Russian Police Clearance Certificate Translation
A certified Russian police clearance certificate 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 police clearance certificate documents are one page. Updated September 26, 2026.
Справка о несудимости — certified, notarized and delivered in 24 hours from $25 a page ($35 with notarization).
Certified English translation of the Russian police clearance certificate (Справка о несудимости), accepted by USCIS, courts, universities and credential evaluators. $25 per page certified for USCIS, or $35 per page with notarization included, delivered in 24 hours.
What this document looks like
A single-page certificate from the Ministry of Internal Affairs stating the presence or absence of a criminal record, with a reference number, issuing authority, seal and date. The wording of the negative finding is formulaic and must be rendered exactly, not paraphrased.
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:
- The precise wording of the finding — ‘no record of conviction’ and ‘no unexpunged conviction’ are not the same statement
- The reference number and issuing department in full
- The issue date, since consulates apply validity limits measured from it
- Seal text naming the issuing office
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
Immigrant visa consular processing, adjustment of status where required, naturalization where an applicant has lived abroad, adoption cases, and certain professional licences.
What you receive
- A copy of the Russian original, so the packet satisfies the requirement that the foreign document accompany the translation
- The English translation, laid out to mirror the original page for page, with every seal, stamp, number and handwritten note accounted for and anything unreadable marked [illegible]
- A signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy — notarization is the $35 tier
Delivered as a print-ready PDF within 24 hours. Hard copies with wet ink and an embossed seal ship the same day for $15. If the document is going abroad, we can add a New York apostille for $300.

Frequently asked
How much does it cost to translate a Russian police clearance certificate?
$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 police clearance certificates 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 orders up to 3 pages, 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.
