What to Send Us
- A clear scan or photo of your child's or adult's vaccination record — typically a blue-green booklet (форма 063/у), medical card (амбулаторная карта), or a single-page immunization certificate (справка 086/у)
- If you have multiple documents (booklet + additional vaccine records), send them all so we translate the complete picture
- Your child's full name and date of birth as it appears on the vaccination record, so the translation matches exactly
- The country and institution where the child or adult will present the records — school, university, workplace, or immigration medical exam
- A mailing address in your destination country, and an email or phone for a quick update when your translation is ready
Why Russian Vaccination Records Need Careful Translation
Russian vaccination records use Russian vaccine names and abbreviations that do not match international databases. For example, “АКДС” (the Russian diphtheria-tetanus-whooping-cough vaccine) may be listed differently in global systems, and the dates on a Russian record follow a different calendar notation. When your child’s school or immigration authority reviews the record, they need to see the vaccine names clearly mapped to what they recognize, and the dates formatted without ambiguity. Our medical translators render the vaccine names, dates, and medical notation into clear English that a foreign school nurse or immigration officer can cross-check against the local vaccination schedule without confusion. A certified translation gives you proof that the translation is accurate and faithful to the original document.
Most schools abroad accept a certified translation on paper or email — an apostille on the original Russian booklet is rarely required for school forms, though some universities or countries may ask. We confirm with you what your specific school or institution expects before finalizing your order, so there are no surprises. If an apostille becomes necessary, we can arrange that as an add-on through our apostille service. Many families with multiple children can use a family package and save money by translating records for all children together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
The school abroad wants my child's shot records in English — what do I send?
Send us a clear scan of your child's vaccination booklet (форма 063/у), any separate immunization certificates (справка 086/у), and medical extract pages. We translate these into English and certify the translation. A certified translation is what most schools want — it shows a qualified translator reviewed the document and confirms the translation is faithful. You email the certified copy to the school or bring it to enrollment.
Is a certified translation different from an apostille?
Yes. A certified translation means a qualified translator certifies the translation is accurate. An apostille is a government seal on the original Russian document under the Hague Convention. For school forms, most institutions want a certified translation and do not need an apostille on the original booklet. For immigration medical exams or rare cases, some countries ask for an apostille on the original as well — we confirm with you what your specific destination requires.
How are Russian vaccine names translated into English?
Russian vaccines use abbreviations like АКДС (diphtheria-tetanus-whooping cough), полиомиелит (polio), краснуха (rubella), or Спутник V (Sputnik V COVID vaccine). Our translators render these clearly into standard English vaccine names and dates in ISO format so a foreign school or immigration officer can match them against their records without guessing. We also note the date in both Russian (calendar) and international format so there is no confusion about when each shot was given.
Can I send a photo from my phone, or does it have to be a professional scan?
A clear, readable photo from your phone is fine. As long as we can read the dates, vaccine names, and your child's name without strain, we can work with it. If a page is blurry or the text is hard to see, we will ask you to re-send a clearer version.
How fast can you do this before the school year starts?
Most vaccination records translate in 3–5 business days. If you have multiple children or documents, a family package takes 5–7 days. If you also need a notarized copy or apostille, add 2–3 more days. Order early in summer — we can usually turn it around in time, but August gets busy, so do not wait until the last week before school starts.
Do adults need vaccination records translated too, for work in healthcare or education?
Yes. If you are working in a school, hospital, or childcare setting abroad and need to show your immunization history, we translate your Russian vaccination booklet or medical records the same way. The process is identical — send us the scan, we translate and certify, and you have a document ready for your employer's medical file.

We are not medical professionals or immigration lawyers. Our certified translations of Russian vaccination records render the document faithfully into English for foreign schools, universities, and immigration medical exams. For schools, a certified translation is usually sufficient; for immigration or workplace medical exams, your destination country or employer may require an apostille on the original Russian document or additional medical review — we will confirm the requirements with you before finalizing your order. Typical delivery of the certified translation is 3–5 business days; if you also request a notarized or apostilled copy, add 2–3 more days. We do not provide medical advice or interpretation of vaccination schedules — we translate the documents as they are written.
