Notarized document translation and certification

Notarized document translation prepared for use with authorities in Ukraine and abroad, with the certification route confirmed in advance.

How we work

We check the document, language pair and receiving authority's requirements, select a qualified translator and agree the appropriate certification route. Spelling varies by country — notarized and notarised are the same word, and both describe work we do. For documents used abroad we also check whether an apostille or consular legalisation is required.

Frequently asked questions

What does the notary certify?

The route depends on the document, translator and receiving authority. A manager confirms the available option after reviewing the materials.

Is the original document required?

Some procedures require an original. A clear scan or photograph is often enough for the initial assessment.

Can I order remotely?

Yes. After review, we agree how originals are transferred and how the finished document is delivered.

Notarized or notarised — which one do you do?

Both: it is the same word. "Notarized" is the American spelling and "notarised" the British one, and they describe an identical procedure. Whichever form the institution asking for your document uses, the work is the same and we do it. The same applies to authorised/authorized translation and legalisation/legalization — the spelling varies by country, the service does not.

Certified, notarized or sworn translation — which do I actually need?

These are three different things, and institutions are not always precise about which they mean. A certified translation carries the agency's seal and a statement of accuracy — enough for many employers, universities and internal use. A notarized translation adds a notary certifying the translator's signature, the usual Ukrainian procedure for official submissions. A sworn translation is made by a translator holding state authority in a specific country (Poland, Spain, Germany and others), and a Ukrainian notarized translation cannot substitute for it. Tell us where the document is going and we will say which of the three applies.
