About the Ukrainian language.
Ukrainian is the official language of Ukraine. It is a Slavic language written in the Cyrillic alphabet, with letters of its own such as і, ї, є and ґ. It is a separate language from Russian, with its own grammar, vocabulary and spelling.
Ukrainian is not Russian. Documents are translated from the language they are written in. Some older documents are in Russian, so check the page before you order. Ukrainian names can be written in the Latin alphabet in several ways. We follow the spelling in your passport, so names match across your documents.
Ukrainian names often include a patronymic (a middle name formed from the father's name). It is kept in the translation.
Ukrainian to English is usually personal, civil, academic and immigration documents. English to Ukrainian is usually public information, business and community content.
Common Ukrainian documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, degree certificates and police clearance certificates. A certified translation is available for these. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.
