Certified Russian diploma translation for Apostille.

Diplomas issued by Russian-speaking jurisdictions are among the most-translated civil documents in US apostille filings. Diploma and degree certificate translation for US admissions, licensing boards, and credential evaluations.

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. Verdacert's reviewer pool covers Modern Standard Russian, Soviet-era administrative Russian, Russian as a second official language, with country-specific document conventions from Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and beyond.

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.

Verdacert coordinates apostille filing through the relevant US Secretary of State for documents being used abroad. Pricing includes our service fee plus state pass-through fees (which vary by state).

For diploma translations specifically, our reviewers focus on honorific titles and latin terms and religious/state institution distinctions. The AI draft is calibrated to surface uncertainty rather than guess, so the reviewer always knows where to spend their attention.

Every translation we deliver includes a signed certification statement, a faithful transcription of every field on the source, descriptions of all seals and stamps, and explicit [illegible] markers anywhere the source is unreadable rather than a guess. The reviewer signs the certification under their own name.
