What notarized translation is and when you need it
A notarized translation is a document translated by a qualified translator whose signature is then certified by a notary. The notary does not assess the quality of the text; they confirm the translator's identity and qualifications, which is why the work must be done by a specialist with the relevant diploma - exactly how Etalon's in-house translators operate.
This type of translation is required for submissions to embassies and visa centres, for courts and notarial acts, for residence permit applications, for admission to Ukrainian and foreign universities, and for employment or marriage registration. The most commonly certified documents are passports, certificates (birth, marriage, divorce), diplomas and transcripts, police clearance certificates, powers of attorney and corporate documents.
Depending on the receiving institution, the notary certifies the translation on its own or binds it to the original or a notarised copy. We clarify the required format in advance so the document is accepted the first time.
How much notarized translation costs in Kharkiv
The final price has two parts: the translation (from ~150 UAH per document, depending on language and volume) and the notarial certification of the translator's signature (from ~250 UAH per document). Standard personal documents - a passport, certificate or short statement - usually fall into the lower price range, while complex legal and technical texts are priced by volume.
Prices are indicative and shown as 'from', because the cost depends on the language, page count, urgency and whether you also need copies or an apostille. To make sure you do not overpay, we provide a free quote: send a scan or photo of the document and you will get an exact price and turnaround.
If the document is intended for use abroad, an apostille is often required as well. In Ukraine the apostille is issued by the relevant ministries (Justice, Foreign Affairs, Education and Science), all located in Kyiv, so for Kharkiv clients we submit the documents to the Kyiv ministries on your behalf - there is no need to travel to the capital.

FAQ
What is a notarized translation?
It is a document translated by a qualified translator whose signature is certified by a notary. The notary confirms the translator's identity and qualifications rather than the quality of the text, so the work must be done by a specialist with a diploma - exactly the translators who work at Etalon.
How much does notarized translation cost in Kharkiv?
Notarial certification starts from ~250 UAH per document, plus the translation itself from ~150 UAH. The total depends on the language, volume and urgency; you will get an exact figure from a free quote based on a scan of the document.
Can the translation be done without the original?
We can produce the translation itself from a good scan or photo. However, for notarial certification, especially when the translation is bound to the document, the notary usually needs the original or a notarised copy - we clarify the exact requirements for your institution in advance.
How does notarized translation differ from sworn translation?
Ukraine uses notarial certification: a translator produces the text and a notary certifies their signature. A sworn (court) translator is a separate institution in several EU countries, where the translator personally holds the authority to certify. If an institution abroad specifically requires a sworn translation, we will advise on the right solution.
How fast will it be ready?
Because we have in-house translators and partner notaries right by our Sumska 47 office, standard documents are often completed the same day. The exact turnaround depends on volume and language and is confirmed when we quote.
Do you handle apostille for documents from Kharkiv?
Yes. The apostille is issued by the relevant ministries (Justice, Foreign Affairs, Education), all located in Kyiv. We submit your documents to the Kyiv ministries on your behalf, so there is no need to travel to the capital. The cost is from ~950 UAH plus the state fee.
