Cost of Documents in Ukraine

[hockeybrain]

For the men who have payed this expense:  How much should it cost a girl to obtain her International Passport, get police certificate, copy of birth certificate translated and sent to me in the US.  In Russia all this cost about $50.  In Ukraine it seems to cost alot more.  Am I right in this assumption?  Thanks

Here is a link to an answer from Dan to my question about how long it takes to get a Ukrainian passport: http://www.planet-love.com/wwwboard/show.php?russian/archive00128/messages/56383.txt

It all depends on city size, speed of the process and  agency( there may be few ).., or even  "personal connections" . Sumy, Ukraine , population around 400k, it costs $15 (for express - 10 days ) to obtain police certificate, otherwise $5 ..and wait 3/4 months . In Kiev , as any big city in FSU it is considerably more ( $$$ ) to arrange for any type of documents, translations or certificates. Very often twice as much as opposed to smaller cities .   Johny

My fiancee gives the following costs in Kyiv:

Intl. passport for adult $100, for child $15 (go figure)

police report $20 + $18 for translation

birth cert/divorce translation (2 cert. copies) $8/page

This was for "express service" (cheaper if you are in no hurry).

I can't remember exactly how much it was, but you have to pay for all these stamps, which add up quick.  Then it all has to be translated, which is expensive too.  A passport alone costs around $50 according to my wife.
