Tagalog Translation Services

DHCTranslations prepares certified English translations of Tagalog and Filipino records for clients across the UK, working from scans or clear photographs sent through the secure portal. PSA certificates, NBI clearances and university transcripts are all handled, and the finished PDF arrives with a signed certification page.

A single Philippine certificate starts from £40 per document, and longer files are priced from £0.09 per word after 400 words. Notarisation and apostille carry their own quote, since the notary and FCDO fees depend on the document. The Tagalog total is confirmed in writing before work begins. The £0.09 rate is for translation into English; English into Tagalog starts from £0.10 per word.

Same-day completion is available for most Tagalog documents when the order and cleared payment are confirmed before 4pm on a working day. Later confirmations, weekend orders and bank holidays roll to the next working day, and your quote shows the date.

Both are accepted, but PSA is the current issuing authority, having succeeded the NSO, and UK bodies usually ask for the security-paper version. Send whichever you hold; we translate the document you supply and name the issuing authority exactly as printed on it.

It is the Certificate of No Marriage Record from the PSA, showing that no marriage is registered in your name. UK spouse and fiancé visa applications often require it, and where a marriage has been recorded it is replaced by the PSA marriage certificate.

In the Philippines the middle name is the mother's maiden surname, not a second forename. We follow the passport spelling, keep the middle name in place, and add a translator's note explaining the convention so a UK caseworker does not read it as a name that has changed.

The clearance states its own issue date and validity, and UK bodies apply their own currency rules for visas, sponsorship and employment. Both dates are reproduced exactly, and if your application has a deadline, tell us and we will work to it.

Yes. Professional Regulation Commission licences, board ratings and registration cards are translated with the licence number, profession and validity dates intact, which is what the NMC needs alongside your transcript and diploma.

Yes, in practice. Filipino is the national language and is built on Tagalog, so official documents in either are handled the same way. We name the language as it appears on the document rather than substituting one label for the other.

Yes, but not the Philippine original: the FCDO will only legalise a document issued in the UK, or our translation once a UK notary has certified it. The London notarisation comes first, and both are quoted apart from the translation fee.
