Hello! My husband just received a Police Clearance Certificate from Russia. He keeps the original for future present on the interview in consulate for CR-1 visa and he scanned and send to me a copy of the certificate. I requested the translation service to translate from russian to english and certified the document. Is the certified and translated copy of this document will be accepted by NVC, or they need ONLY original version to be translated and certified. I am confused. Please help. Thank you for your time.

Check the Russian Embassy web-stie and see if there is information. It may not need to be translated at all. In the case of Japan, the police record is sealed and if it is opened prior to the interview, it is voided. With this in mind, I would expect Japan records to only be in Japanese and they dont request translation at all. Could be the same for Russia.
