Questions before ordering
If your document does not match one of these situations, send it anyway. Support replies in 15–30 minutes during support hours.
How much does a Ukrainian passport translation cost?+−
The certified translation is priced per physical page, so the document type decides the total. A card or travel-passport data page is one page; a booklet with registration and stamp pages is usually two to five.
Do I need the whole passport translated?+−
It depends which document you hold. A card or travel passport is often just the data page, while a booklet is Ukrainian throughout and the filing usually wants the identity page plus the registration and stamp pages. We tell you which ones before you pay.
Will my Ukrainian passport translation be accepted by USCIS?+−
The delivery includes your source-document scan, a complete English translation, and a signed and stamped Certificate of Translation Accuracy. If a receiving authority rejects the translation for a translation-related reason, we revise it free. If it is still rejected, we refund the translation cost.
My ID-card is already in English. Do I still need a translation?+−
Often only in part, and the receiving office decides. Many still want the full card certified, and none of them can read an address off it, because registration is no longer printed on the document at all.
My card does not show my address. What do I send instead?+−
The довідка про реєстрацію, a separate certificate of residence registration issued to card holders. Since 2016 the address lives in the state register rather than on the document, so this certificate is the evidence an office is really asking for.
Why is my name spelled differently than on my older documents?+−
Because the source language of the spelling changed. Ukrainian passports follow CMU Resolution No. 55 of 2010, so Сергій prints as Serhii where a Soviet-era record said Sergey. We copy the passport spelling and flag the difference rather than reconciling it ourselves.
Is the patronymic kept in the translation?+−
Yes, wherever the document prints it. The booklet and the civil records carry по батькові such as Volodymyrovych or Petrivna, and it is often the clearest evidence that a birth certificate and a passport describe one person.
My booklet is in both Ukrainian and Russian. Which side gets translated?+−
Both, always. Early-1990s books print parallel Ukrainian and Russian, and the two sides can disagree on a place name or a spelling, so a translation from one side alone hides the discrepancy instead of showing it.
Do you translate the machine-readable lines?+−
Yes, both of them, in full. They repeat the name, number, nationality, and dates in a fixed format that a reviewer may compare against the printed fields.
My passport is expired. Can you still translate it?+−
Yes, and expired Ukrainian passports are common evidence of prior status or travel. The translation states the validity dates as printed rather than presenting the document as current.
How long does a Ukrainian passport translation take?+−
A data page is usually delivered within 24 hours after we receive a clear scan. A multi-page booklet takes a little longer, and we confirm the window before work begins.
Is there a word cap on a page?+−
No. We bill the physical page you upload, never a 250-word unit. A stamp-covered page stays one billed page.
Do you need my physical passport?+−
No. A clear scan or phone photo of the pages you need is enough, and the passport never leaves you. Photograph the page flat, in even light, with all four corners visible.
