The cost of an apostille in Ukraine in 2026 is set first of all by the ministry that stamps the document: the Ministry of Justice charges 670 UAH, the Ministry of Internal Affairs about 51 UAH, and the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs each apply their own tariff. Beyond the authority, the figure moves with the type of document, how many documents you submit and how quickly you need them back. We confirm the exact amount before we start, once we see the document type and where it must be submitted – you get one all-in figure for the whole job, and the trips to the ministry are ours to make.

How much an apostille costs in 2026: state fee by ministry
The state fee depends on which ministry apostilles your document.
- Ministry of Justice (notarial, court documents, civil-registry records): 670 UAH for individuals / 1160 UAH for legal entities (from 01.01.2026).
- Ministry of Education (diplomas, school certificates): at the ministry's own tariff; a diploma and its supplement count as two separate documents.
- Ministry of Internal Affairs (criminal-record certificate): about 51 UAH for individuals / 85 UAH for legal entities.
- Ministry of Foreign Affairs (medical and other documents): at the ministry's own tariff.
- The «Etalon» bureau service – filing with the right ministry, following the case through and returning the finished apostille; we agree the price before the work starts and the authority's charge is already inside it.
Each ministry sets its own tariff and charges it per document, so two documents mean two charges; urgent and non-standard cases are quoted individually.
Etalon's prices for translation and apostille sit on one page – see the indicative price list, where the main services show what they start from.
What the apostille cost depends on
Several factors shape the final price – from the ministry to urgency and volume.
- The ministry (authority) empowered to apostille that particular document: Education, Justice, Internal Affairs or Foreign Affairs.
- The document type and whether a translation or notarisation is needed first.
- Urgency: express handling costs more than the standard turnaround.
- The number of documents and pages – a larger volume affects the total cost.
What changed in 2026
From 01.02.2026 an electronic Apostille Register went live (Ministry of Justice order No. 3177/5): Justice decisions are now made within up to 3 working days, and the apostille itself can be verified online at apostille.minjust.gov.ua.
In 2026 the state fee also rose (its base is the subsistence minimum of 3328 UAH), so for the Ministry of Justice it is 670 UAH for individuals; meanwhile the Ministries of Education and Foreign Affairs keep their own tariffs, so the 670 UAH rate should not be applied to diplomas or medical documents.
