Certified translation

Certified translation is a translation of a document performed by a qualified certified translator, whose signature is certified by a notary. Thus, the translation of document becomes legal within the territory of the country, where it was certified.

For the purpose of document to be valid abroad, it must be legalized by consular legalization or affixing an apostille stamp, after which a translation is made, that is certified by a notary.

Everything is stitched together and sealed with a notary’s seal

IMPORTANT! The person who contacts the bureau must know the correct writing of the last name and first name of the persons indicated in the document in Latin according to the foreign passport. Translation agency employees have the right to clarify this issue or ask for a foreign passport (copy or photo). If the client does not have a foreign passport and his last name, first name and patronymic have not been translated before, they will be translated in accordance with generally accepted transliteration rules.
