The process
How your translation is made.
A clear sequence, from the photo on your phone to a filing-ready PDF.
02
Translated, format-matched
Rendered into English that mirrors the original layout, so an adjudicator can compare it line for line.
03
Names & details verified
Your name is matched to your passport spelling, patronymics preserved, registry numbers and dates checked.
04
Certified & signed
A competent bilingual translator signs the certificate of accuracy USCIS requires. You receive a PDF with the original attached.
Built for Russian documents
Not just any language — yours.
Russian civil records carry things most translation services mishandle: three-part names, ЗАГС registry formatting, Soviet-era institutions that no longer exist. The details an officer notices.
How your name is spelled
Check a Russian name against passport spelling before the file is started.
Name on the document

Passport spelling to use

Passport spelling matches the ICAO draft.

✓AleksandrICAO draft
×AlexanderCommon mistake → RFE
Translator noteAleksandr is used for Александр to match the bearer’s passport spelling across the filing packet.
Verno follows the spelling in your passport, not a default, and keeps it consistent across every document you file.
Passport-matched transliteration
Александр becomes Aleksandr, not Alexander. Older documents use GOST; passports use ICAO. We reconcile them to your passport so identity is never in question.
Patronymics preservedотчество
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.
ЗАГС formatting reproduced
Act-record numbers, registry office names, and civil-status annotations are reproduced exactly. These are the fields officers cross-check.
Soviet-era documents
USSR institutions and grading scales are noted with their modern equivalents, so a 1987 diploma reads clearly in 2026.

Begin your translation →Questions
Before you file.
Do I need a professional translator for USCIS?
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.
Is notarization required?
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.
Can you handle Soviet-era or other post-Soviet documents?
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.
My name is spelled differently across my documents. Is that a problem?
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.
How fast will I get it?
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.
