If you have a Russian-language document that needs to be submitted to a UK authority, court, university, employer, solicitor, bank or other organisation, we can translate the document into English and provide an appropriate certification statement confirming the accuracy of the translation.
Our service covers documents issued in Russia and other Russian-speaking jurisdictions. We work with personal, civil-status, immigration, educational, employment, medical, financial, legal, corporate and property documents.
A certified translation is different from an ordinary translation. Depending on the organisation receiving the document, the translation may need to be accompanied by a certification confirming that the translator considers the translation to be a true and accurate representation of the original.
