Sworn translations in Russian

Russian-language documents come from the Russian Federation and several post-Soviet countries. We handle civil-status certificates, qualifications, criminal records and deeds for residence, reunification, study, work and citizenship.

Documents we translate in Russian

We handle the whole file — translation, swearing-in at Court and apostille if needed — for the documents most requested by the Russian community:

What to keep in mind

Transliteration of names from Cyrillic

We render names and surnames consistently with the passport and your existing documents, to avoid discrepancies between different records.

Apostille and legalization

For documents intended for abroad we arrange apostille or legalization after the swearing-in, depending on the issuing and destination country.

Documents from several Russian-speaking countries

Documents written in Russian may come from different states: we check stamps, issuing authorities and the requirements of your procedure.

Translating from Russian and transliterating names

With Russian-language documents the most delicate point is the transliteration of names and surnames from Cyrillic: the spelling must match the passport and your other documents, otherwise offices may dispute the person's identity. We keep this consistency and check stamps and issuing authorities, which can vary among the different Russian-speaking countries.

We handle civil-status certificates, qualifications, deeds and criminal records: for example the birth certificate and the criminal record. When the document must be valid abroad, we tell you whether apostille or legalization is needed depending on the destination country.
