What is Papery?

Practical document information in one place.

Papery is an information portal for people preparing documents for work, study, medical treatment, marriage, relocation, business or other matters abroad. We collect practical information about document requirements and present it in a clear and structured format.

Here you can find guidance on apostille and legalisation, notarisation, translations, country-specific document requirements and other procedures commonly involved when using Ukrainian documents abroad or foreign documents in Ukraine.

A separate part of Papery is the specialist directory, which brings together notaries, legal firms, lawyers, visa centres, translation agencies and real estate professionals across different countries and cities. This makes it possible to move directly from researching a procedure to finding a relevant specialist.

Our aim is to make complicated document procedures easier to understand by showing what documents may be required, how the main steps are typically organised and where additional assistance can be found. Official requirements may change, so current rules should also be confirmed with the authority receiving the documents.
