A photo, scan, or PDF is enough. We identify whether it is an article, record, certificate, report, letter, or other Russian text.
Upload Russian documents, articles, letters, reports, certificates, and scans — rendered into English that keeps the full meaning, preserves names, dates, stamps, and structure, and can be reviewed and certified when you need a signed package.
A clear sequence, from the photo on your phone to an English draft or certified PDF.
A photo, scan, or PDF is enough. We identify whether it is an article, record, certificate, report, letter, or other Russian text.
Visible paragraphs, tables, stamps, seals, and handwritten notes are captured and rendered into English.
Passport spelling can be used when relevant; dates, registry numbers, identifiers, and source formatting are guarded.
A reviewer can confirm the draft and sign a certificate of accuracy when you need an official package.
Russian files carry things generic translation tools miss: long-form prose, three-part names, registry formatting, Soviet-era institutions, stamps, seals, and handwritten notes.
Name on the document
Passport spelling to use
Александр becomes Aleksandr, not Alexander. Older documents use GOST; passports use ICAO. We reconcile them to your passport so identity is never in question.
Your patronymic is a legal part of your name. We keep it, place it correctly in the Middle Name field, and add a translator note explaining it to the officer.
Act-record numbers, registry office names, and civil-status annotations are reproduced exactly. These are the fields officers cross-check.
USSR institutions and grading scales are noted with their modern equivalents, so a 1987 diploma reads clearly in 2026.
Headlines, authors, publication dates, paragraphs, and long-form prose.
Personal letters, declarations, explanations, and supporting statements.
ZAGS and Soviet-era registry records.
With every stamp and annotation.
Including the diploma supplement and grading scale.
Required for many adjustment-of-status filings.
Full employment history, page by page.
Decisions, powers of attorney, declarations.
For derivative and survivor petitions.
Statements and proof of funds.
If it is readable Russian text, we translate it.
A clean English translation draft, or a signed certified package when your use case requires one.
I, the assigned Verno reviewer, certify that I am competent to translate from Russian into English, and that the attached translation of the submitted source document is a complete and accurate translation to the best of my knowledge and ability.
You see the price before you upload a single document.
Free while Verno is in beta. Your document still goes through the same human review and certification gate.
Final page count is confirmed after OCR.
USCIS does not require a specific license or accreditation, but translations done by the applicant or a family member are flagged for a Request for Evidence far more often. An independent, competent certified translation is the safe path, and it is what we provide.
Not for most USCIS filings. The signed certificate of accuracy is what matters under 8 CFR § 103.2(b)(3). We offer notarization for cases where a court or consulate specifically asks for it.
Yes. Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus, and Uzbekistan, including USSR-era records. We note successor institutions and old grading scales so the translation reads clearly today.
It is common, and we handle it. We match the spelling to your passport and add a translator note explaining any variation, so your packet stays consistent and an officer can see the records belong to the same person.
Most one-to-three page documents are delivered within 24 hours, with a rush option for 12. Longer records take a little more time, and you will see the estimate before you order.
