Certificate of no criminal record in Ukraine

12 March 2026 09:00

The competent authorities of Peru and Colombia may require a certificate of no criminal record for various administrative procedures, in particular when applying for or renewing a residence permit, employment authorization, or other official procedures.

For use in the territory of Peru or Colombia, the certificate of no criminal record must be issued in one of the following ways:

Option 1. Certificate issued by the competent authorities in the territory of Ukraine.
In this case, the document must be apostilled in Ukraine and accompanied by a notarized translation into Spanish.

Option 2. Certificate issued by the Embassy of Ukraine in the Republic of Peru.

ATTENTION! Certificates of no criminal record that are downloaded free of charge from the “Diia” application, even if accompanied by a certified translation into Spanish, are not accepted by the authorities of Peru and Colombia.

Such certificates are intended exclusively for use within the territory of Ukraine.

Ukrainian citizens who have the official Ukrainian government application Diia installed can obtain a Certificate of No Criminal Record at the Embassy of Ukraine on the same day they submit their application.

If the applicant does not have the Diia application or is a foreign national, the certificate is issued following an official request sent by the Embassy to the competent authorities of Ukraine. In this case, the processing time will be longer, as explained in detail below.

Obtain the certificate at the Embassy using the “Diia” application

If you have the “Diia” application, you can obtain a certificate of no criminal record during a consular appointment at the Embassy of Ukraine in Lima or during an outreach consular service in Colombia.

The certificate is issued in Ukrainian and Spanish on the official letterhead of the Embassy of Ukraine in Peru.

The consular fee may be paid using one of the following methods:

By bank card using the payment terminal located at the Embassy premises (applicable bank fees may apply).
Through the banking application (available only to persons who have an account with the Peruvian bank BBVA).
In cash, in U.S. dollars, at a bank branch, upon presentation of the bank payment slip issued during the consular appointment.
