Notarized translation of documents

Translation of passport into English

Why do I need a notarized translation of my passport into English?

Passport is the main document that certifies a person's identity. Its translation into English is often needed by Russian citizens when traveling to other countries, for example, for:

  • admission to a foreign school, college or university;
  • execution of powers of attorney;
  • opening a foreign bank account;
  • conclusion of contracts, real estate transactions;
  • official employment in another country;
  • starting an international business or branch office;
  • applying for a foreign citizenship or residence permit.

In most of these cases, the main page of the document with personal data is translated, as well as the page with stamps on registration at the place of residence, information on marital status and children. In some situations, the remaining pages are additionally translated.

Do I need to put an apostille on the translation of my passport?

Recently, more and more often we are faced with the fact that foreign partners and authorities ask to put an Apostille on a passport translation - a stamp of international standard, which gives the document legal force outside the Russian Federation in the states that have signed the Hague Convention. In this case, when preparing the papers, it is necessary not to forget about a few things, and the whole procedure happens in several stages:

  1. preparation of a notarized copy of the passport;
  2. translation into English;
  3. notary certification of the authenticity of the translator's signature;
  4. applying to the Ministry of Justice for apostille.

I'm happy to say that Sergey was great to work with. He was professional and helpful from the start. It was clear that he was eager to assist with the services provided by the company. He gave useful advice on paperwork, which showed that he had a lot of experience. He was also very responsive and punctual in fulfilling the order. I liked that the company was open on a Friday evening, as many similar organizations had already closed. Overall, I would definitely recommend working with this company.
