Certified Russian translation and notarization for documents from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and other former Soviet republics. We translate свидетельства, diplomas, military records, and Soviet-era civil documents — with consistent Cyrillic-to-Latin transliteration matching your passport spelling for USCIS acceptance.
Our Russian translators are experienced with documents spanning decades of Soviet and post-Soviet history — from RSFSR/USSR-era birth certificates with archaic formatting to modern Russian Federation documents from ЗАГС (Civil Registry Offices). They handle Cyrillic-to-Latin transliteration using the BGN/PCGN system and match names precisely to passport romanization, which is critical for avoiding USCIS Requests for Evidence.
From an older Soviet-era свидетельство о рождении for a naturalization application to a modern Russian university diploma for WES evaluation, or a complete трудовая книжка (employment record book) for an EB visa petition, our Russian team provides consistently accurate certified translations.
Signed Certificate of Accuracy included with every translation — accepted by USCIS, courts, and universities
24-hour turnaround for most certified document translations — same-day rush available
Every project undergoes dual-review quality assurance by a second independent linguist
Russian presents unique linguistic challenges that machine translation and non-specialist translators consistently fail to handle correctly.
Russian names and places must be transliterated consistently from Cyrillic to Latin script. Multiple transliteration systems exist (BGN/PCGN, ISO 9, passport system) — USCIS requires matching passport transliteration exactly.
Russian has six grammatical cases that convey relationships between words. Legal documents use specific case forms that, if misinterpreted, can change the meaning of obligations and rights.
Many Russian speakers submitting immigration documents have older Soviet-era civil documents with archaic terminology, different formatting, and RSFSR/USSR institutional references that require historical knowledge.
Russian names include a patronymic (отчество) derived from the father's first name. Immigration documents must preserve the full three-part name structure and transliterate it consistently.
See why Google Translate and AI tools can't replace certified human translators for legal documents. A single mistranslated term can delay your case or invalidate your filing.

USCIS, immigration courts, and state agencies require certified translations of all foreign-language documents. Our Russian translations meet every federal and state requirement.
Every Russian translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy — a sworn statement by the translator attesting that the translation is complete and accurate. This is the minimum requirement for USCIS filings, court submissions, and academic credential evaluations (WES, ECE, NACES members).
A notarized translation adds a notary public’s verification that the translator’s signature is authentic. Some state courts, foreign consulates, and government agencies require notarization in addition to certification. We provide notarized Russian translations with same-day availability.
For Russian documents being used internationally, an apostille certifies their authenticity under the Hague Convention. We coordinate apostille services with the Secretary of State’s office, providing a complete package: certified translation + notarization + apostille — ready for international legal use.
