Ukrainian to Polish translation in Wrocław: where to submit documents

The Lower Silesian regional office at Powstańców Warszawy street No. 1 is the main address for residence permits in Wrocław and across the region. Applications and any follow-up requests for missing documents are handled here; the office accepts sworn translations of birth and marriage certificates, diplomas, income statements, military records, and criminal record certificates. Appointments are booked through the government trusted profile system or by phone — without a complete set of sworn translations, the visit won't proceed.

• Wrocław's registry office records marriages, births, and deaths. Translations of Ukrainian civil status documents are submitted according to the rules the office sets. A common mistake is translating from a copy when the office requires a translation made from the original — confirm this before sending scans to a translator.
• Address registration is handled by district offices across Wrocław: Śródmieście, Krzyki, Fabryczna, Psie Pole, and Stare Miasto. Registration usually requires a translated lease agreement or property document, and occasionally a certificate. The address on the registration must match the address on the residence permit application — any mismatch sends the whole package back from the regional office.
• The social insurance office, labor office, and employers all accept the same sworn translation delivered by courier from LEGIX; the translator doesn't need to appear in person. For diploma recognition through the national academic exchange agency, its Wrocław branch doesn't replace the translation step — a sworn translation comes first, then the application, often submitted online.
• The regional and district courts in Wrocław require sworn translation of all acts and rulings for inheritance cases, divorces, and other proceedings involving Ukrainian documents. Notarized translations issued in Ukraine are not accepted — only a seal from a translator listed with Poland's Ministry of Justice counts.
• For a full breakdown of document types and apostille rules, see the national guide to the Ukrainian–Polish language pair; this article covers Wrocław-specific routing only.

Birth certificate → regional office (residence permit), Wrocław registry office (marriage, child registration) → registry offices typically require a certificate no older than 3–6 months; check the exact limit for the regional office in any follow-up request.

• Marriage or divorce certificate → regional office and registry office → same validity as a birth certificate. After a name change, check that transliteration is consistent across the whole package and the address registration.
• Criminal record certificate from Ukraine → regional office, employer, some universities → 3–6 months from the issue date; confirm the current limit for Wrocław.
• Diploma with transcript → employer, regional office (for certain residence grounds), the national academic exchange agency (recognition), University of Wrocław, Wrocław University of Science and Technology → an apostille from Ukraine's Ministry of Education is often required for recognition; translation runs 3 to 15 pages.
• Employment contract or income certificate → regional office, social insurance office → translation needed if the original is in Ukrainian.
• Lease agreement with handover protocol → address registration at the district office, regional office (address confirmation) → all pages of the agreement must be translated.
• Military ID and other military documents → regional office (for certain applications) → full translation required.

The main article “Translating documents from Ukrainian to Polish” explains what sworn translation is, covers the language pair, apostille under the 1993 Poland–Ukraine agreement, and common name-spelling mistakes. Start there if you're ordering a translation for the first time.

• This Wrocław supplement doesn't repeat those chapters. It covers the regional office address on Powstańców Warszawy street, the registry office by district, address registration in Fabryczna or Krzyki, and local certificate validity periods. The translation format is identical everywhere in Poland — only the filing address and sometimes the attachment list change.
• If you found this page while searching for translation services in Wrocław, you can order online from LEGIX with courier delivery to the city — the office doesn't require a locally based translator, only one listed with the Ministry of Justice for the Ukrainian–Polish pair.
• The link to the national guide is useful for deeper reading on apostille rules, diploma recognition, and how sworn translation compares with a notarized translation made in Ukraine.

The price of a sworn translation doesn't depend on the city: LEGIX calculates volume by pages of the original, using the 1,125-character standard per page. A certificate usually fits on one page; a diploma with transcript runs three to fifteen. You'll get an exact quote after we see your scan — see the price list page.

Standard turnaround is 24–48 hours for single-page documents; diplomas take two to four business days. Courier delivery across Wrocław and Lower Silesia comes with no extra 'regional' fee for standard orders.

Order a birth certificate, criminal record certificate, and lease agreement together as a set — the translator will keep the name spelling consistent across all of them, reducing the risk of a follow-up request from the regional office.
