When traveling abroad to study at a university, or to immigrate to Poland, the Czech Republic, Britain, Germany, and to any other country, you need to prepare all the necessary documents, and before leaving, make sure that they will have full legal force where you are coming . And very often school diplomas, diplomas of Ukrainian universities, certificates of good conduct and other important documents must be Apostilled. It is worth taking care of this even while in Ukraine, because if, for example, a notarized translation can be done in any country, then a document can be apostilled only in the country in which it was issued!
