Certified Russian translation for US filings.
Russian is the official language of Russia and a working language across much of the former Soviet space, including Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan. Verdacert translates Russian-language civil status records, ZAGS-issued certificates, internal and foreign passports, academic diplomas (диплом), and Soviet-era documents still in active use - for US immigration, asylum, family-based filings, and credential evaluation.

What our reviewers know about your documents
Russian civil documents are issued by ZAGS (записи актов гражданского состояния) offices and follow a registration-book format with annotations recording subsequent changes. Soviet-era documents (pre-1991) remain in active use for inheritance, immigration, and citizenship matters; Verdacert handles both modern Russian Federation documents and USSR-era records, transcribing all stamps and registry numbers exactly. Names are transliterated following USCIS-recognized conventions and aligned with any existing immigration paperwork. Dates use the day-month-year order.
Common source countries: Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Latvia, Estonia.
