Translation of Financial Documents for Visa & Residence Permit
When applying for a Schengen, national visa or residence permit, consulates often require translated financial documents — a bank statement, an income certificate, an account balance certificate, or proof of tax residency. This is usually a notarized translation: a qualified translator produces the text and a Ukrainian notary certifies the signature. We handle it remotely across Ukraine: you send scans, we translate, certify, and return the finished package via Nova Poshta.

Which financial documents we translate for a visa
Most often consulates ask for a translation of a bank statement for the last 3-6 months, an account balance certificate, an income certificate from your employer, a transaction history, and proof of tax residency. For sole proprietors — an income statement from the tax office or a simplified tax return. We transfer all amounts, transaction dates, account numbers and bank details precisely: in financial documents, an error in a figure or currency is grounds for refusal. If you are unsure which set your consulate requires, send us the list and we will advise.
Why a notarized translation is usually needed
Most consulates and visa centres accept financial documents specifically as a notarized translation: a qualified translator produces the text and a Ukrainian notary certifies the authenticity of the signature. The notary does not check amounts or the content of the statement — they confirm that a registered specialist signed the document. For Schengen an agency-stamp translation is sometimes enough, but requirements differ from country to country and even from consulate to consulate, so follow the current document checklist of your embassy. We'll advise the level of certification for your country so you don't overpay.
Specifics of translating a bank statement
A bank statement is not running text but tables of dates, amounts, transaction codes and counterparty names. Here it is essential to keep the structure, render the bank name and payment purposes correctly, never round amounts, and not confuse date formats or decimal separators (Ukrainian comma vs English point). Multi-page statements are counted by standard pages of 1,800 characters. Even if the bank issued a statement with some English fields, a translation is usually still needed for full compliance, because details and payment purposes often remain in Ukrainian.

FAQ
Do I need to translate my bank statement for Schengen?
Yes, most consulates require a translation of the statement and income certificate — usually notarized. For the exact set and level of certification, check your embassy's current document checklist; send us the list and we'll advise what to translate.

Roughly from UAH 150 per page of translation (1,800 characters), plus a separate notarial certification of the signature from UAH 150 per document. We confirm the exact quote after reviewing your scans, since statement volumes and notary fees vary.
Statement: notarized translation or is an agency stamp enough?
Most often consulates accept a notarized translation. For Schengen an agency-stamp translation is sometimes enough, but requirements differ by country and even consulate, so follow your embassy's document checklist. We'll advise the level for your country.
Do I need the original statement, or is a scan enough?
For translation a clear scan or the bank's PDF is usually enough. The original may be needed if the consulate requires notarial certification of a true copy — we'll let you know in advance.
How fast do you translate financial documents?
A standard package (statement + a few certificates) is usually 1-2 business days; the volume of multi-page statements affects the turnaround. A same-day express option is available subject to notary availability (+50%).
