Certified Translation in Russia – What It Is and Why It Matters
A certified translation (заверенный перевод) in Russia is an accurate translation of your documents submitted for official use. Your translation must be notarised by a Russian notary or prepared by a translator whose signature is certified by a notary.
Whether you are applying for a visa, citizenship or a Russian passport, the authorities require this type of translation. Depending on the receiving body and document purpose, your certified translation may also need to be accompanied by an apostille or consular legalisation.
Submitting self-translated documents or documents translated by an unrecognised translator will lead to rejection, delayed application, and other issues.
Translayte is a leading provider of certified translation services for official procedures with courts, notaries, universities, banks, and migration authorities. Our translations are handled by native speakers who understand the language and the formatting requirements of Russian and global authorities.
Every translation is done by a translator recognised by Russian authorities and accompanied by a notary’s seal and signature confirming its accuracy. With our Russian translation services, you can expect 100% acceptance, on-time delivery and application processes without delays.
