    UKVI & Home Office Certification Standards

    To meet Home Office evidentiary requirements, translations must be produced by a professional translator. Our standardised certification is fully compliant with UKVI and HM Passport Office guidelines.

    We have been providing translations for the Home Office for years and our certified translated documents have always been accepted.

    The Home Office in the U.K. deals with applications in regards to immigration, residence permits, passports and visas.

    They are supported by numerous public bodies and agencies which include the U.K. Border Force, the HM Passport Office, Immigration Enforcement and U.K. Visas and immigration.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Clear answers to common Home Office and UKVI translation requirements.

    What is a certified translation for the Home Office?

    A certified translation is an official document supplied with a signed statement of truth. It confirms the translation is accurate and complete, including the translator’s credentials (CIOL/ITI), signature, date, and contact details—all of which are mandatory for UKVI acceptance.

    Do I need to provide my original documents?

    No physical originals are required. A high-resolution scan or clear photo is sufficient for the translation process. We append a copy of your original document to the certified translation for the case worker’s review.

    How fast can I get a Home Office certified translation?

    Same Day turnaround is available. If you are facing a tight deadline for a visa application, we offer a same-day express service to ensure your certified PDFs are ready within hours.

    Are your translations accepted by the Home Office?

    Yes. We have a 100% acceptance rate. Our translations meet all specific requirements set out in the Home Office guidelines, including official stamps and authorised signatures.
