Sworn Translator of Armenian Language in Poland
Armenian uses a unique script — the Aybuben (Armenian alphabet), created in the 5th century. Polish authorities cannot independently verify the text of an Armenian document. This is why a sworn translator of Armenian language is especially important — the official stamp from the Polish Ministry of Justice certifies the accuracy and completeness of the translation.
The Armenian alphabet: why it matters for translation in Poland
The Armenian alphabet (Aybuben) is a fully independent writing system of 38 characters, with no relation to Latin, Cyrillic or Greek. Polish institutions (voivode office, Urząd ds. Cudzoziemców, ZUS, civil registry) cannot independently identify the text of an Armenian document. A sworn translator with Ministry of Justice accreditation acts as a guarantor of accuracy. At LEGIX we work with Armenian documents from all eras.
Armenian document translations for Polish institutions
Armenian nationals applying for a residence permit in Poland must translate: passports, birth, marriage and divorce certificates, and educational documents. A sworn translation with an official stamp is mandatory for the voivode office.
Educational documents:
Armenian university diplomas, school certificates, academic transcripts
Identity documents:
Republic of Armenia passports (biometric), Soviet passports
Legal documents:
criminal record certificates, powers of attorney, notarial acts — with or without apostille
Corporate documents:
Armenian company charters, registry extracts, licences
Apostille on Armenian documents is issued through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia. We advise clients on the apostille procedure and accept apostilled documents for sworn translation.
Business visa and entrepreneurship: translations for Armenians in Poland
Poland is a popular destination for Armenian entrepreneurs. Setting up a spółka z o.o. or registering as self-employed (JDG) requires Armenian documents to be translated: passport, criminal record certificate, educational documents for professional licences.
A criminal record certificate from Armenia requires an apostille from the Armenian Ministry of Justice before submission in Poland. We translate such documents that already carry an apostille.
To open a bank account in a Polish bank for an Armenian company, translations of the company charter, extract from the Armenian company register and financial documents are required.
Armenian documents from the Soviet period
Many Armenians living in Poland have Soviet-era documents (1920–1991): Armenian SSR civil registry certificates, Soviet passports, work record books. These were issued in Russian or Armenian with a Russian translation.
Soviet Armenian documents generally do not require an apostille. We know the current practice and prepare documents correctly.
For ZUS when applying for a pension based on work periods in the Armenian SSR, translations of the work record book and salary certificates are required.

Turnaround and pricing for sworn translation from Armenian
The cost of a sworn translation from Armenian depends on several factors:
- Document type and volume (Armenian script requires particular care)
- Period of issue: Soviet (Russian text) or modern (Armenian alphabet)
- Presence of apostille and need for its verification
- Urgency: standard — 24–48 hours, express — upon agreement
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Send a scan of your document — we will reply with a price and timeline. We work with Aybuben and Soviet Armenian documents.
It depends on the purpose. If you are registering a birth in a Polish civil registry office based on an Armenian document, an apostille is generally required. If you are simply including the certificate in a package for the voivode office, a sworn translation may suffice. We will advise based on your specific situation.
