Translation Prices

£40 is the minimum fee per document at DHCTranslations. A single-page certificate costs £40 with the certified PDF included, longer documents are priced from £0.09 per word into English after the first 400 words, and text translated from English into another language starts at £0.10 per word.

£40 for a standard civil certificate such as a birth, marriage or police clearance certificate, with the certified PDF emailed at no extra cost. Translations from DHCTranslations have been accepted by UKVI and the Home Office, and longer documents such as bundles or transcripts are priced per word from the rates above.

Per document for single-page certificates, per word for longer material. A certificate is the £40 minimum; at DHCTranslations a transcript, contract or report is priced from £0.09 or £0.10 per word depending on direction, and a quote costs nothing.

Priority work is priced individually rather than by a fixed percentage, because the surcharge depends on the service, the language pair and the deadline. Same-day completion applies when the order and cleared payment are confirmed before 4pm on a working day, and anything confirmed later, or on a weekend or bank holiday, rolls to the next working day.

Yes. The signed statement of accuracy, the translator's name, signature and date, their CIOL or ITI membership number, our company stamp and our contact details are all included in the price, along with the certified PDF.

The language pair, the length of the document, how much of it is tabular or heavily formatted, and the level of certification. Notarisation and the FCDO apostille sit outside the translation price, are quoted separately and are never automatic.

Large and repeat orders are quoted individually by DHCTranslations rather than against a published rate card, because the work varies. The figure is fixed in writing before you pay and does not change afterwards.

UK first class from £7 and UK Special Delivery, tracked, from £18, per order. Printed copies are optional, the price varies with weight, page count and destination, overseas delivery is quoted per country, and the certified PDF emailed to you costs nothing extra.

No. Both are separate stages quoted separately, arranged through a notary law firm with its head office in London, and the FCDO legalises only a UK-issued document or our own notarised translation, so each line is itemised before you commit.

Send a clear scan or photograph through the quote form and DHCTranslations confirms the price in writing before you pay. If the document is unusual, say what it is in the message and we will tell you what we need to price it.
