Poltava’s documents travel far: every year graduates from dozens of countries take home diplomas of the local medical university, while Poltava families prepare papers for work, study or relocation abroad. Etalon works with the city fully remotely – notarized translation, apostille and document retrieval from scans, with Nova Poshta delivery to any branch or parcel locker in Poltava.
Main services for Poltava
The most frequent orders from Poltava clients:
- Personal documents – passports, birth and marriage certificates, official statements; notarised for work, study or relocation abroad.
- Educational documents – diplomas and supplements from PDMU and the city’s other universities: translation, Education-Ministry apostille, preparation for recognition abroad.
- Legal translation – contracts, powers of attorney, corporate and court documents, including recognition rulings for a PDMU diploma abroad; notarised when needed.
- Medical translation – discharge summaries and case reports for treatment abroad, plus academic medical certificates for PDMU's international graduates.
- Document retrieval – duplicate certificates and archive statements through the oblast civil-registry department at 1a Kapitana Volodymyra Kyselova St, when the original is lost or left in another city.
PDMU: diplomas bound for 45 countries
Poltava State Medical University – the Ukrainian Medical Stomatological Academy until 2020 – is one of the country’s oldest medical schools: the institute moved to Poltava from Kharkiv in 1967. Today it teaches over 5,000 students, 1,350 of them international, from 45 countries – and every year part of its graduates return home with a Ukrainian diploma that still has to be legalised.
We prepare a diploma translation with the supplement into English or the destination language and, when needed, the Education-Ministry apostille – the Kyiv filing is on us. For Ukrainian applicants we translate school certificates for foreign universities, and for international students – documents for study.
Apostille: most stamps without leaving Poltava
Since 1 February 2026 a Justice-category apostille is filed anywhere: at a DRACS office, at a notary, in a state archive or via Diia – 670 UAH, up to 3 business days. In Poltava documents are also accepted by the oblast civil-registry department at 1a Kapitana Volodymyra Kyselova St, which affixes the stamp itself. Which road a certificate takes – and which a diploma or police check does – is laid out on the apostille in Poltava page.
Criminal-record certificate from a smartphone
The extract is ordered online – via Diia or the MVS portal: in Diia it comes bundled with the Interior-Ministry apostille and is delivered by Ukrposhta. There is nowhere you need to go – not even the renovated administrative-service centre at 45a Sobornosti St with its 700+ services. We add a certified translation remotely – details under criminal-record certificate.
What translation costs in Poltava
In Poltava, the final price depends on three things:
- The document type and length. A standard certificate is priced per document; a PDMU graduate's diploma and supplement are priced per page, like a multi-page package.
- Certification. The oblast civil-registry department at 1a Kapitana Volodymyra Kyselova St affixes the apostille itself; a notary or an apostille are separate line items with different prices.
- The target language. English is the most requested, since PDMU's medical students come from 45 countries; other languages go to a dedicated specialist.
Personal documents are usually ready in 1-2 business days, large legal or medical texts in 3-5. Urgent orders are agreed separately; a quote from scans is free.
Photograph your documents and send them via Telegram, Viber or WhatsApp – Etalon quotes the exact price, prepares the certified translation and ships the finished package by Nova Poshta to a branch or parcel locker in Poltava.
