A certificate of no child support debt is a document that confirms an individual has no outstanding court-ordered or enforcement-related child support payments. This certificate can be useful, for example, when traveling abroad (Ukraine restricts international travel for debtors with over 4 months of unpaid child support), or when applying for a loan (banks may request it to verify the borrower’s financial reliability), among other cases.
Ukrainian legislation does not establish a single official form for this certificate. However, regulations do provide for a similar document — a certificate of child support debt.
This certificate is issued by a state enforcement officer or a private bailiff — the person handling the enforcement proceeding. It must be issued within three business days from the moment the claimant submits a corresponding request.
However, there are some nuances: if the total child support debt from the date of enforcement is less than the amount due over three months, the enforcement body or private bailiff must issue a written refusal and provide a debt calculation instead.
It is important to note that the certificate reflects the status as of the date of issue, so it should be obtained as close as possible to the intended date of use.
