Order NowInside a Ukrainian death certificate: the details that decide it
Ukrainian certificates issued since 1991 are in Ukrainian, forms from the nineties are often bilingual, and Soviet forms are in Russian. The translation follows the text as printed and notes which it is.
Ukrainian spelling first
The name is transliterated from the Ukrainian text unless your other documents use a Russian-based spelling, in which case we keep them consistent.
DRATsS seals and record numbers
The registry office, the act record number and the seal are translated or described. Forms that still say RATsS keep that name in the translation.
Apostille from the Ministry of Justice
If the certificate carries an apostille, it is translated in the same order at no extra page charge when it fits on the same page.
Dates in the US format
Day-first dates are converted to month-first, with the original in brackets where it matters.
DRATsS certificate or register extract, both are full records
The registry issues a certificate at the time of death and, later, an extract from the State Register when a relative needs proof again. Both are complete documents and both are translated in full.
DRATsS certificate
Standard paper form- A single sheet with the Ukrainian trident, a series and number and printed labels in Ukrainian; forms from the nineties may be bilingual, Soviet ones in Russian
- Full name with patronymic, date and place of birth and death, citizenship, the act record number and date, the issuing office and the issue date
- The whole page, every field and the form text, the seal and the signature block, plus any stamp on the back
- Asked for by USCIS in widow and family cases, by probate courts, banks, insurers and pension offices
Send the front and the back in one flat photo or scan each, plus the apostille page if you obtained one.
Extract from the State Register
Issued to relatives later- A printed A4 sheet titled extract from the State Register of civil status acts, on plain paper with a registry stamp and signature, sometimes more than one page
- The full act record: the deceased's data, the date and place of death, the applicant who registered it and every later change to the record
- Every page in full, including the extract number, the date, the official's name and the stamp
- Issued when the certificate was lost or when a bank, court or consulate asks for a full record; it can be requested at the registry or online
Send every page of the extract; if you also hold the original certificate, send both and each is quoted as its own page.
Trident, stamps and the back page, all in the English file
Form text, series and number
The printed wording of the form, the trident and the series and number are copied or described, so the English page identifies the same certificate.
Place of death and place of registration
The two can be different towns, and older records name a village council. Each is transliterated as printed, with the region kept.
Handwriting, bilingual labels, Russian-language forms
Handwritten entries are transcribed as written; bilingual labels are translated once from the Ukrainian text; a Soviet form in Russian is translated from Russian, and the file says so.
Repeat marks and later notes
A note that the certificate is a duplicate, a stamp added by another office or a note in the margin is translated in place with its date.
One translation, accepted where you need to file
The same certified file works for immigration, courts, universities and employers. Say who it is for when you order and the certificate is worded for that office.
USCIS
Green card, citizenship and asylum filings. Certification statement on every page set.

Price My DocumentUkrainian death certificate, the questions we hear most
Will USCIS accept this translation?
It follows what USCIS asks for: the whole document in English plus a signed statement that the translator is competent and the translation is complete and accurate. Every order includes that statement, signed and dated by the translator.
My certificate is bilingual. Which text do you translate?
The Ukrainian text is the source, and we check the Russian side for anything filled in only there. The English file notes that the original is bilingual.
Do I need an apostille for USCIS?
USCIS asks for a certified translation, not an apostille. If you obtained one for another purpose, we translate it together with the certificate.
The certificate was reissued recently as a duplicate. Is that a problem?
No. The duplicate note and the new issue date are translated so the reviewer sees why the paper is newer than the death it records.
How much does it cost and how fast is it?
From $23.70 per document, certification included. A one-page document is usually ready the next business day; the date is confirmed before you pay.
Twenty document types, two languages
Each document and each language has its own page with its own specifics and price. Something else? Upload it and we quote it by hand.
