13.11.2025 19:44:12 From a legal perspective, yes, the Consulate of Ukraine in San Francisco can assist in confirming the validity of your U.S. birth certificate with an apostille for use in Ukraine. Since Ukraine is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, an apostilled U.S. birth certificate is generally recognized there without further legalization. However, the consulate may review the document to ensure it meets specific Ukrainian requirements, such as proper issuance and relevance to your purpose (e.g., citizenship, marriage). It is advisable to contact them directly with your document for verification.
13.11.2025 22:12:03 They cannot confirm the authenticity of a U.S. apostille, but they can check whether the document format meets Ukraine’s requirements and advise if anything is missing.
13.11.2025 22:17:03 The apostille itself is verified by U.S. authorities, but our San Francisco consulate can review your document and let you know if it’s acceptable for use in Ukraine.
