Kazakhstan and Russia are both members of the Eurasian Economic Union, which is why so many Kazakhstani citizens come to work, study, or settle in Russia, and why so many Russian residents hold documents issued in Kazakhstan through family, education, or past employment there. Either way, the paperwork usually lands on our desk for the same reason: a Russian employer, university, ZAGS office, bank, or the migration service needs a document written in Kazakh to be readable and legally usable in Russian, or a Russian-issued document needs to travel the other way for use in Kazakhstan. We have translated between Russian and Kazakh 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 a Kazakh Document Still Needs a Russian Notary’s Certification
Being fluent in both Kazakh and Russian does not make a translation acceptable to a Russian authority. 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 — a document translated by a relative, a bilingual colleague, or even a translation agency abroad that is not registered this way will usually be turned away by ZAGS, a university admissions office, a bank, or the migration service. Kazakhstan and Russia are both parties to the CIS legal-assistance convention, so an apostille is often not required on a Kazakh 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 done inside Russia, by a translator our notary already knows.
Sending a Russian Document to Kazakhstan
The reverse direction comes up just as often: a Russian birth certificate, diploma, or power of attorney that needs to be translated into Kazakh for a Kazakhstani employer, university, notary, or civil registry office. We translate the document accurately into Kazakh and can prepare it as a clean, signed translation ready to submit; because certification requirements on the Kazakhstani side depend on the specific receiving office, we recommend confirming with them in advance whether they need any additional local step beyond our translation, and we are happy to advise based on what other clients in a similar situation have told us.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an apostille on a Kazakh document to use it in Russia?
Usually not, though this depends on the specific document and receiving office. Kazakhstan and Russia are both parties to the CIS legal-assistance convention, so most Kazakh civil-status documents — birth certificates, marriage certificates, diplomas — 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 Kazakh and Russian fluently. Can I just 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 and will not be accepted by ZAGS, a bank, or the migration service.
What Kazakh documents do you translate most often?
Birth and marriage certificates, diplomas and academic transcripts, employment records and work books, and powers of attorney are the documents we see most, in both directions between Russian and Kazakh.
I am a Kazakhstani citizen working in Russia. What usually needs translating?
Most often a diploma or employment record for an employer or the migration service, and sometimes a birth or marriage certificate if you are handling a family matter, such as registering a marriage or enrolling a child in school, while in Russia.
Can you translate a Russian document into Kazakh for use in Kazakhstan?
Yes. We translate the document into Kazakh; because we are a Russia-based service, we do not perform notarization inside Kazakhstan, so we recommend confirming with the receiving Kazakhstani office whether any local certification step is required in addition to the translation.
How long does a Kazakh-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 Kazakhstan are set by the receiving Kazakhstani authority, not by us.
