Russian Medical Record Translation
A certified Russian medical record translation into English for USCIS costs $25 per page at Certified Translation Center in Brooklyn, NY — $35 per page with a New York notary seal — and is delivered as a signed PDF within 24 hours, prepared to 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). Most medical record documents are one page. Updated October 1, 2026.
Медицинская справка / прививочный сертификат — certified or notarized.
Certified English translation of the Russian medical record (Медицинская справка / прививочный сертификат), accepted by USCIS, courts, universities and credential evaluators.
What this document looks like
Vaccination certificates, outpatient cards, hospital discharge summaries (выписной эпикриз) and laboratory reports. Heavily abbreviated, with clinical shorthand that is not in general dictionaries.
We translate Russian-language documents from Russia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova, including Soviet-era records that are still in everyday circulation across all of them.
What has to appear in the translation
A certified translation must be complete — not the important parts, all of it. For this document in particular, these are the elements most often left out by other providers, and omission is the leading cause of a Request for Evidence:
- Vaccine names and dates, which the civil surgeon will read line by line for the I-693
- Clinical abbreviations, which have to be expanded correctly rather than transliterated
- Drug names, which often appear under Russian trade names with different international generic names
- Physician stamps and licence numbers
Send the reverse side. Corrections, re-registrations, endorsements and later stamps live on the back of the page far more often than people expect. If the back is blank, tell us it is blank — that way we both know it was checked.
Who needs this translated — by purpose
One certified Russian to English medical record translation covers each of these.
For the I-693 medical exam
The civil surgeon reviews your vaccination history. A Russian vaccination record (прививочный сертификат) is easier to accept with a certified English translation.
For asylum and other USCIS filings
Medical evidence of injuries or treatment often supports an asylum claim. Every page you file must be translated in full. USCIS accepts a certified translation: a complete English translation plus the translator’s signed certificate of accuracy and competence (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)). Notarization is not required.
For U.S. doctors and insurers
Discharge summaries (выписной эпикриз), test results and diagnoses translated so a U.S. physician or insurer can read your history.
Also used for
Disability claims and school or work health requirements.

Frequently asked
How much does it cost to translate a Russian medical record?
$25 per page for a certified translation (translation + signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy — what USCIS requires), or $35 per page certified and notarized (a separate commissioned New York notary notarizes the translator’s signature). Most medical records are a single page, so the usual total is $25 — $35 if you need the notary seal.
Is $25–$35 a page more expensive than other certified translation services?
For the certified translation USCIS asks for, our $25 a page sits in the middle of the market and includes the signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that some lower prices leave out. For a notarized page — what courts, consulates and many schools want — $35 covers the translation, the certificate, notarization of the translator’s signature by a New York notary and 24-hour delivery on single documents, which is below every provider in our comparison that charges a separate notary fee (prices checked September 10, 2026).
Does USCIS require the translation to be notarized?
No. 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) requires a full English translation plus the translator's signed certification of completeness, accuracy and competence. Notarization is not required by USCIS. If you need it — consulates, courts and schools abroad often do — choose the notarized tier at $35 a page, where a separate commissioned New York notary notarizes the translator's signature.
Can I send a photo taken with my phone?
Yes. Make sure all four corners are in the frame, nothing covers a seal, and you photograph the reverse side as well if anything is printed or stamped there.
How fast will I get it?
24 hours as standard. Rush 12-hour service is available for an extra $15 per page.
Do I need to submit the original along with the translation?
Yes. The regulation requires the foreign-language document to accompany the translation. We deliver the packet already assembled in the correct order — copy of the original, translation, signed certificate.
Can you translate a Russian discharge summary (epicrisis)?
Yes. We translate discharge summaries, lab results and consultation records word for word, including handwriting, stamps and abbreviations. $25 per page certified, delivered in 24 hours.
