The service provides certified translation for both Russian internal and international passports.
They are commonly required for UK visa and immigration applications, court proceedings, banking compliance (like opening an account), employment verification, and university admissions.
A full translation typically includes the date and place of birth, passport number, issuing authority, dates of issue and expiry, registration address, official stamps, and even the machine-readable zone if required.
The article mentions certified translation (most common), notarised translation, and apostilled translation for international use.
The process involves the client sending a scanned copy of the passport, after which the company confirms the specific requirements (certified, notarised, etc.), provides a fixed quote, and completes the translation.
Consistent transliteration is crucial because names must match official records, such as those held by the Home Office. Errors or inconsistencies can cause significant delays in visa approvals, employment contracts, or bank onboarding.
According to the article, these translations are used for submissions to UK Visas and Immigration, in courts like the Central Family Court, during company formation at Companies House, and for tax registration with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
The company uses native Russian linguists with legal experience for manual translation, ensuring strict terminology control, legal accuracy, and confidential handling of personal data, unlike automated systems.
Each translation is accompanied by a formal translator’s certification statement that includes the translator's contact details, date, signature, and a confirmation of the translation's accuracy, ensuring compliance with UK standards.
