Kazakhstan works in Russian here
Files heading to Kazakhstan on this route are produced in Russian, and a British record is unusable there until that Russian version exists. A certified translation into Russian in Birmingham creates it from a scan, leaving your English sheet untouched and in your own possession throughout the job.
The Russian is not a summary. Every stamp, seal and margin note on the English is described where it sits, so a reader can move between the two sheets and account for each mark. That completeness matters more on this route than elegant phrasing does.
Two layers: accuracy, then identity
It helps to see the finished bundle as two separate assurances. The first is accuracy: the translator states, signs and dates that the Russian says what the English says. That layer is always present, and it is what the word certified refers to on this page.
The second layer is identity, and it is the notary's. A notary witnesses the signing and records that the person signing is the person named. Kazakh practice varies on whether that second layer is wanted, which is exactly why it exists as an option here instead of being folded silently into the price.
Rate, timing and the source sheet
An official Russian translation in Birmingham runs at roughly £25 a page, priced per side, so a double-sided form counts twice and a four-page transcript counts four times. Standard delivery is 2–4 business days, with 24–48 hours in express. Nothing is metered by word count at any stage.
A certified translation for Kazakhstan is only as clean as the scan it starts from. Where the record is a civil one, Birmingham Register Office on Holliday Street issues fresh certified copies of births, marriages and deaths for an official fee, giving you a crisp spare while the sheet you own stays at home.
