Finnish–Russian Authorised Translator

A certified translation, also known as an official or authorised translation, is a translation of an official document that has been certified as accurate and suitable for official use.

In Finland, an authorised translation can only be produced by a translator who holds authorisation for the relevant language pair and translation direction. The completed translation contains the translator’s confirmation clause and signature.

A certified translation may be required when documents are submitted to public authorities, universities, courts, immigration services, employers, or other official institutions.

We provide certified translations from Finnish into Russian and from Russian into Finnish.

The translation is prepared carefully so that the content, terminology, names, dates, references, stamps, and document structure are transferred accurately into the target language.

When an authorised translation is required, the completed translation is prepared for official use and delivered according to the applicable requirements.

We have particular expertise in certified and professional translations in several fields, including:

• immigration and administrative documents;
• financial documents;
• legal documents;
• medical documents;
• academic and educational documents;
• family and civil-status documents;
• business and corporate documents.

Typical Finnish–Russian assignments include:

• birth, marriage, divorce, and death certificates;
• population register extracts and family documents;
• school certificates, diplomas, and transcripts;
• employment records and professional qualifications;
• residence, immigration, and administrative documents;
• court decisions, agreements, and powers of attorney;
• wills, inheritance documents, and estate records;
• company, commercial, and financial documents;
• other Finnish or Russian documents requiring an authorised translation.

Certified translations are often required for immigration matters, residence permit applications, civil-status registration, employment processes, legal proceedings, and other administrative procedures.

Before ordering a translation, we recommend checking whether the receiving authority requires:

• a certified or authorised translation;
• a specific language direction;
• the complete original document;
• a paper copy;
• an electronic copy;
• an apostille, legalisation, or another additional formality.

Acceptance and authentication requirements depend on the destination country and the organisation receiving the translation.

Educational institutions and recognition authorities may require certified translations of diplomas, certificates, transcripts, professional qualifications, and other study-related documents.

The translation must reproduce names, grades, dates, institutions, qualifications, stamps, and annotations accurately and consistently.

We translate educational documents from Finnish into Russian and from Russian into Finnish.

Certified translations may also be required for legal and business documents, including:

• agreements and contracts;
• powers of attorney;
• court and inheritance documents;
• company registration documents;
• trade register extracts;
• official certificates;
• corporate records;
• other official business materials.

These assignments require careful handling of terminology, names, dates, signatures, references, and document-specific wording.

Our project management team will review the document and confirm:

After the quotation has been accepted, we coordinate the translation assignment and ensure that the document is prepared according to the agreed requirements.

To receive an accurate quotation, send the document or a clear scan and tell us:

• the required language direction, Finnish to Russian or Russian to Finnish;
• whether the translation must be certified or authorised;
• where the translation will be submitted, when known;
• the required deadline;
• whether you need electronic delivery, paper delivery, or both;
• your contact and billing information.

Certified translations are commonly delivered in paper form when an official signature or original document is required.

Depending on the receiving institution’s requirements, an electronic copy may also be delivered for review or practical use.

Please inform us in advance if the receiving authority has specific requirements regarding delivery, certification, authentication, original documents, or formatting.

Official documents may contain personal, legal, financial, medical, or otherwise sensitive information.

Authorised translators have a statutory secrecy obligation. We handle all translation assignments confidentially and use the information only for the purpose of providing the requested translation service.

When documents contain particularly sensitive information, an appropriate handling and delivery method can be agreed separately.
