Certified Russian English Translations

Unlike many other European countries, the UK does not have a system of ‘sworn' translators. Certified translations in the UK are provided by members of professional associations, such as the Chartered Institute of Linguists.  As a full member of the CIOL I am qualified to provide certified Russian to English or English to Russian translation of corporate and private documents for official use in the UK and most other European countries as well as many other English-speaking countries of the world.

I issue certified translations of official documents for such institutions as the Home Office, embassies and consulates, NARIC, academic institutions, banks, hospitals and courts of law.

I usually work with a high quality scanned copy of the original document. I can prepare a translation draft of a short document such as a Birth Certificate within one working day. When the draft translation is ready I will email it to you for verification of names.

The translator’s certificate will contain the certification text, my contact details and my CIOL membership number; it will be signed and stamped.

DELIVERY

The completed translation will be posted to you with the original translation accompanied by a translator’s certificate. The documents are dispatched by post or electronically once I receive proof of payment. Regular 1st class delivery in the UK is free of charge but if you need Next Day delivery, the documents can be sent by “1st Class Sign For” or “Special Delivery” at extra cost. Please check the delivery prices here. 

CERTIFIED TRANSLATION REQUIREMENTS

Please note that translation certification requirements of different UK institutions, and especially those abroad, vary greatly. You should always contact the institution you intend to submit the certified translations to before ordering a certified translation.  

NOTARISATION OF TRANSLATED DOCUMENTS

Unlike Russia, Ukraine or other countries of the former Soviet Union, most British authorities such as Home-Office, hospitals  or universities do not require the translations produced by the UK-based professional translator to be further certified by a notary. But, if your translated documents do need to be further notarised for their use at the Court of Law or for obtaining an apostille I can arrange an appointment with a notary and get my translation further certified by them.

APOSTILLES AND LEGALISATION OF DOCUMENTS

If you wish I can provide document legalisation services in the UK, however you can easily cut out the agency cost by doing it yourself through submitting the original UK documents to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO). You should be able to receive your documents with apostilles within a week and once you have them ready simply scan them and email them to me for their translation into Russian**.
