What a certified Italian translation costs
Certified translations start at £40 per document: from £0.09 per word after the first 400 words into English, and from £0.10 per word for English into another language, with some pairs quoted higher.
Notarisation, where the receiving body asks for it, is quoted separately because it depends on the document and on notary availability.
FCDO apostille is available with our Express Service (usually 6-7 working days) or Urgent Service (usually 3-4 working days). Both are estimates: the real time depends on the document, the language pair and the level of certification, and is confirmed in your quote.

What comes with a certified Italian translation
An Italian order arrives with a signed statement of accuracy naming the translator, with their signature, the date and contact details.
What the certification includes
- Signed statement of accuracy: the translator's name, signature and date, their CIOL or ITI membership number, our company stamp and our contact details.
- Seals and signatures: registry stamps, notarial seals and handwritten entries reproduced wherever they fall on the page.
- Annotazioni: a note added in the margin of a civil-status certificate, recording a later marriage, a divorce or an acknowledgement, is translated. It is often the entry a UK body is looking for.
- PDF and post: the certified PDF is emailed at no extra cost; printed copies are optional, by first class or tracked post.

The Italian documents UK applicants send
Italian has one written standard, and the documents UK applicants send carry the name the municipal office gave them. The table on this page sets those names against the English, because a UK form asking for a birth certificate is answered by the Italian birth record.
Birth certificate
- On the document
- atto di nascita
Marriage certificate
- On the document
- atto di matrimonio
Household certificate
- On the document
- stato di famiglia
Criminal record
- On the document
- casellario giudiziale
Residence certificate
- On the document
- certificato di residenza
Degree certificate
- On the document
- certificato di laurea
These are the records a UK file usually needs, and the English name for each is the one a caseworker will recognise. The Italian name is on the right, so the copy you hold can be matched to the row.

Frequently asked questions
DHCTranslations translates Italian documents into certified English for UK visas, court files, universities and regulators. A qualified translator prepares each order, and it returns with a signed certification page, with same-day completion available when the order and cleared payment are confirmed before 4pm on a working day.
Italian documents are quoted from £40 per document, and files longer than 400 words are charged from £0.09 per word. Notarisation carries its own quote because the notary's charge varies between documents.
Most Italian certificates can be completed the same day when the order and cleared payment are confirmed before 4pm on a working day, and urgent visa or court files can be prioritised. Your quote confirms the delivery date before payment.
Yes. An Italian order carries a signed statement of accuracy with the translator's name and contact details, which is what the guidance asks to see. The decision on your application is the caseworker's, and independent translation is only one part of it. No UK body has sent an Italian translation of ours back over its certification.
The stato di famiglia is an Italian certificate listing everyone registered at one address. It is often requested alongside a birth certificate for family visas, and we translate every name, relationship and annotation on it.
They are the notes added in the margin of an Italian civil-status certificate to record a later marriage, divorce, name change or death. Caseworkers often need them, so we translate the notes as well as the main certificate.
Italian names keep their accents, and the same person can appear under slightly different renderings across a passport, certificate and transcript. We keep the same English spelling throughout your file.
Yes. The criminal record certificate issued by the Italian courts is the police clearance document, and we translate it in full, including the record number, the issuing office and any stamp.
No. Scans or photos of each page, including the reverse and any stamp, are enough; you keep the originals. You receive the certified English translation as a PDF.
Not the Italian original. The FCDO apostilles either a document issued in the UK or a translation we completed and had notarised, so we arrange the notarisation of our English version and the apostille goes on that. An Italian original is legalised in Italy.
Yes. Italian records are translated into English and certified for UK authorities, with a signed statement of accuracy, while companies can order the same text as standard translation without certification. Certificates, contracts and university papers are all handled, from £40 per document, or from £0.09 per word after 400 words.
Yes. English documents are translated into Italian for Italian companies, institutions and private clients, and certification is added when the receiving office asks for it and accepts UK certification. Brochures, agreements, manuals and personal papers are priced from £40 per document, and from £0.10 per word beyond 400 words.
