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. Other Slavic languages we translate include Belarusian, Bosnian, Bulgarian and Croatian.
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.

Certified Ukrainian translation
For official documents, tell us which institution will receive your Ukrainian translation and send its written requirements. We assess the language pair and confirm whether the project needs a signed statement of accuracy, a sworn translator or another process. Acceptance is decided by the receiving institution.
Common documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, degree certificates and police clearance certificates. Requirements differ between courts, embassies, universities and immigration authorities, so tell us where the Ukrainian translation will be submitted and send any written instructions you have. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.
Ukrainian legal translation

Each project is assigned to a linguist with the right language pair and subject expertise, and managed by a named project manager.
