You can trust us with your certified Russian to English translation needs — we have been in the Russian translation business since 2007. We focus on the certified translation of documents in Russian and Ukrainian, mostly from the former Soviet republics: Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
Our translations are performed by a team of highly qualified native Russian translators who are fluent in English. The translation process includes several levels of review covering grammar, syntax, and the correct spelling of names and geographical locations. We are very particular about word choice and usage, and that is what makes us stand out from the crowd.
A fully translated English document
A certified translation from us is considered a fully translated English-language document and is presented on official letterhead. It comes with a Certificate of Translation that includes the certifier's name, signature, address and date of certification. We also sign a statement confirming that the translation is complete and accurate, and that we are competent to perform the translation. Each translation is also notarized.
The USCIS instructions do not expressly require translations to be notarized. In our experience, however, the translator's certification is usually expected to be notarized, so it is worth keeping in mind when you submit translations — it helps ensure they are accepted without questions.
We can email the translated documents to you in as little as one or two days. Our translations are accepted by USCIS; local, state and federal courts; schools, community colleges and universities; the U.S. Social Security Administration; American banks, insurance companies and hospitals; and credential evaluation agencies.
Our certified translation service helps you avoid delays in the application process for your key supporting documents.

From a basic birth certificate to a complicated legal document
Excellent customer service, affordable pricing and inside-out knowledge of the translation industry reflect the vibrancy of our language service.
Vital records
Certified translations of government-issued records of life events — birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, divorce certificates, name change certificates and adoption certificates — are required for immigration, proof of identity and submission to courts. These translations must be accurate and grammatically correct.
Education documents
If you want to continue your education, apply for a job, receive a professional license or immigrate to the U.S., you will need to translate your university diplomas, transcripts, academic records and high school diplomas. Our certified translations are widely used for submissions to credential evaluation agencies such as ECE, WES, ECFMG and IERF.
Legal documents
Legal translation must be precise, and we know how to translate all types of legal documents accurately and efficiently. The documents we work with most often are divorce decrees, prenuptial agreements, non-disclosure agreements, patents, licenses and police certificates. Our translations are backed by an affidavit of translation accuracy.
Other documents
We provide accurate, high-quality translations of every type of document and strive for 100% defect-free work — passports, driver's licenses, police certificates, vaccination records, military record books, employment record books, tax forms and title certificates.
Certified translation nuances
What is a certified translation?
A certified translation of a Russian-language document into English is needed when the original is not in English and has to be presented or submitted to an English-speaking audience or authority. This is often required for legal, academic or immigration purposes, and it ensures that the information in the original Russian record is properly conveyed in English.
A certified translation includes a statement signed by one of our translators or an agency representative attesting to the accuracy and completeness of the translation. With a certified translation from us, the English version of your birth or marriage certificate is valid and meets the requirements of USCIS, U.S. colleges and universities, evaluation agencies, medical offices, U.S. employers and other organizations.
We translate exactly what's in the original
We translate only what is in the original document and do not add or remove any content. Our translations are complete and match the original exactly.
For example, if a birth certificate includes a person's full name with a patronymic, we keep the patronymic in the translation — even if your American documents or forms don't include one. This keeps the translation as close to the original as possible and ensures it is accepted as accurate by all relevant authorities and organizations.
Translations for the DMV
When submitting a certified translation or a letter of verification form to a DMV office, we highly recommend including a statement that the document was not translated by a family member, friend or business associate. This helps the DMV officer accept the translation as valid and reliable, and helps prevent any suspicion of fraud or misrepresentation of the translated content.
We don't work with originals
We work exclusively with digital copies or scans of your documents, never with the original paper copies. This way there is no risk of your originals being damaged or lost in the mail, and we can provide fast, safe service without putting your important documents at risk.
