Fast and reliable Russian apostille translation and legalisation services

Our one-stop solution is designed for individuals and businesses who need Russian documents accepted across borders without delays. We translate your documents, certify the translation, arrange notarisation where required, and obtain the apostille from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) or the appropriate authority. This means you do not need to coordinate multiple providers or queue at several offices.

Use cases include UK visa applications with the Home Office, academic enrolment, employment background checks, corporate filings, property transactions, and international powers of attorney. If your paperwork is moving between Russia and the UK—or between the UK and any Hague member country—we ensure your documents meet specific legalisation requirements so they are accepted the first time.

Our certified translations are produced by experienced native specialists in Russian and English. Each translation includes a signed translator’s statement on agency letterhead and can be notarised by a UK notary public or solicitor if requested by the receiving institution. We then secure the apostille, confirming the authenticity of the notarial signature or competent official’s seal.

Legalisation in the UK typically follows three steps. First, translation: your Russian documents are translated and certified. Second, notarisation: a UK notary public or solicitor certifies the translation or original document as required. Third, apostille: the FCDO issues the apostille to confirm the notary or official’s signature. We coordinate all stages for you.

Timeframes are practical and predictable: translation in 24–48 hours for most documents, same-day notarisation scheduling, and apostille issuance generally in 1–3 weeks, depending on the authority’s current processing times. If you are working to a fixed deadline, tell us—our coordinators will advise accelerated options where available.

Apostilles are recognised by 120+ countries party to the Hague Apostille Convention. For destinations outside the Convention, we can arrange additional consular legalisation. Our team also supports documents bound for the United States via Secretary of State offices or for European authorities, ensuring worldwide acceptance for immigration, academic, and business purposes.

Accuracy matters. We mirror seals, stamps, and formatting in the translation, providing a faithful, clearly annotated English version for official review. Kings of Translation is known for attentive service and a 98% customer return rate—your coordinator will monitor every stage, keep you updated, and ensure your documents are prepared exactly to specification.

Pricing is straightforward and transparent. Certified Russian translation starts at £29.90 per page, and standard translation is £0.05 per word. Notarisation and apostille certification are quoted separately based on the document type, destination country, and urgency. You will receive a clear, itemised quote before we begin—no hidden extras.

Your data is protected by secure encrypted workflows, restricted translator access, and GDPR-compliant handling practices. We can provide NDAs for sensitive cases. Every translator is carefully vetted for subject matter expertise—legal, academic, corporate, or personal documents—and trained in official formatting conventions for UK authorities.

Our credentials and track record support global acceptance. Kings of Translation is an ATA member and holds BBB A+ accreditation, and our certified translations are routinely accepted by British authorities and international bodies, including USCIS and European institutions. This makes us a reliable partner when your documents must cross borders without friction.

Order online in minutes. Upload your files, confirm the quote, and we will take care of translation, notarisation, and apostille—keeping you informed at every milestone. If you have documents already apostilled that simply need translation, we can translate the apostille page and all attached documents as part of a single certified set.
