Moldovan documents come up regularly in our work, often connected to citizenship, family, or property matters between Moldova and Russia. A note on the language itself: Moldovan is linguistically Romanian, and Moldova’s parliament established Romanian as the country’s official language by law in 2023. We translate Moldovan documents as Romanian-language documents, and the translation is the same either way.
Moldovan Documents Translated Into Russian
A Moldovan birth certificate, marriage certificate, diploma, or notarial power of attorney has no standing with a Russian authority until it is translated into Russian by a translator registered with a specific Russian notary and certified under Article 81 of Russian notary law. This comes up often for people gathering documents for Russian citizenship by descent or repatriation, as well as for family and inheritance matters. A translation produced in Moldova is not accepted on its own; the certification step has to happen in Russia. We handle the full process as part of our notarized translation service.
Russian Documents Translated Into Moldovan (Romanian)
The reverse also comes up: a Russian birth, marriage, or education document that needs a certified Romanian-language translation for use in Moldova, or a third country. We prepare the translation from Russian and can advise on whether the receiving office also expects an apostille, which we can arrange here in Krasnodar for Russian-issued originals. See our from-Russia hub for the general process of taking a Russian document abroad.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Moldovan the same language as Romanian?
Yes, linguistically. Moldovan and Romanian are the same language, and Moldova's parliament established Romanian as the country's official language by law in 2023. We translate Moldovan documents using the Romanian-language pair, and the result is the same.
Can you translate a Moldovan birth or marriage certificate into Russian?
Yes. We translate Moldovan birth, marriage, and death certificates into Russian and have the translator's signature certified by a Russian notary, which is the format Russian authorities expect.
I need Moldovan documents translated for Russian citizenship by descent. Can you help?
Yes. Birth and marriage certificates, and other supporting documents, are commonly needed for citizenship and repatriation cases. Send us a scan and we will confirm exactly what is needed and the turnaround.
Will a translation done in Moldova be accepted by a Russian notary?
Usually not. Russian authorities generally require a notarized translation from a translator registered with a specific Russian notary, under Article 81 of Russian notary law, so the certification step needs to happen in Russia.
Can you translate my Russian documents into Moldovan?
Yes. We translate Russian civil, education, and legal documents into Romanian for use in Moldova.
Do you handle the apostille for these documents?
We do not apostille foreign documents ourselves; that is done in the document's country of origin. For Russian documents heading abroad, we can arrange the apostille in Krasnodar.
Questions from our readers
Can you provide examples of previous technical translation projects you have completed for clients in Moldova or for Moldovan companies?
I’m terribly sorry, but we do not provide translations done for other companies for confidentiality reasons. Instead, we can perform a small fragment of Moldovan translation for your company free of charge to evaluate the quality of our work.
What experience do your translators have with industry-specific technical documents, such as engineering, medical, or IT-related content?
Our translators have extensive experience in various industries, including engineering, medical, and IT sectors. Each translator has a background in the relevant field and has worked on numerous technical translation projects. For example, we have translated user manuals for engineering equipment, clinical trial documents for the medical industry, and software documentation for IT companies. This ensures they understand the nuances and specific terminologies of each industry.
How do you ensure the translated technical documents are compliant with Moldovan regulatory standards?
We ensure compliance with Moldovan regulatory standards by working closely with local experts and staying updated on the latest regulations. Our translators are familiar with national and industry-specific regulations, ensuring that all translations meet the required standards. We also collaborate with legal advisors when necessary to ensure complete compliance.
Do you offer localization services in addition to translation to ensure that the technical documents are culturally appropriate for the Moldovan market?
Yes, we offer comprehensive localization services to ensure that your technical documents are culturally appropriate for the Moldovan market. This involves adapting the content to meet local cultural norms, industry standards, and regulatory requirements. Our translators not only translate the text but also consider cultural nuances and preferences to ensure the final product resonates with the Moldovan audience.

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 a specific Russian notary, as required under Article 81 of Russian notary law.
