Translation
Translation first or apostille first?
Typical flows for Ukrainian civil documents and when the order of steps really matters.

Usually the apostille is placed on the original or a proper copy first; translation follows if required. Destination-country rules override general assumptions.
Apostille on a translation
Sometimes you need an apostille on a notarized translation instead — confirm that route in writing with the employer, school, or registrar.
Practical tip
Keep the answer to “apostille on original, translation, or both?” together with your document copies.
