Moldovan translator

Linguistically, standard Moldovan in Latin script is identical to standard Romanian. Since the constitutional amendment of 2023 the official language of Moldova is constitutionally named 'Romanian', and the Constitutional Court had already confirmed this in 2013. Because Moldovan records are usually drawn up in Romanian, a certified Moldovan translation runs through Romanian-language specialists. In Transnistria a separate Cyrillic variant exists, which we handle with extra attention to transliteration.

As a Moldovan translation agency we provide certified translation: a signed and dated statement of accuracy from the translator or the agency, with our contact details. The UK has no sworn-translator institute, so there is no 'sworn translator' as a legal office here. Where a body asks for more, this can be escalated to notarisation by a solicitor or notary public, or to an apostille or legalisation through the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). We confirm in the quote which level your receiving authority requires, whether that is UKVI, the Home Office, a court or a university.

Yes. Transnistrian documents are often in Cyrillic script and contain more Russian loanwords. We recognise this script and handle these documents with separate attention to the transliteration of names, place names and institutions, so the details match for the receiving authority.

Often, yes. Moldovan documents usually need an apostille or legalisation before they will be accepted in the UK; Moldova is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention (1961). We flag the right route up front and prepare the translation to suit it. For UK-issued documents you can arrange legalisation through the FCDO via [GOV.UK](https://www.gov.uk/get-document-legalised).

On working days you receive a reply to your request within 1 hour. The lead time for the translation itself depends on document type, volume, script and any required certification, and is confirmed in the quote. For tight deadlines we confirm a workable rush schedule up front rather than promising a fixed turnaround.

A Moldovan translation agency takes the coordination off your hands. We assess whether your document is Moldovan or Romanian and in Latin or Cyrillic script, select the right specialist, arrange certification, notarisation or legalisation where an authority requires it, and keep transliteration consistent. You keep one point of contact for language combination, terminology, the apostille route, scheduling and delivery, all under a single quote. A skilled freelance translator does excellent work too; the difference an agency adds is bringing those moving parts together so you are not managing them separately.
