Translation of the certificate may be necessary both for foreign citizens in the Russian Federation and for Russians when traveling to other countries. You may be asked to present a translation of this certificate in various cases. For example, for:
- confirmation of previous and new surname;

Do I need to put an apostille on the translation of my marriage certificate?
When traveling to European and American countries, you may indeed need to undergo apostilization. And for some countries it is necessary to make a double Apostille - first on the original certificate and then on its translation. For countries that have not acceded to the Hague Convention, even more complicated legalization through a consulate will be required. We provide both of these services.
