Certified Russian Translation for USCIS and Official Use

Most people who need Russian translation need it certified, a signed statement of accuracy that official bodies require. For a US immigration application, USCIS requires a certified English translation of every Russian-language document, from birth and marriage certificates to police records. Universities and credential evaluators require certified translations of Russian diplomas and transcripts, and courts require them for legal proceedings.

PoliLingua provides certified Russian-to-English translations accepted by USCIS, universities, and government and legal bodies, with the certification statement included. Where a document also needs notarization or an apostille for use abroad, we handle that too. For full details on how certification works, see our certified translation services page.

Russian Document and Legal Translation

Beyond certified personal documents, we translate the full range of Russian and English materials, contracts and agreements, court and litigation documents, corporate and financial records, patents and technical documentation, and academic papers. Russian is a demanding language to translate well, its case system, flexible word order and idiom mean a literal rendering often reads wrong. Our translators are native speakers of the target language with subject-matter expertise, so legal terminology, technical detail and tone are correct.

Translate Your Russian Documents

Russian to English and English to Russian

We translate in both directions with native linguists of the target language. Russian-to-English is the most requested, for immigration, study, legal use and personal documents held by Russian speakers abroad, while English-to-Russian is used for contracts, technical documentation and content aimed at Russian-speaking audiences. Whichever direction you need, the translation is done by a native speaker of the language it's going into, which is what makes it read naturally.

Human vs Machine Russian Translation

Free tools can give you the gist of a Russian sentence, but they can't produce a valid translation of an official document. Russian's grammar and idiom trip up machine translation, and, decisively, no official body accepts a machine translation USCIS, universities and courts require a human certified translation. When the document matters, and especially when it must be certified, it needs a professional native translator, not an app.
