The vaccination certificate (прививочный сертификат)

Russia records immunisation in a vaccination certificate booklet (прививочный сертификат) and in the outpatient card held by the clinic. Entries carry the date, the vaccine, the series and the clinic stamp.

The Russian schedule includes BCG at birth and revaccination, and uses domestic vaccine names and combinations a US reader will not recognise. We give the Russian name, the standard English designation and the date.

The medical card (медицинская карта) stays at the clinic

The outpatient record (медицинская карта амбулаторного больного) is held by the polyclinic to which the patient is attached, and inpatients receive a discharge extract (выписка) rather than the inpatient chart.

So what a patient can produce is the vaccination certificate, discharge extracts and certificates (справки). We name each and the institution.

Stamps, and what they do

Russian medical documents rely heavily on stamps: the institution's rectangular stamp, its round seal, the physician's personal stamp with their name and, on some documents, a triangular seal. A document without the round seal is frequently not accepted.

We describe each stamp, translate its text and say where it sits, because a US reader given three impressions cannot tell which one matters.

Handwriting, and Soviet-era records

Russian clinical notes are frequently handwritten in cursive with heavy abbreviation and Latin drug names, and legibility rather than language is the harder problem. Where a passage is genuinely illegible we say so rather than guessing.

Soviet-era records name institutions and republics that no longer exist, and Russian-language records also come from other former Soviet states. We name the issuing state. See our Russian page.

Ordering, and what the certification covers

Upload the document, choose certified translation at $24.95 per page with no word cap, and it comes back typically within 24 hours as a PDF formatted to mirror the original, with a signed certificate of translation accuracy on letterhead. Marginal annotations are translated in place, in the margin, and every seal, stamp and registry endorsement is translated with the text. See how we translate and certified versus standard.

Frequently asked questions

What should I send for an I-693?

Where is my medical chart?

Held by the polyclinic you are attached to. Patients receive discharge extracts and certificates.

Which stamp matters?

The institution's round seal is usually the one offices check. We describe each stamp and translate its text.

The notes are illegible.

We transcribe what is legible and flag what is not. A guessed drug name is worse than a gap.
