How it works when there is no office to visit
Translations are produced from scanned pages and delivered as PDFs, so your address does not change the price, the turnaround or the certification. Where an original or a printed copy has to move, it goes by tracked post in both directions.
How a remote order works
-
Upload or email: send scans or photographs of every page, and say who will receive the finished translation.
-
Quote and payment: a fixed price and a delivery date come back, usually within the hour on a working day, and nothing is charged until you approve.
-
Checked before delivery: a second linguist reviews the file and the certification page is added with the translator's details.
-
Delivery: the certified PDF arrives by email, and tracked printed pages can follow to any UK address you choose.
Where our clients are
For us, local means the office that issued your document and the address you want printed copies sent to.

-

Frequently asked questions
DHCTranslations prepares certified translations for clients across the UK, working from scans uploaded securely or sent by email. There is no branch to visit: the quote, the translation and the certified PDF are all handled remotely, and printed copies are posted when the receiving office asks for paper.
No. Work is handled by upload, email and tracked post, which is why there are no travel costs in the price and why an order placed in the evening can be ready the next working day. Where a document has to be handed over physically, it is sent by tracked post to our office and returned the same way.
From £40 per document. Longer files are charged from £0.09 per word into English, and English into another language from £0.10 per word. Notarisation or an apostille is quoted separately when the receiving body asks for one.
Short documents are often finished the same day when the order and cleared payment arrive before 4pm on a working day. Later confirmations and weekend orders start on the next working day, and tracked post adds delivery time after the translation is finished.
Yes, although scans are quicker and avoid the risk of an original going astray. Use tracked delivery, tell us it is on its way, and the originals are returned by the same method once the work is checked.
108 have a page of their own, listed by region on the locations index, and each names the courts or register office local filings usually go to. Anywhere without a page is still covered at the same price, because nothing depends on a local branch.
No. The price depends on the language pair, the length of the document and the certification required, not on the translator's location. A firm charging extra for local convenience is covering its premises, which is not a cost here.
Yes, if the translation meets the requirement that office sets. UK bodies accept certified translations and none keeps a register of approved firms. What can be checked is the signed certification, the translator's details and the issuing office named correctly; the wording your council or court gave you is the best guide.
No. Collection would need an office network, and that cost would end up in the price. For a bundle from a solicitor, a tracked courier both ways is arranged and quoted with the job.
Yes. English documents are translated into Welsh, European and Asian languages for authorities and employers abroad, with the same checking step as work into English. For work from English into another language the rate starts at £0.10 per word after the first 400 words.
Yes, and the process is the same: send a scan, receive the certified PDF, and add notarisation or an FCDO apostille if the country receiving it requires one. The apostille is issued in the UK, so the FCDO sets that timeline.
Upload the pages through the quote form or email them, and say what the document is for and who will receive it. A fixed price and a delivery date come back, usually within the hour on a working day, and nothing is charged until you approve.
DHCTranslations handles official documents for clients anywhere in the UK without an office visit: upload a scan, say what the document is for, and the certified translation comes back as a signed PDF from £40 per document. Courts, councils, the Home Office and universities receive the same certification, and printed copies can be posted.
