Every detail matters, especially when it comes to submitting completed papers abroad. Understanding this, we offer comprehensive services in Lviv, eliminating any complications with the acceptance of documents in any foreign jurisdiction. At the same time, we guarantee reasonable pricing for the entire range of services, making the services of the Etalon Translation Bureau accessible to every client.

Additional Services Our Team Can Provide
At Etalon Bureau, we do not limit ourselves to just translations; we offer a full range of additional services aimed at legalizing and officially certifying submitted documents. We work in a highly coordinated and professional manner, ensuring full compliance with agreements and considering any requests made by the client.
Criminal Record Certificate
This certificate confirms the absence of legal issues and is required for obtaining visas, citizenship, employment, or education abroad. It is needed in many countries to comply with local legal and administrative regulations. To use the certificate abroad, a translation, notarization, and apostille may be required. We are ready to take care of all these procedures, guaranteeing their prompt execution and acceptance in the required jurisdiction without further issues.
Notarized Translation
This is an officially certified translation of a document, confirming its conformity with the original. This service is relevant for papers submitted to government bodies, consulates, courts, or educational institutions, primarily dealing with certificates, diplomas, contracts, and references. For notarized translation, the original document or a certified copy is required. We guarantee the accuracy of the translation and its prompt notarization, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and avoiding any issues with further acceptance.
Apostille
An international stamp confirming the authenticity of documents for use abroad. It is required in countries that have signed the Hague Convention, making documents legally valid without additional certifications. It is usually placed on personal documents. The procedure includes verifying the authenticity of the document with the relevant authority and affixing the special stamp. We fully handle this process — checking the documents, submitting them to the appropriate authority, and tracking their readiness, ensuring the prompt completion of all necessary procedures.
Certified Translation
A certified translation performed by an accredited translator. It confirms the translation’s conformity with the original and is legally valid. Certified translations are necessary when submitting documents to state and judicial authorities, educational institutions, or consulates. We cooperate with certified translators, carefully checking the translations for compliance with the destination country's standards. Each certified translation is validated with a signature and seal, ensuring no errors or rejections by the receiving authorities.
Consular Legalization
The process of certifying a document for countries that do not recognize the apostille. The procedure includes verifying the document with state authorities, notarizing it, and legalizing it at the consulate of the destination country, granting the document the necessary legal weight abroad. Our translation agency in Kharkiv takes care of all steps of legalization, from document verification to final certification. This approach minimizes the client's time costs while ensuring full compliance with foreign legal requirements, avoiding rejections or returns of documents.
Translation Costs and Deadlines – What You Need to Know
Translation prices in Lviv depend on several factors:
- Thematic and text complexity. Translating specialized documents requires deeper analysis and work with terminology, which increases the cost.
- Volume of material. The total cost is calculated based on the number of words or pages, and discounts are offered for large projects.
- Rarity of the language pair. The more difficult it is to find specialists for translation, the higher the cost will be.
- Additional services. Notarization, apostille, or legalization are charged separately, implying additional work with the documents.
Regarding preparation time, it all depends on the text's specifics, the language pair, and the thematic complexity. Basic translations are completed within 1-2 business days. Specialized texts may require more effort, but it's not an issue for us. We also offer express translation services — it will be more expensive, but all necessary documents will be ready on the same day of the request.
