Translation Agency on Podil, Kyiv: diplomas, contracts, apostilles online
On Podil it is easiest to order a translation straight from your phone, which is exactly what the NaUKMA students, freelancers and IT people who fill this district do. You photograph your diploma, contract or invoice, send it to us by messenger, and pick up the finished, notarised translation by courier near Kontraktova or at a Nova Poshta branch. Document translation starts from UAH 150, notarisation from UAH 250 and an apostille from UAH 950; the standard turnaround is 1-2 business days, with small documents often the same day. We quote the exact price for free as soon as we see your scan.

Podil is the district of the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, coworking spaces and the studios on Andriivskyi Descent, so it produces the most diplomas for admissions and contracts with invoices for foreign clients - exactly the documents we handle online every day.
Ordering online for Podil: from a scan in your messenger to a certified translation
Podil is a district where almost everything already happens on a phone, so we made the translation work the same way. No printouts, no trip to an office: you send clear photos or a PDF via Telegram, Viber or WhatsApp, we quote the price and timing within minutes, translate into the language you need and, where required, have it notarised.
The finished documents close that digital loop in physical form: scans go in online, certified originals come out by courier or Nova Poshta. If a notarised hard copy is not mandatory, we also send an electronic version with the bureau's stamp so you can attach it straight to a university application or an email to a foreign client.
What people translate on Podil: NaUKMA diplomas, freelancer contracts and startup paperwork
Right next to the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy on Kontraktova Square, the most common request is the translation of a diploma, its graded supplement and an academic transcript, for a master's admission or a job abroad, usually with a Ministry of Education apostille. That is the standard package for a Podil student or graduate.
The second big group works for clients abroad: designers from the studios along Andriivskyi Descent, developers, marketers and copywriters. They translate service agreements, invoices, acceptance acts and income statements for foreign clients, payment systems and banks. Startups and sole traders from Podil's coworking spaces add charters, state-register extracts, contracts and NDAs. For personal matters we translate civil-registry certificates, police-clearance certificates and powers of attorney.

FAQ
How do I order a translation on Podil online?
Entirely from your phone: send clear photos or a PDF of the document via Telegram, Viber, WhatsApp or email. We assess the work for free, translate, notarise if needed, and return the finished result by courier, Nova Poshta or as a digital file with the bureau's stamp. Coming to the office is optional.
Does Etalon have an office on Podil?
We have no separate office on Podil; our only Kyiv office is at 3-B Sofiivska St in the centre (Shevchenkivskyi district), about 10-15 minutes from Kontraktova Square. We serve the whole Podilskyi district online and with a free courier, so you usually do not need to come in.
How much does it cost to translate a NaUKMA or other diploma for study abroad?
A diploma with its supplement is from about UAH 350 per set, notarisation from UAH 250, and a Ministry of Education apostille from UAH 950 plus the state fee. We quote the exact amount for your specific country and university for free as soon as you send the scans.
Can you translate a contract, invoice or NDA for a foreign client?
Yes, this is one of the most common orders from Podil's freelancers, IT specialists and startups. We translate service agreements, invoices, acceptance acts, income statements and NDAs, certify them with a notary or the bureau's stamp if needed, and send them as a digital file or as originals by courier.
Do I need to print the documents before ordering?
No. A clear photo or scan from your phone is enough to quote and translate. Printing is only needed when an institution requires the translation to be bound to a paper original or a notarised copy; we will flag that in advance and handle it ourselves.
How quickly will I get my finished translation on Podil?
The standard turnaround is 1-2 business days, and small documents are often ready the same day. If an admission deadline or a client deadline is looming, we do rush work the day you contact us; we can send the stamped digital version even before the courier delivers the originals.
