Russian is the language ATT Translation Services was built around. Notarized translation into Russian is our core specialty and the foundation the rest of the company grew from: foreign documents translated and certified so that Russian authorities accept them. Alongside that main line of work, we translate Russian documents the other way too, from Russian into English, German, and other languages, for people who need their Russian paperwork accepted abroad. This page is the starting point for anything involving the Russian language. More specific pages for Ukrainian, Belarusian, and Moldovan documents branch off from here.
Translating Foreign Documents Into Russian
Most of our work runs in this direction. A birth certificate, marriage certificate, diploma, or power of attorney issued abroad carries no legal weight in Russia until it exists in Russian, translated by a translator registered with a specific Russian notary and certified under Article 81 of Russian notary law. That is why a translation done outside Russia, however accurate, is usually not accepted on its own by a Russian ZAGS office, court, bank, or university admissions department. The certification step has to happen here. Our notarized translation service covers the process in detail, and our services hub lists everything we handle in this direction.
Translating Russian Documents for Use Abroad
The reverse comes up just as often: a Russian birth, marriage, or education document that needs to be translated into another language before it can be used outside Russia. We prepare certified translations from Russian into the destination language, and where the receiving country requires it, we can also arrange the apostille here in Krasnodar before the document leaves Russia. Our from-Russia hub walks through that process, including the specific route covered on apostilled translation of Russian documents.
Documents We Regularly Translate Into and From Russian
- Birth, marriage, and death certificates
- Diplomas, transcripts, and other education records
- Powers of attorney and other notarial documents
- Corporate documents such as extracts, charters, and contracts
- Court decisions and other legal documents
Russian sits at the center of every language pair we handle, but the practical requirements shift depending on the second language involved. If your documents involve Ukrainian, Belarusian, or Moldovan alongside Russian, the language-specific pages linked below cover the details particular to that pair. For the complete list of languages we work with, see Languages We Translate.
Prices vary by document type, length, and direction, so we don’t quote a flat rate here. See our pricing page for typical ranges, or send a scan through our order page or Telegram for an exact quote.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you translate both into and from Russian?
Yes. Translating foreign documents into Russian, for use with Russian authorities, is our main line of work. We also translate Russian documents into other languages for people who need them accepted abroad.
Why can't I just get my document translated in my own country?
Russian authorities generally require a notarized Russian translation produced by a translator registered with a specific Russian notary, under Article 81 of Russian notary law. A translation done abroad, even by a qualified translator, usually does not meet this requirement on its own.
Do I need an apostille as well as a translation?
It depends on the direction and the document. Foreign documents usually need an apostille from their country of origin before we translate them into Russian. Russian documents heading abroad sometimes need an apostille too, which we can arrange in Krasnodar. Tell us your situation and we will confirm what applies.
How long does a Russian translation take?
It depends on the document and its length. Most personal documents, such as certificates or a power of attorney, are ready within a few business days. Send us a scan and we will confirm the exact turnaround.
Can you help if my documents are in a related language, like Ukrainian or Belarusian?
Yes. We handle Ukrainian, Belarusian, and Moldovan documents alongside Russian regularly; see our dedicated pages for each pair for details specific to that language.
Are you a notary or a government office?
No. We are a translation service. We work with translators registered with Russian notaries to produce notarized translations, but the notarization itself is performed by the notary, not by us.
Questions from our readers
If you have any questions about translations from or into Russian, please be kind enough to write them here. We will be sure to answer them in detail.
How do you handle updates and revisions to technical documents that may occur after the initial translation?
We understand that technical documents often require updates and revisions. We offer ongoing support and a streamlined process for handling updates. Our team ensures that all changes are integrated seamlessly, maintaining the document’s consistency and accuracy. We use version control systems to track changes and ensure that the latest version of your document is always up to date. Additionally, we offer discounted rates for revisions and updates to existing translations.

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.
