What We Need to Translate Your Russian Birth Certificate
To start the translation, you can provide a clear scan, photograph or PDF of your Russian birth certificate.
The document should be:
Complete
Clearly readable
High enough quality for all details to be identified
Inclusive of both sides if the certificate contains information on both sides
Inclusive of stamps, seals and handwritten entries where relevant

Translation of Old Russian Birth Certificates
We also translate older Russian-language birth certificates and civil-status documents.
Some applicants have birth certificates issued many years ago, and older documents may contain terminology, abbreviations, stamps or handwritten information that requires careful interpretation. A professional translator should consider the historical format of the document rather than translating each word mechanically.
Where a document is difficult to read because of its age, image quality or handwriting, we can identify the information that is visible and translate it appropriately. If part of the document cannot be read, it is preferable to identify the issue rather than inventing or guessing information.
Russian Birth Certificate Translation with Certification
Our service combines professional Russian-to-English translation with certification for official use.
The completed translation can be prepared with certification information confirming that the translation is a true and accurate translation of the original document, subject to the certification format applicable to the service ordered.
A certified translation should make it clear which document has been translated and provide appropriate translator or certification details.
If your UK authority, solicitor, university, employer or other institution has specified particular certification wording or additional requirements, you should tell us before ordering so that the translation can be prepared accordingly.
Is Notarisation Required?
Notarisation and certification are not the same thing.
A certified translation is prepared and certified in accordance with the requirements of the translation service. Notarisation involves a separate notarial process.
For many applications, applicants are primarily concerned with obtaining an acceptable certified translation rather than a notarised translation. However, requirements can vary depending on the authority, application type and circumstances.
If your particular application specifically asks for notarisation, apostille, legalisation or another form of authentication, please provide those requirements before placing your order so that we can advise you on the available service.
Why Choose Professional Russian Birth Certificate Translation?
A birth certificate is an important identity and civil-status document. Even a small translation error can change the meaning of a name, date, place or relationship.

Cyrillic personal names
Russian place names
Civil registry terminology
Dates and numbers
Official titles
Registration information
Stamps and seals
Handwritten amendments
Abbreviations
Parent and child information
Our translators pay attention to the details that distinguish an official document translation from a simple word-for-word translation.
Russian Names and Transliteration
Russian names can appear in different English transliterations. This is particularly important for UK visa and immigration applications because the spelling of your name may need to correspond with your passport and other documents.
When translating your birth certificate, the translator should consider the information contained in the original and the requirements of the application. If you have an existing official English spelling of your name used in your passport or other documents, provide that information when ordering the translation.
Consistency between documents can make your application easier to understand and reduce avoidable discrepancies.
