Document Translation Services
A certified translation is more than a translation: the receiving authority needs to see who translated it, when, and that the content is a true rendering of the original. Every document we handle is translated by a qualified human translator and issued with our certification page, so it can be submitted to UKVI, HMCTS, councils, universities and professional regulators without a follow-up request.
What Every Certified Document Translation Includes
-
Certification Page: Company details, translator name, signature, date and a statement that the translation is accurate and complete.
-
Translator Credentials: Qualifications and membership details for the linguist who completed the work.
-
Layout & Stamps: Original layout, seals, stamps and handwritten notes translated where they carry wording.
-
Statement of Truth: Added as an additional layer when the document is filed with HM Courts & Tribunals Service.
Not Sure Which Service You Need?
The document type and the receiving body decide which service applies, and the quote names the certification the authority asks for before you pay.
-
Check the Requirement: Ask the receiving body whether it needs certification, notarisation or an Apostille.
-
Send a Photo: A clear photo of the first page is enough for us to confirm the service and the price.
-
One Fixed Quote: Price, turnaround and delivery format confirmed before the work starts.

Certified document translation starts at £40 per document for standard certificates such as birth, marriage and police check records, delivered as a certified PDF. Longer documents are priced per word after 400 words, and notarisation is quoted separately because it depends on the document and notary availability.
