Russian Affidavit Translation
Russian affidavit translation for USCIS, a US court, a school or an estate, and of US affidavits into Russian for a ЗАГС, a Russian court or a consulate. Russian law has no affidavit as such; the papers people bring us are notarized заявления, a согласие на выезд ребёнка, a witness statement or a letter from a relative, and we translate each with its notarial wording intact.

Written for Russian affidavit records
What stands in for an affidavit in Russia
A US affidavit is sworn; a Russian заявление is signed before a notary who confirms the signature, not the facts, and the translation has to show that difference rather than hide it.
The notary's удостоверительная надпись
A Russian notarized statement ends with the notary's certification: the city, the date in words, the notary's name and district, the line свидетельствую подлинность подписи, the реестровый номер and the fee, взыскано по тарифу. The notary witnesses the signature and checks identity and capacity, дееспособность, but does not vouch for the content, and Russian law has no perjury oath for private statements. We translate the надпись word for word and keep the register number, and our certification does not call the document sworn, because it is not.
Согласие на выезд ребёнка and the family statements
The commonest one is the согласие на выезд ребёнка, a notarized consent from the parent staying behind for a child travelling to the US with the other, naming the countries, the dates and the adult the child travels with. Airlines and US border officers ask to see it in English. Close behind are the заявление об отсутствии брака for a marriage abroad, the согласие супруга on a property sale, and the заявление об отказе от наследства for an estate, each carrying the same notarial block.
Letters that become USCIS affidavits
USCIS secondary evidence is often a plain Russian letter: a grandmother describing a birth that was never registered, or friends in Saint Petersburg describing a marriage for an I-130. These are written in Russian by hand or in Word, sometimes notarized, sometimes not. The translation reproduces the letter as written, including the ФИО and address block at the top, the date and the signature line, and we add the translator's certification; the writer's own statement under penalty of perjury, if USCIS wants one, is a separate page they sign.
Who is asking for your Russian affidavit translation?
The translation is the same. What changes is whether the recipient wants anything added to it.
USCIS
Affidavits standing in for a missing birth or marriage record are accepted with a complete English translation and a signed certification from the translator. No notarization is needed.
Courts
A court admits a translated affidavit with the translator's signed certification, and many ask for it notarized. Add notarization at checkout if the clerk asks for it.
Inheritance and estate matters abroad
Heirs settling an estate in another country send sworn statements with an apostille on the original and a translation into that country's language.
Before you upload
Three things that save a day of back and forth on a Russian affidavit.
Send the signed and notarized version
An affidavit is the sworn statement plus the notary block, stamp and seal. Upload the executed copy, with every exhibit it refers to, not the draft.
Give us the names as the passport spells them
The affiant, the notary and anyone named in the statement keep their names as written, with your English spelling noted, so the recipient can match the affidavit to the rest of the file.
Tell us where it is going
A court, USCIS and a foreign registry each want the certification handled differently. Say which in the order notes and we match the format.

Russian Affidavit FAQ
Most questions about pricing and turnaround can be answered faster by requesting a quote.
- Do you translate a US affidavit into Russian for marriage at a ЗАГС?
- Yes. A ЗАГС asks a foreign bride or groom for proof that nothing bars the marriage, and since no US office issues such a certificate, a US citizen usually brings a notarized affidavit of single status, apostilled by the state, and a Russian translation. The ЗАГС will want the translation certified by a Russian notary, who checks the translator's credentials, so our translation is the text they certify; ask the office first. Kazakhstan and Belarus follow the same practice.
- Can you translate a witness statement for a US court?
- Yes. A written statement from a witness in Russia, объяснение or показания, goes to a US court as a translated exhibit with the translator's certificate of accuracy, and the court may ask for a declaration under 28 U.S.C. 1746 signed by the witness in English or in Russian with a translation attached. We translate the statement and the declaration both ways and keep the paragraph numbering, so counsel can cite paragraph 7 in either language.
- Does a translation of a Russian notarized statement need an apostille?
- The apostille goes on the Russian original, not on our translation. Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan are all in the Hague Convention, and the regional office of the Министерство юстиции apostilles a notarial document; we then translate the apostille too, on its own page. Most US recipients other than courts do not ask for one on a consent or family statement, so check the checklist before paying for it.
- How much does a certified translation cost?
- Certified translation is $25 per page, with a page counted as up to 250 words. Notarization, a mailed physical copy and an apostille are optional and priced separately.
- How long does a certified translation take?
- Standard turnaround starts at 24 hours and depends on the length and language of your documents. If you have a deadline, include it in your quote request.
