Translation Bureau for Obolon: documents for the whole family's move

Obolon moves as families - so the documents are best done as one set

Obolon is rows of newer apartment blocks along the Dnipro, full of schools, kindergartens and thousands of families planning study, work or reunification abroad each year. So orders from this district rarely involve a single sheet of paper: more often it's a whole family bundle - the children's birth certificates, a marriage certificate, diplomas and school certificates, police-clearance certificates for both parents, plus medical and school records.

Etalon handles such a bundle as one order: a single team produces every translation in the same format, with the family's surnames transliterated consistently - so that at the consulate a child's name in the translated certificate matches the spelling in their international passport. When the documents form one coherent set, the risk of a refusal over a tiny mismatch disappears, and you don't have to chase several providers.

How delivery to the left bank works along the red metro line

Obolon stretches along the Dnipro and is strung along the red metro line - Minska, Obolon, Heroiv Dnipra - so our courier covers that corridor in a single run. Where originals are needed we collect them right at your entrance on Obolonska Embankment, on Heroiv Dnipra Avenue or in the blocks by Natalka Park, and deliver the finished certified documents to the same address free of charge. If a parcel locker suits you better, we ship via Nova Poshta to the branch nearest your home.

For most orders you don't need to come in at all: you send clear scans via Viber, Telegram or email, we quote the price and timing, translate the documents and notarise them. The original is only required where a notary or the apostille procedure specifically demands it - and even then the courier collects it, with no trip to Sofiivska for you.

Apostille and legalisation for the move: all through Kyiv ministries

After translation, family documents usually need an apostille or consular legalisation, depending on the destination country. The apostille for civil-registry certificates and police-clearance certificates goes through the Ministry of Justice, for educational documents (school certificates, diplomas) through the Ministry of Education, and for several others through the MFA. All three bodies are in Kyiv, so for Obolon residents this is settled without sending anything to other cities.

We'll map out the exact route for your country: for Poland, Czechia or Germany an apostille with a sworn or notarised translation is often enough, while Canada or the UAE may require full consular legalisation. We assemble the whole chain - translation, certification, apostille - and return the finished package to Obolon by courier.
