Translation and Certification of a Ukrainian Citizen's Passport by Sworn Translator Vitalii Makhanyets in Wrocław
In today’s world, the issue of legalizing documents in an international context has become increasingly relevant. This is especially true for Ukrainian citizens residing in Poland or dealing with Polish institutions such as voivodeship offices, notaries, courts, banks, employers, as well as educational and medical facilities. Amidst migration processes, relocations, official employment, studying abroad, or obtaining residence permits, documents issued in one country must be recognized in another. For this reason, there is a growing need for the translation of documents—such as passports—into a legalized format.
One of the most frequently required documents for official translation is the Ukrainian passport. It is needed when applying for a PESEL number, opening a bank account, registering an address, getting married, starting employment, and during numerous administrative procedures. In such cases, the translation must be carried out exclusively by a sworn translator, whose signature and seal confer legal validity on the document.
In this case, we explore an example of cooperation with lawyer and sworn translator Vitalii Makhanyets in Wrocław, who successfully provided a certified translation of a Ukrainian passport into Polish, confirming its compliance with the original.
