Translation agency Shpola

Articles of association, register extracts and powers of attorney

These documents are translated in full, including the stamps, signatures and notes on the original. The company name, the director's name and the address are spelt the same way in every document of the package. So if you have several documents from one company, send them together. Our approach to legal texts is described on the legal document translation page.

Contracts, invoices and certificates

Contracts with foreign partners can be translated in both directions. Your partner's English text is translated into Ukrainian so that you know all the terms before signing. We also prepare your version of the contract in English or in your partner's language. In a contract, the editor separately checks the amounts, dates, bank details and names of the parties against the original.

Invoices, product certificates and other accompanying documents get the same careful treatment. For a farm we can translate the whole package in one order: the contract with the buyer, the invoice, the certificates and the machinery manual. More about reports and other financial papers is on the financial document translation page.

Technical documentation and equipment manuals

If a machine arrives with a manual in English, German or Polish, we will translate it into Ukrainian. Your staff will then be able to work with it. We also translate equipment data sheets, specifications, tables and labels on diagrams, and the editor checks figures, units of measurement and symbols against the original.

For a large technical text, the manager agrees the deadline in advance, once they have seen the full volume. Please send the complete file rather than an excerpt. You will receive the price and the completion date for the manual before you pay. More about this work is on the technical translation page.

Notary, apostille or sworn translation

Our agency stamp on the translation is enough for many institutions a company deals with. A notarised translation is done when the receiving institution asks for it. In that case the translator signs it, and a notary confirms the signature is authentic. Courts, consulates and government bodies, both Ukrainian and foreign, often want this for company documents.

Articles of association or a register extract submitted abroad may need an apostille, or consular legalisation for countries outside the Hague Convention. We handle both procedures for company documents and file the papers ourselves. If a partner in Poland, Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, France or another country requires a sworn translation, we arrange that too.

Prices, timing and payment

A standard document costs from UAH 250 to translate, the same starting price for companies and private clients. Your manager assesses a contract, a manual or a package of documents from the file and names the exact sum and deadline before any payment. For a preliminary estimate there is a calculator on the Pricing page. Companies can pay by bank transfer, by any bank card through a payment link, or via PayPal.

Private clients in Shpola can also order translations of personal documents: passports, birth and marriage certificates, diplomas and driving licences. Such translations are usually ready in about 1 working day. An urgent one can take anything from a few hours up to 1–2 working days, depending on language and volume.

Working with the Shpola office remotely

Scans and photos can go to us on Telegram, Viber or WhatsApp, or to info@admiral.com.ua, which is handier for large files. We reply to messages daily between 9:00 and 21:00 and answer the phone on weekdays between 9:00 and 18:00. The finished translation arrives as a file, and a stamped paper copy can be sent by Nova Poshta, even to a partner abroad. Where certification requires the original, your manager will suggest how to pass it on.

Opening hours for the Heroiv Krut Street office are shown in its card on this page. The nearest Admiral offices are also in Korsun-Shevchenkivskyi, Zvenyhorodka and Cherkasy.

Translator, editor and manager

Every contract or manual is translated by a translator, and an editor then compares it with the original, checking figures, dates, names and stamps. Texts meant for a foreign partner can also go to a native speaker when needed. Your manager stays in touch from the first file to the finished translation, answers questions and watches the deadline.

Since 2008 Admiral has translated documents for companies and private clients, and the agency holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 17100:2015 certification. Companies, like private clients, get a lifetime guarantee: we will always meet you halfway, whatever the situation.
