Translator Qualifications
As per the information from the U.S. Department of State, translators who handle certified English translations aren't necessarily mandated to have formal certifications. However, they must be competent in both Ukrainian and English. The translation should be supplemented with a statement signed by the translator attesting to their proficiency in the two languages and ensuring the accuracy of the translation.
Certification Requirements
Based on the guidelines from the U.S. Department of State, all translations must have an accompanying signed statement from the translator that confirms their fluency in both Ukrainian and English and guarantees the correctness of the translation. Given Ukraine's adherence to the Hague Apostille Convention, certain documents may need an apostille for validation.
Ukrainian nationals are recommended to directly consult the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in Ukraine for comprehensive and current requirements tailored to their specific situation.
