Translation of documents into English or from English requires a particularly attentive approach. This is due to the unique features of the language - the complex structure of sentences, the abundance of idioms, and terminology, which can challenge even experienced translators. Equally important is understanding context and cultural differences, which are essential when working with legal, medical, and technical texts. At Etalon Agency, we recognize all these nuances, allowing us to successfully translate even the most complex, lengthy, and non-standard texts into English. Moreover, our team goes beyond English, offering translations into German and any other language chosen by the client.

FAQ: documents for English-speaking countries (UK, USA, Canada, Ireland)
Do I need an apostille for the UK, USA, Canada or Ireland?
The UK, Ireland and the USA are parties to the Hague Convention, so Ukrainian documents for them usually need an apostille rather than consular legalisation. Canada joined the Convention on 11 January 2024, so an apostille is now enough for it too. The apostille is placed on the original by the relevant Ukrainian ministry — MON for diplomas, the Ministry of Justice for civil-status (DRATs) certificates, the MVS for criminal-record certificates; we arrange this for you remotely.
Will an English-speaking country accept a translation done in Ukraine?
It depends on the receiving body. Ukraine has no institution of sworn translators, so we prepare either a notarised translation (the notary certifies the translator's signature) or a translation certified with the agency's stamp. Many bodies in the UK, USA, Canada and Ireland accept a certified translation with the agency stamp, but some universities or courts may require the translation to be done in the destination country — always confirm the requirements with the recipient in advance.
How do I prepare a diploma, criminal-record certificate and civil-status documents for going abroad?
The usual order is: first the apostille on the original at the relevant ministry (MON for a diploma, MVS for the criminal-record certificate, the Ministry of Justice for birth/marriage/death certificates), then the English translation with notarial or stamp certification. For some documents the country may also require an apostille on the translation — this is clarified separately. We work remotely across all of Ukraine: you send a scan, we obtain the apostille, translate, and return the finished package by Nova Poshta; we make no promises about the foreign body's decision, but we help you assemble the documents correctly the first time.
