He finished 12th in Pune. He got the invitation letter from a Russian medical university. Then a flat email: "Your Migration Certificate is in Marathi. It must be in Russian with notary seal. Admission on hold." His seat went to another student the next day.
Every year, thousands of Indian students join Russian universities for MBBS. The university asks for a Migration Certificate — proof you left your Indian school to study abroad. But Indian state boards issue it in Marathi, Hindi, Bengali, or Tamil. No Russian translation = admission cancelled, seat lost, deposit forfeited.
The Problem
WHY YOUR ADMISSION GETS CANCELLED
Russian universities verify every document. A Migration Certificate in a regional Indian language fails verification. Here is how it goes wrong:
⚠ Why universities demand it: A Migration Certificate proves you formally left your Indian school. Russian universities need it to confirm your academic path is legitimate. Without a readable (Russian) version, they won't hold your seat.
The Fix
THE 4-STEP TRANSLATION PROCESS
Get the original Migration Certificate
Collect it from your school/board. Confirm it is the final signed copy.
Certified Russian translation
A translator certified for Russian renders the full document — every line, every stamp.
Notary seal + translator statement
The translation gets the translator's certification statement and a notary public's seal.
Submit before the deadline
Send the Russian version to the university with your other admission documents.
⚠ The Time Trap: Schools issue Migration Certificates only after you formally leave. Request it late and you miss the university's document deadline. Order the translation the same day you get the original.
Don't Forget

Answers
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is a Migration Certificate mandatory for MBBS in Russia?
Yes. Russian universities list it among required documents for 2026 admission. It proves you left your Indian school to study abroad.
My Migration Certificate is in Marathi. Will English work?
Some universities accept English, but many require Russian. Get a certified Russian translation with notary seal to be safe.
How long does the translation take?
Standard 24 hours. Express same-day available during peak intake. Order the moment you receive the original.
Is Transfer Certificate the same as Migration Certificate?
Same purpose — proof of leaving school. Some states call it TC, some Migration Certificate. Both come in regional language and need translation.
What if I already submitted and it was rejected?
Get the Russian translation done immediately and resubmit. Universities may give a short grace window — but your seat isn't guaranteed. Act within 24 hours.
Do I need to apostille the Migration Certificate?
For admission (not visa), a certified notarized Russian translation is usually enough. We can add MEA apostille if the university asks.
Can I translate it after reaching Russia?
You can, but it costs 2-3x and your admission is already at risk. Translate in India before the deadline.
