Russian language documents are frequently required for submissions to courts of law, as well as US agencies such as the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Whenever a Russian language document will be used in a court filing in the United States, it must be translated and certified in order to be accepted. In today’s article, we will discuss Russian language documents and the correct way to translate them.
Court filings frequently require the submission of Russian language documents, whenever one or more of the parties is from a Russian-speaking country. Russian is the official language in four countries, including Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Russia. Moreover, it is the seventh-most spoken language in the world by number of native speakers. So, whenever a party to a legal proceeding is from one of the above countries, there will likely be documents to translate from Russian to English for a United States court.
The Cyrillic alphabet is used in Russian documents, which differs from the Latin alphabet. Certified translations from Russian to English require an expert who is fluent in both English and Russian in order to provide an accurate translation. Common documents used in court filings may include financial statements, divorce decrees, property deeds, affidavits, text message conversations, e-mails and more. All of these documents may contain technical language. Therefore, it is important to hire a translation company that specializes in Russian translation services, as well as legal translation services to ensure the best possible result.
A certified translation from Russian to English must include all text that is present in the original. There must be no omissions or additions, and all signatures, stamps and seals must be accounted for. The translation must contain certification in order to be submitted to a court in the United States.
