Certification Details
Each translation includes a signed certification statement attesting to accuracy and completeness. For Armenian domestic submissions, we coordinate with MoJ-qualified translators who have passed the Ministry of Justice notary translator qualification test, as required under the RA Law On Notary (HO-274). Internationally, our certified translations are accepted by USCIS, UKVI, IRCC, and the Australian Department of Home Affairs.
Our certified translations of Armenian documents are accepted by all major international authorities including USCIS, UK Visas and Immigration, IRCC (Canada), and the Australian Department of Home Affairs. For Armenian domestic authorities — including the Civil Status Acts Registration Agency, the Ministry of Justice, and Armenian courts — translations must be produced by MoJ-qualified translators and notarized. DoVisa coordinates with registered translators in Yerevan.
Notarization Process
Armenia operates a notary-certified translation system under the RA Law On Notary (HO-274), adopted December 4, 2001. Translators must pass the Ministry of Justice notary translator qualification test to be authorized for certified translations. A notary public then verifies the translator's identity and qualifications and certifies the translator's signature. This notarized translation is required for all official use within Armenia.
Apostille Information
Armenia has been a member of the Hague Apostille Convention since 14 August 1994 (instrument deposited 19 November 1993). Since 26 April 2021, Armenia issues exclusively electronic apostilles (e-Apostilles) — paper apostilles are no longer applied. The Ministry of Justice is the primary competent authority, while the Ministry of Foreign Affairs handles apostilles for criminal record certificates. e-Apostilles are verified via the national portal at e-apostille.am. DoVisa coordinates the complete e-Apostille process.
Legal Framework
The Armenian legal framework for translations is governed by the RA Law On Notary (HO-274), adopted December 4, 2001 (with amendments through 2023), which establishes the notary translator qualification test and governs certification of translation accuracy. The RA Law On Apostille Certification of Official Documents defines the e-Apostille process and competent authorities. Joint Orders No. 483-N (MoJ, October 2021) and No. 2056-N (MFA, October 2021) implement the electronic apostille system.
Common Scenarios for Armenian Document Translation
Immigration & Visa Applications
Armenian nationals applying for US green cards, UK settlement visas, Canadian PR, or Australian skilled migration need certified English translations of birth certificates, police clearance certificates, and academic credentials. DoVisa's certified translations meet all USCIS, UKVI, IRCC, and Australian DHA requirements.
Marriage & Family Documents
Marriage certificates, divorce certificates, and birth certificates issued by the Civil Status Acts Registration Agency need certified translation for spousal visa applications, family reunification, and civil registry proceedings abroad. Armenian names require consistent transliteration across all documents.
Academic Credential Evaluation
Armenian university diplomas and academic transcripts require certified translations for WES, ECE, and NACES-member credential evaluation agencies. DoVisa accurately renders Armenian grading systems and degree nomenclature for international evaluators, ensuring proper recognition of qualifications.
Business & Corporate Documents
Companies operating in or with Armenia need certified translations of commercial registration extracts, corporate bylaws, board resolutions, and employment contracts. Armenia's growing tech sector and free economic zones create specific document translation needs for businesses navigating cross-border compliance.
Legal Proceedings
Armenian court documents, powers of attorney, and legal judgments require certified translation for international legal proceedings. DoVisa translators handle the specialized Armenian legal terminology used in judicial documents, including decisions from the Constitutional Court and Court of Cassation.
Armenia's e-Apostille System: A Fully Digital Process
Armenia became one of the first countries in the region to transition to a fully electronic apostille (e-Apostille) system on 26 April 2021. Since that date, paper apostilles are no longer issued — all apostilles are delivered electronically as digitally signed documents sent via email.
The e-Apostille system is managed by the Ministry of Justice (primary competent authority) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (for criminal record certificates). Each e-Apostille contains a 16-digit control number and a QR code for instant verification through the national portal at e-apostille.am (verification also available at verify.e-gov.am). Printed copies of the electronic apostille are legally valid and can be submitted to authorities in all 129+ Hague Convention member states.
The fee for an Armenian e-Apostille is 7,000 AMD (approximately $17-18 USD) per document. DoVisa coordinates the complete e-Apostille process, handling the application and delivering the digitally signed apostille alongside your certified translation — eliminating the need for physical visits to government offices in Yerevan.
Since April 2021, Armenia issues exclusively electronic apostilles verified via the national e-Apostille portal
The Armenian Script: Translation Challenges and Expertise
The Armenian alphabet (Հայerena aybuben) is a unique writing system created by Mesrop Mashtots in 405 AD, consisting of 38 letters (39 in the reformed orthography). It is used exclusively for the Armenian language and bears no resemblance to Latin, Cyrillic, or Arabic scripts. Translating Armenian documents requires specialized expertise that goes beyond language proficiency.
Armenian official documents present several translation challenges. Name transliteration must follow consistent conventions — Armenian given names and patronymics can be transliterated multiple ways (e.g., Hovhannes vs Hovhanness vs Ohannes), and consistency across all documents in a submission is critical for immigration authorities. The Armenian calendar uses the Gregorian system, but older documents may reference the traditional Armenian calendar. Soviet-era documents (pre-1991) are often bilingual in Armenian and Russian, requiring translators fluent in both languages.
DoVisa's translators are experienced with all types of Armenian documents — from modern Civil Status Acts Registration certificates to Soviet-era vital records, court documents with specialized legal terminology, and academic credentials from Armenian universities. We ensure consistent name transliteration and accurate rendering of Armenian institutional names across all translated documents.
