    Certification of doctors-stomatologists (i.e., dentists) in Ukraine is a procedure that is not sufficiently covered in English-language articles. Understanding Ukrainian legislation in matters of сertification is extremely important both for foreign colleagues and for stomatologists in Ukraine. The purpose of this paper is to present the original and translation of three main documents of the Procedure for Certification of Doctors of the Order of the Ministry of Healthcare of Ukraine dated February 22, 2019, No. 446 (as amended by the Order of the Ministry of Healthcare of Ukraine dated August 18, 2021, No. 1753). Namely, certification sheet, personal educational portfolio with continuing professional development (CPD) results, and certificate. Each of the documents is detailed. Document templates can be found in Appendices 1, 2, and 3 to the Order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine No. 446, freely available on the official website of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. Personal educational portfolio deserves special attention, in which the doctor who is undergoing certification must chronologically indicate the CPD activities for the past year, the place of their implementation, the duration or/and bibliographic reference and the number of accrued CPD points. Also, this document requires to indicate the number of medical services provided by doctor during the reporting period (except for the specialties specified in Appendix 5 to the Procedure for the Certification of Doctors and the specialty “Organization and Management of Health Care”). Another purpose of this article is to provide samples of certificates on the assignment and confirmation of qualification categories to doctors-stomatologists-surgeons. The presented certificates were issued by certification commissions at various health care bodies of Ukraine, namely, at (1) the Department of Healthcare of the Kyiv Regional State Administration and (2) the Ministry of Healthcare of Ukraine. All three certificates were issued in 2021.
