Since 2022, Russian Translation Pros has provided Russian-language translation and accessibility services for the Chicago Board of Elections, supporting language access across multiple election cycles. Our work includes written translation and multi-round proofreading of official primary and general election ballots — candidate names, subdistrict offices, and referendum measures — along with onsite voiceover recording and audio proofreading for the accessible audio ballots used in Chicago's voting systems. This ongoing work involves both onsite time at the Board's downtown office (69 W. Washington St.) and remote coordination to meet election-cycle deadlines.

Trusted by top corporations, law firms, and thousands of clients in the Chicago area & nationwide.
At our company, we specialize in translating a wide variety of documents, ensuring that each translation meets the necessary legal and official standards. We provide certified and notarized translations from Russian, Ukrainian, and English, catering to both personal and professional needs throughout the United States, including Chicago and Illinois.
Certified translation is a process where a translator certifies that the translation is accurate and complete. This certification is crucial for documents that will be submitted to official entities, such as government agencies, educational institutions, and legal bodies. The translator provides a signed statement, known as a Certificate of Translation Accuracy, which attests to their qualifications and the fidelity of the translation. This certificate typically includes the translator's name, signature, address, and the date of certification.
In addition to the translation itself, we also provide an Affidavit of Translation Accuracy, which further confirms the translator's responsibility for the accuracy of the final document. This is particularly important for documents that require a high level of scrutiny, such as immigration papers or legal contracts.
Ready for USCIS, courts and universities.
Our certified translations are widely accepted by various institutions, including:
This broad acceptance underscores the reliability and professionalism of our translation services.
We handle a diverse range of documents, including but not limited to:
Each translation is performed by professional human translators who are fluent in both the source and target languages, ensuring that the nuances of the original text are preserved.
The process of ordering your documents for a certified translation is easy:
You can submit your documents electronically to our Chicago Russian translator at [email protected];
As soon as we receive your electronic copy, we will review it and let you know the cost and turnaround time.
If you agree to our terms, you will have to make a prepayment for the service using our payment page.
Once the translation is ready, we will email you a draft translation. After your review, we will certify, notarize and email you a PDF copy or mail a hard copy of your official papers.
In your initial email to us, please include the correct spelling of your name in English (if applicable) along with your contact phone number, email address and mailing address. Please let us know if you have any deadlines.
In some cases, a notarized translation may be required. Notarization adds an extra layer of authenticity, as it involves a notary public verifying the identity of the translator and the accuracy of the translation. This is particularly important for documents that will be used in legal proceedings or submitted to government agencies in Chicago and Illinois.
Our certified translations can be delivered as non-editable PDF files, complete with a signed and stamped Certificate of Translation Accuracy. This document serves as proof of the thoroughness and accuracy of the translation, as well as the qualifications of the translator.
Whether you need a certified translation for immigration purposes, academic applications, or legal matters in Chicago, Illinois, or anywhere else in the United States, we are here to assist you. Our commitment to quality and accuracy ensures that your documents will be translated with the utmost care and professionalism. If you have any questions or need assistance with your translation needs, feel free to reach out to us!
At Russian Translation Pros, we eliminate the hassle of obtaining an Apostille for your translated or Illinois-issued documents. When you choose our professional Apostille service, you can trust that you're getting fast, reliable service—at a fraction of the cost charged by many other providers.
Our Apostilles are issued by the State of Illinois and are typically affixed to notarized translations or official Illinois-issued documents (such as birth, marriage, or divorce certificates). For countries like Belarus, an Apostille is often required on the translated document itself. That’s why, after delivering a certified and notarized translation, we can also obtain an Apostille on your behalf.
If you choose us to submit your documents to the Illinois Secretary of State, rest assured they will be properly prepared with the correct notary statement wording to ensure successful processing.
⚠️ Please note: An Apostille can only be attached to a notarized document—either a notarized translation or an original notarized document.
When your interpreter truly understands your subject matter, communication flows naturally — you can be confident that you're understood, and that you understand everything being said to you.
At Russian Translation Pros, we match you with an experienced Russian interpreter suited to your specific needs — someone with both a relevant language degree and hands-on experience in your subject area.
Our professional Russian interpreters facilitate clear two-way communication by going beyond word-for-word translation. They convey not only the words being spoken, but also the intended meaning, tone, and context.
Our professional Russian interpreters provide Russian-English interpreting in a range of settings, including consecutive, whispered, and simultaneous conference interpreting. Our clients range from individuals to government and corporate organizations throughout Chicago.
Onsite, by phone or video.
Ballot translation · audio ballots · onsite verification
We've also worked with municipal and government clients on multi-format language accessibility projects — combining ballot translation, audio recording, and onsite verification to meet strict accuracy and compliance requirements. Our ongoing work with the Chicago Board of Elections is one example of this kind of specialized, high-stakes project.
McCormick Place, Chicago
For example, Russian Translation Pros provided Russian interpreting services for the Russian National Exhibition held at Chicago's McCormick Place in November 2009.
Our Chicago Russian-English interpreters also have experience working in international and diplomatic settings. For years, our clients have hired us to provide professional, accurate, and neutral interpretation during complex and demanding proceedings.
We have interpreters with extensive experience at Green Card, Asylum, and other immigration interviews across Chicago. For Chicago-area applicants, Green card (adjustment of status) interviews may be scheduled at the USCIS Chicago Field Office, located at 101 W. Ida B. Wells Drive (formerly 101 W. Congress Parkway), Chicago, IL. Asylum interviews are held at the USCIS Asylum Office for Illinois, 181 W. Madison Street, Suite 3000, Chicago, IL 60602. Immigration hearings are scheduled at the Chicago Immigration Court, 55 E. Monroe Street, Suite 1500, Chicago, IL 60603. We provide accurate, neutral, and professional interpretation for these interviews.
Asylum cases call for especially careful preparation, since each case brings its own vocabulary and context — whether the claim involves political persecution, religious persecution, or persecution based on minority or ethnic status. Whenever possible, we ask for preparatory materials in advance so our interpreter can review the applicant's background, personal statement, and case-specific terminology before the interview — ensuring nothing gets lost or misunderstood on the day that matters most.
Our rates vary depending on the subject matter, assignment duration, location, and type of interpretation (simultaneous or consecutive). Contact us today for a free, no-obligation estimate.
One of our Chicago interpreters has worked with us since 2015. Before settling in the Chicago area she was a university professor and department chair of foreign languages and translation, with a PhD in English philology and about 40 years of interpreting behind her.
In Chicago she has interpreted asylum interviews at the USCIS Asylum Office on West Madison Street, green card interviews downtown, attorney meetings in Schaumburg, insurance interviews and driving tests. She has also trained as a court and medical interpreter in Illinois.
For asylum cases she asks for your personal statement in advance and studies it, and she arrives early so you can talk before the interview starts. More about our interpreters.
