Armenia has been a member of the Eurasian Economic Union since 2015, and Russia is home to one of the largest Armenian communities outside Armenia itself, so family and document ties between the two countries run deep. That means a steady stream of the same requests: an Armenian birth or marriage certificate needed for a ZAGS office, a citizenship application, or an inheritance case in Russia, or a Russian-issued document that needs to be translated into Armenian for use back in Armenia. We have translated between Russian and Armenian from our Krasnodar office since 2001, and every translator we use for documents headed into a Russian authority is registered with the notary who certifies the work.
Why an Armenian Document Still Needs a Russian Notary’s Certification
Being fluent in both Armenian and Russian, or having a translation already certified in Armenia, does not make a document acceptable to a Russian ZAGS office, court, or bank. Under Article 81 of the Fundamentals of Legislation on Notaries of the Russian Federation, a Russian notary certifies the signature of a translator who holds a recognized diploma and is registered with that notary’s office. Armenia and Russia are both parties to the CIS legal-assistance convention, so an apostille is often not required on an Armenian civil-status document — but this varies by document and receiving office, so we confirm it with you before you order. Either way, the notarized translation itself still has to be produced inside Russia, by a translator our notary already knows.
Sending a Russian Document to Armenia
The reverse direction is just as common: a Russian birth certificate, marriage certificate, or power of attorney that needs to be translated into Armenian for a notary, civil registry office, or family matter in Armenia. We translate the document accurately into Armenian and can prepare it as a clean, signed translation ready to submit; because certification requirements on the Armenian side depend on the specific receiving office, we recommend confirming with them in advance whether any additional local step is needed beyond our translation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an apostille on an Armenian document to use it in Russia?
Usually not, though this depends on the specific document and receiving office. Armenia and Russia are both parties to the CIS legal-assistance convention, so most Armenian civil-status documents — birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates — are accepted in Russia with a standard notarized translation and no apostille. Tell us your specific document and the receiving authority and we will confirm.
I speak both Armenian and Russian fluently. Can I translate my own document?
No. A Russian notary does not check whether a translation is accurate; the notary certifies the signature of a translator registered with that notary's office, under Article 81 of the Fundamentals of Legislation on Notaries. A self-translation, however accurate, cannot be certified this way.
What Armenian documents do you translate most often?
Birth, marriage, and death certificates, diplomas, and powers of attorney are the documents we see most, usually connected to a family matter, an inheritance case, or a citizenship or residency application in Russia.
Can you translate an Armenian death certificate for an inheritance case in Russia?
Yes. A notarized translation of a death certificate is one of the first documents a Russian notary asks for when opening an inheritance file. See our death certificate translation page for details on what to send.
Can you translate a Russian document into Armenian for use in Armenia?
Yes. We translate the document into Armenian; because we are a Russia-based service, we do not perform notarization inside Armenia, so we recommend confirming with the receiving Armenian office whether any local certification step is required in addition to the translation.
How long does an Armenian-Russian translation take?
Most single documents are ready in 2-3 business days once we have a clear scan. Send it through Telegram and we will confirm the exact timeline and price before you commit to anything.

We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice. We do not perform apostille or consular legalization ourselves — these are carried out solely in the document's country of origin. Notarized translation into Russian requires a translator registered with the certifying Russian notary under Article 81 of the Fundamentals of Legislation on Notaries; certification requirements for documents used inside Armenia are set by the receiving Armenian authority, not by us.
