival certificate. This is relevant for situations where the relatives with whom the relationship is confirmed were born before 1953. It is also important to remember that there is another way to confirm legal facts - by a court decision.

Now let's move on to the next basis for obtaining citizenship by roots. It is about the residence of a person's close relatives before August 24, 1991 in the territory of Ukraine. The fact of such residence is confirmed by registration at that time. Or, as it was called then, a registration. Unlike the first ground, where a court decision is required only in the absence of other documents, in this case there is a need.

It is possible to obtain Ukrainian citizenship in both of the listed situations through the Migration Service. When this happens on the basis of a person's territorial origin, the procedure is accelerated. However, this does not negate the fact that a thorough analysis of the documents submitted to this state structure is required.
