Translator Qualifications
Based on the regulations set forth by the U.S. Department of State, the translator should be competent enough to undertake the translation. Although there isn't a specified certification explicitly required for translators, they must be fluent in both the original language (in this context, Ukrainian) and English. Alongside the translation, the translator needs to provide a certification that attests to the accuracy and completeness of their work.
Certification Requirements
According to the U.S. Department of State, documents that are translated must come with a translator's certification affirming that the translation is accurate and that the translator is proficient enough to conduct the translation. While this certification doesn't necessarily need notarization, it is always recommended to liaise with the U.S. embassy or consulate in Ukraine to discern any specific stipulations they may have regarding notarization or apostille.
