Who needs Ukrainian translation here
Portland's Ukrainian community grew substantially after 2022. Much of our Ukrainian work supports immigration filings, work authorization, school and university enrollment, and getting professional credentials recognized here.
Where our translation is accepted
U.S. agencies accept our certified English translation with its certificate. If a document is going back to Ukraine, ask the receiving office how the translation must be prepared, since many require it done locally.
Both directions
We translate Ukrainian into English and English into Ukrainian, including U.S. birth certificates and court orders needed by relatives in Ukraine.
Good to know
- Every translation is prepared by our own ATA-certified translators in our own offices, not sent to an outside agency.
- Documents issued before 1991, and some issued in Russian during that period, come up often. We translate them as issued and note the language on the certificate.
- If your documents were reissued after a move or a change of region, send every version you have. Immigration officers compare dates and spellings across them.
Moving to the United Arab Emirates: which route, and what it needs
Requirements differ by route and change without notice, so treat this as a starting point and confirm with the consulate or your immigration attorney.
- Work and employment. UAE employment visas commonly require attested degrees and a background check. The UAE does not accept apostilles, so documents go through authentication and embassy attestation instead.
- Business, investor, and self-employment. Company formation, investor permits, and self-employment routes typically need authenticated corporate documents, powers of attorney so someone can act for you locally, and a background check.
- Remote work and digital nomad routes. Where a remote-work route exists, applications usually require proof of foreign income, health insurance, and an authenticated background check. Confirm whether the route is currently open before you build a document pack around it.
- Retirement and passive income. Retirement routes generally require an authenticated background check, proof of pension or investment income, health insurance, and often apostilled birth and marriage certificates.
- Family, marriage, and children. Marriage abroad, family reunification, and registering a child usually need apostilled birth and marriage certificates, and sometimes a single-status or no-impediment document.
- Study. Universities and student permits typically ask for apostilled diplomas and transcripts, and a background check for longer programs.
Document timeline
These are our turnaround times for the steps we handle. Government processing and consulate appointments are set by those offices.
- Fingerprinting and FBI background check — Submitted within 30 minutes of
your appointment
We capture your prints and submit the request through our channeler partners. The FBI controls how quickly results come back. - Notarization, if your documents need it — Same day
Powers of attorney, affidavits, and copies that need a notary before authentication are handled at your appointment, in our office or at your location. - Apostille or authentication courier service — 10 to 15 business
days
We prepare and courier the request to the right office: the U.S. Department of State for FBI results, or a state Secretary of State for state-issued documents. - Certified translation — 2 to 3 business days
Ordered after the apostille when the receiving country wants the apostille page translated too. Some countries require their own sworn translator, and we tell you when that applies. - Your consulate appointment — Set by the consulate
Book early. Appointment backlogs, not document preparation, are usually what delays a move.
Finding the United Arab Emirates consulate that covers Oregon
Each United Arab Emirates consulate in the United States covers specific states, and you generally have to file with the one that covers Oregon. Check the consulate's own website for its jurisdiction, appointment system, and current document checklist, because those differ by post and change without notice.
The U.S. State Department publishes the official directory of foreign consular offices in the United States, which is the reliable place to find current addresses and contact details rather than a third-party list.

We don't book consulate appointments or file applications. We prepare, notarize, translate, and courier the documents you take to that appointment.

Questions about Ukrainian translation
Do you translate documents for USCIS filings?
Yes. We prepare a complete English translation with a signed certificate of accuracy and competency, which is what USCIS requires for foreign-language documents.
How fast can you translate Ukrainian documents?
2 to 3 business days for most documents. Tell us your deadline when you upload and we'll confirm the timeline.
Can you translate a diploma and transcript together?
Yes, and you should send both. Credential evaluators and universities generally want the diploma and its додаток translated in full.
What if my document is in Russian but issued in Ukraine?
We translate it and note the source language on the certificate, which is what receiving offices expect.
Documents going abroad
A translated document headed to another country usually needs an apostille or authentication too.
