Criminal Records Checks

U.S. citizens may be asked to present a criminal records check in connection with a visa application to live or work in Ukraine.  The U.S. Embassy does not provide fingerprinting services for such matters.  Please see the Department of State’s webpage on Criminal Records Checks for more information on obtaining FBI and local criminal records checks in the United States.

Sometimes Ukrainian authorities will accept an Affidavit of No Criminal Liability in lieu of a criminal records check.  U.S. citizens may execute such an affidavit at the American Citizen Services Unit as part of the notary services offered to the public.
