Ukrainian Immigration and Birth Certificate Translation

The invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and the war that followed it have caused many people to lose their beloved homes. Millions of refugees are looking for a safe place far from war, even though it means leaving their country behind and immigrating to other countries. Ukrainians are looking to get their their documents translated for immigration purposes, and this article answers all of your questions about Ukrainian birth certificate translations.

One of the documents that the country that they are trying to settle in will want is the asylum document, but since they are immigrating outside Ukraine, an asylum document translation is needed. If the Ukrainian refugees and immigrants are immigrating to a country where the spoken language is mainly English, for example, the US, a certified translation from Ukrainian to English is needed—we will explore this more in-depth in this blog.

A certified translation from any language into another language is a translation of a document that includes a Certificate of Accuracy signed by the translator.

The Certificate of Accuracy bears our signatures, and it is placed on our letterhead. Vital records and academic records are translated in detail.
