Ordering a notarized translation from another city

How to order a notarized translation remotely from any Russian city: sending a scan, payment, delivery via CDEK, courier or Ozon and Yandex Market pickup points, turnaround and terms.

You do not have to be in Moscow to order a notarized translation from us. The notary certifies the translator's signature, not your document, so for most documents a good scan or photo is enough and the finished translation is sent to you.

The one exception is a police clearance certificate: for it we need the original with the apostille. You can send it to our office by courier.

How it works

1. Leave a request on our website — our manager will contact you with the price and turnaround. Not sure what you need? Just describe the task.
2. We quote the exact price and turnaround within 15 minutes and ask any questions we have.
3. You pay once price, turnaround and delivery are agreed — then we start translating.
4. We set up a work group for you in Telegram: documents, details and the "ready" notice all in one place. You can ask other questions there too.
5. We translate and notarize, then send you a scan of the finished translation.
6. We hand over or ship the original the way you chose and send you the tracking number.

Turnaround

• ordered before 15:00 Moscow time — ready by 12:00 the next business day;
• ordered after 15:00 — ready one business day later.

Delivery time is not included in the turnaround.

Getting your translation

• Pickup in Moscow — ul. Gvozdeva 7/4, bldg 1;
• Courier from our office — on request;
• CDEK — to your door or a CDEK point anywhere in Russia;
• Ozon pickup point — collect at the nearest point with the code from the message;
• Yandex Market pickup point — collect at the nearest point.

Courier and carrier delivery are paid separately at the carrier's rate — from 200 roubles; the exact cost is quoted with your order.

While the original is on its way

You receive a scan as soon as the translation is notarized. You can use it to check the text and, where an authority accepts a preliminary copy, to show that the translation exists. For filing, the migration office and the registry office need the original notarized translation.

Tips for a good scan

• photograph the whole page, including the edges, in daylight, without flash;
• include every page with any marks, and the apostille;
• for a passport, send the photo page so that the machine-readable zone at the bottom is sharp — we check the numbers against it.
