Ukrainian consulate in France answered that they do not provide such legalizations.
The certificate is legalized by the MInistry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine (Ministerstvo zakordonnih prav).
Are you, by chance, familiar with this issue?
Is this legalization enough or the French authorities want something more? If yes - who has to "legalize" the certificate?
Thank you very much in advance!! ▲ Collapse

If you have additional questions, please, don’t hesitate to write directly to my e-mail.
