Certified Russian
Translation Services
Russian-language documents reach us from far more than one country. Certificates issued across the former Soviet Union are in Russian, on Soviet-era or successor-state forms, and a single family file often contains several of them from different decades and different republics.
All of it is translated by an accredited human linguist and certified with a signed declaration of accuracy on company letterhead, dated, with our wet stamp. Send a scan and you will have a fixed price and a delivery date before anything starts.
WHAT THE HOME OFFICE actually asks for
Where documents provided are not in English or Welsh, you must provide a full dated and signed translation in English that can be verified. This must be dated and include the full name and signature of the translator or an authorised official of the translation company and their contact details.
gov.uk guidance on documents in support of an application
Every Russian translation we issue carries all four elements – a full translation, a date, the translator named and signed, and contact details that can be checked – on company letterhead with our wet stamp. That is what acceptance actually turns on, and it is why we can guarantee it.

WHY EKO 4 for Russian
Anyone can say they translate Russian. These are the three things that actually decide whether a Russian file is accepted.
The diploma proves nothing without its supplement
A Russian or Soviet diploma states the qualification. The supplement – the prilozhenie or vkladysh – carries the subjects, the hours and the marks, and no admissions office or UK ENIC assessment can be made without it. Sending the diploma alone is the most common reason one of these files comes back for more evidence.
Your name may be spelled two ways by two passports
The rules for putting Cyrillic names into Latin letters on Russian passports have changed more than once, so an older passport and a newer one can spell the same person’s name differently – and older certificates may carry a French-influenced spelling older still. We use the spelling on your current passport throughout, note the source spelling, and keep it identical across every document in the file.
Every stamp is part of the document
Russian-language paperwork is dense with stamps, seals, notarial endorsements and registration numbers, frequently overlapping the text and running up the margins. All of it is translated and described in place, because a receiving body checks the endorsements as carefully as the text, and a translation that reproduces only the typed body is an incomplete one.

CERTIFIED, SWORN or apostilled – which do you need?
These are three different things and ordering the wrong one is the most common and most expensive mistake in the process. Which you need is decided entirely by who is receiving the document, and it is the first thing we check when you ask for a quote.

RUSSIAN translation – questions, answered
Will the Home Office accept a Russian translation from you?
Yes, and we guarantee acceptance. It is complete and word for word, including every seal, stamp and endorsement, and it is issued dated, on company letterhead, with the translator named and signed and our contact details on it.
My certificate is Soviet-era, from a country that no longer exists.
That is routine. Documents issued across the former Soviet Union are in Russian on forms that changed several times, and our linguists work with all of them. Send the whole set and it is translated as one consistent file rather than split between suppliers.
Do I need to send the diploma supplement as well?
Yes, if the translation is for a university, an employer or a UK ENIC assessment. The supplement holds the subjects, hours and marks; the diploma on its own carries none of that. We translate the pair as one job.
My name is spelled differently on my old and new passports.
Tell us which spelling your current passport uses and we use it throughout, with the source spelling noted so the difference is visible rather than hidden. An unexplained mismatch between documents is exactly what triggers a request for further evidence.
Can you handle notarised documents and powers of attorney?
Yes, including the notarial endorsements, registration numbers and stamps, which are usually the part the receiving body is checking.
Do you need my original documents?
No. A clear scan or photograph is enough for the entire job including certification. Your originals stay with you and a wet-stamped hard copy is posted to your address when you need one.
Send your Russian document
A scan or a phone photograph is enough. You will have an itemised written quote, a delivery date and an honest answer on what certification the receiving body actually wants – free, with no obligation, and handled confidentially under UK GDPR.
