Advantages of marriage in Poland:

However, in order for a marriage concluded in Poland to have legal force in Ukraine, it must be legalized.
The process of legalization of marriage
The process of marriage legalization consists of two stages:
Obtaining an apostille:
- Apostille –this is a special stamp that certifies the authenticity of a document issued in a foreign country.
