Residence permits and immigration

Applying for a residence permit, family reunification or naturalisation almost always requires a whole package rather than a single document: passport, birth and marriage certificates, police clearance certificate, diploma — and each of them may need a notarised translation and an apostille. We collect and translate the entire package at once, not one document at a time, so you do not waste time on repeat visits or risk missing the validity period of one of the certificates.

We get this request most often from people moving to the Czech Republic, Poland or Spain — the countries we are actively expanding into. We know their current requirements for translating, certifying and apostilling documents in detail, including nuances that differ even between neighbouring EU countries.

Another subtlety is that the translation must be done in a form the immigration office of that specific country will accept: some accept a Russian notarised translation with an apostille, while others require a translation certified by a sworn translator locally. We check this in advance so the translation does not have to be redone after you move.

If time is tight — for example, your appointment at the immigration office is already booked — we can speed up the translation and certification of individual documents in the package without waiting for all of them to be ready.
