Prism Linguistics provides certified English translation of Moldavan documents, whether written in Romanian, in Soviet-era Cyrillic or in Russian, and Moldavan interpreters for court, medical and USCIS appointments in Vancouver and nationwide.
Prism Linguistics provides certified Moldavan translation services in Vancouver and qualified Moldavan interpreters for the hospitals, courts, USCIS appointments and attorneys that serve the city's Moldovan-born families. Our Moldavan translators read Romanian, Soviet-era Cyrillic and Russian, so one team handles the whole file.
Vancouver is the seat of Clark County in southwest Washington. Clark County Superior Court is the court of general jurisdiction, trying felonies and larger civil suits, while Clark County District Court is the court of limited jurisdiction for traffic infractions, misdemeanors and gross misdemeanors, smaller civil cases and small claims. Prism Linguistics works from one office, in New York, and assigns a linguist based near Vancouver for anything in person.
Vancouver Public Schools runs free interpretation and translation for families and lists its own staff interpreters in Spanish, Russian and Chuukese, alongside American Sign Language support; parent rights notices are posted in Spanish and Russian. Chuukese points to Micronesian families in the district, which also hosts the Native American Parent Association of Southwest Washington. PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center serves the city. Courts and attorneys come to Prism for Chuukese and other languages other providers cannot supply, and for USCIS-compliant certified translation of immigration filings.
Certified Moldavan translation in Vancouver is assigned by the alphabet on the page, not the country stamp. A Soviet-era ZAGS certificate goes to a Moldavan translator who reads Russian and the old Moldavan Cyrillic; a Public Services Agency record to one working from Romanian; a bilingual form gets both columns translated, since an untranslated column reads as a missing page. Each carries a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy.
Moldavan translation for USCIS in Vancouver follows the diversity visa and family petition files: the birth and marriage certificates, the cazier judiciar police certificate, a divorce decree from a Moldovan district court, and sometimes a Soviet-era military booklet in Russian. USCIS wants each in full English with the translator's certification, no apostille needed, and our Moldavan translators handle the Russian and Romanian pages of one file together.
Moldavan court document translation in Vancouver usually means a divorce or custody judgment from a Moldovan district court, a notarised power of attorney, an inheritance certificate, or a Transnistrian document from an authority no US court recognises. Our Moldavan legal translators render the hotărâre with its case number, court and judge as printed, translate the apostille page, and describe an unrecognised issuer exactly as it names itself.
Certified Moldavan to English translation covers whatever the file holds: a Soviet ZAGS certificate in Russian and Moldavan Cyrillic, a Romanian-language record from the Public Services Agency, the multilingual extract and the archival certificate issued when an original is gone, each rendered by a qualified Moldavan translator with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy.
Moldavan, Moldovan, Romanian: one language, three names, two alphabets. Moldova's parliament settled the naming in March 2023 by making Romanian the sole state language, but the records a Moldavan applicant holds were issued under every earlier rule. A birth certificate from before 1991 comes from a Soviet ZAGS office in Russian and in Moldavan Cyrillic; one from the 1990s onward is in Romanian in Latin script, issued today through the Agenția Servicii Publice, which also issues a multilingual extract and online duplicates. USCIS does not need the duplicate; it needs a complete Moldavan translation of what you hold, both languages of a bilingual Soviet form and every stamp included.
Ion on the passport, Ivan on the birth certificate. Soviet records often wrote Moldavan names in their Russian form, so Ion appears as Ivan and Dumitru as Dmitri, and the Cyrillic can be romanised the Russian way or the Romanian way. A Moldavan translator who picks the Russian romanisation produces a name that matches nothing else in the file. We transliterate to the Latin spelling on the Moldovan passport, keep the diacritics, and note the Russian form on the original.
Every certified Moldavan translation is a complete, word-for-word rendering with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy, prepared to meet USCIS requirements. It is done from a clear scan, so a client in Vancouver gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in the country.

Prism Linguistics supplies professional Moldavan interpreters in Vancouver for medical appointments, court hearings, depositions and USCIS interviews, in person, by phone or by video, together with certified translation of the Romanian and Russian records that go with those cases.
Our Moldavan interpreters in Vancouver are experienced, professional linguists who work in hospitals, state courts and USCIS field offices, and who are matched to the language the person actually uses at home: Romanian, Russian or both.
Romanian, Russian or both? Ask before you book. A Moldavan speaker from the capital will follow a Romanian interpreter without difficulty; the standard language is the same on both banks of the Prut. But many older Moldavan speakers, and most people from Transnistria or Gagauzia, are more at ease in Russian, and a witness may answer in Romanian and quote a document in Russian in the same breath. We ask which language the person actually uses at home and, where the answer is both, send a Moldavan interpreter who has both.
Working-age arrivals rarely need a Moldavan interpreter; their parents do. About 56,000 US residents were born in Moldova on 2022 American Community Survey estimates, with the largest numbers in California, New York and Washington state, and most of them identify as Romanian. No state runs a court certification exam in Romanian or Moldavan, so courts use a qualified Moldavan interpreter and come to a private agency like ours for it; we are not a court-appointed vendor. A federally funded hospital must provide a Moldavan interpreter at no cost. At USCIS the Moldavan interpreter renders each answer as given, in whichever language it came.
For an in-person assignment in Vancouver we assign a Moldavan interpreter based in or near the city. Telephone and video interpreting can usually be arranged the same day. We serve courts, attorneys, hospitals, USCIS applicants and private individuals; we are a private agency, not a court-appointed vendor, and we say so up front.
Moldavan, more often written Moldovan, is the language of Moldova, and linguistically it is Romanian. The distinction is political rather than practical: a Moldovan birth certificate is translated by a Romanian linguist. Older Soviet era documents may be in Cyrillic script and Russian, so a set of family records can need two different pairings. Moldovan communities in the United States are concentrated in Washington state, Oregon, Sacramento, and Chicago, largely alongside Romanian and Ukrainian arrivals.

The language is the same; the documents are not. A Moldavan record may be in Romanian, in Soviet-era Cyrillic or in Russian, often on one bilingual form, and names may appear in their Russian form. We translate all of it, transliterate to the passport spelling, and note the variants, which a Romanian-only translator often misses.
Yes. We ask at booking which language the person uses at home and, where the answer is both, assign a Moldavan interpreter who works in Romanian and Russian, so a witness can answer in one and quote a document in the other without a second interpreter.
No. Our only office is in New York. Moldavan translation is done remotely from a scan, so location makes no difference to the document work. For in-person interpreting in Vancouver we assign a Moldavan interpreter who is based in or near the city, and phone or video interpreting is available anywhere in the United States.
