How much does certified Russian to English translation cost?

Certified Russian to English translation at TheWordPoint is priced per page: birth certificate (свидетельство о рождении) $24.75; marriage certificate $25.80; divorce certificate $26.90; death certificate $24.75; police clearance certificate $24.75; school certificate (аттестат) $24.75; university diploma $26.90; diploma supplement or transcript $28.90; employment record book (трудовая книжка) $18.75; internal passport, ID, or driver's license $18.75. Multi-page documents have lower per-page rates. Every order includes a signed Translation Accuracy Certificate that meets USCIS requirements under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). Notarization is not required for USCIS.

Do you translate Soviet-era birth and marriage certificates?

Yes. We translate USSR certificates issued in Russia and in the other Soviet republics. Many were printed in Russian and the republic's language — for example Russian and Ukrainian, Uzbek, or Armenian — and include entries such as nationality. We translate every part of the document, including stamps and handwritten entries.

How should a Russian patronymic appear on US forms?

A Russian full name has three parts: given name, patronymic (derived from the father's name), and surname — for example Ivan Petrovich Sidorov. The patronymic is not a true middle name, but US forms often record it in the middle-name field. Our certified translations show each part clearly, in the order that matches your passport, so your documents stay consistent.

Why is my name spelled differently on my passport and my translation?

Russian names can be romanized in several ways. Current Russian international passports use an ICAO-based system — for example Юлия becomes Iuliia — while older passports and US records may use Yulia or Julia. We match the spelling in your current passport or earlier immigration documents. Tell us your preferred spelling when you order.

Do you translate the трудовая книжка (employment record book)?

Yes. The трудовая книжка is the official employment record book used in Russia and other former Soviet countries. It is often required to prove work experience for employment-based immigration and credential evaluation. We translate every entry, including employers, positions, dates, order numbers, and stamps, with consistent job titles throughout.

Can you translate old Russian Empire church records?

Yes. Russian Empire metrical books (метрические книги) recorded births, marriages, and deaths for Orthodox, Catholic, Lutheran, Jewish, and Muslim communities, often in pre-1918 Russian spelling with letters such as ѣ and і. Dates before February 1918 follow the Julian calendar; we give both dates. These records cover today's Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, and parts of Poland. Send a scan for a quote.

How fast can you translate my Russian document?

Certified personal documents of 1–2 pages are typically delivered within 24 hours. Professional projects of 1,000–5,000 words usually take 2–3 business days. Urgent delivery is available on request.

Russian Translation Services — Certified English ↔ Russian

Q: How do I get a document translated for use in Russia?

For official use in Russia, foreign documents usually need an apostille on the original, and the Russian translation is typically certified by a notary in Russia, who confirms the translator's signature. Powers of attorney are often signed at a Russian consulate instead. Requirements vary by institution, so confirm with the recipient. We translate English documents into Russian and prepare them to fit the receiving office's requirements.

Certified and professional translation between English and Russian (русский) in both directions, by native Russian translators. Civil records, diplomas, and employment books from Russia, the former Soviet Union, and CIS countries for USCIS; English documents for use in Russia and Central Asia; legal, compliance, financial, and technical translation; and Russian Empire records for family research. Most certified documents delivered in 24 hours — from scans or photos.

Russian Records and Genealogy

The Russian old metrical books (метрические книги) recorded births, marriages, and deaths for Orthodox, Catholic, Lutheran, Jewish, and Muslim communities — across today's Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, and central Poland (where records were kept in Russian from 1868). We translate:

Metrical book entries, including Jewish community records in Russian and Hebrew
Revision lists (ревизские сказки) and census records
Passports, emigration, and military conscription records
Soviet-era archival documents and letters

Older records use pre-1918 spelling (letters such as ѣ, і, and ѳ), and dates before February 1918 follow the Julian calendar — we give both dates. Send a scan or an archive link, and we'll quote based on length and legibility.
