A certified translation is a translation accompanied by a signed statement by the translator or translation agency attesting that the translation is complete and accurate. An apostille is a form of international certification, issued by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), which authenticates the origin of a public document for use in countries that are parties to the Hague Apostille Convention, such as Russia.
