What is an official translation?

A certified translation is a professional translation of a document (such as a birth certificate, declaration, or passport) performed by a certified translator. To certify your translation, the translator must certify that it is a true, complete, and accurate translation of the original document you submitted. An official translation must be stamped, dated, and signed by the translator and/or a legal authority.

A “certified” translation is one that is stamped and signed by a recognized authority, professional translator, or registered translation agency. The type of official verification a translated document may require depends on where you are applying, the agency requesting it, and its purpose.

Certified Translation
A certified translation is a translation of a document for legal or government use, such as a birth or marriage certificate, a visa application, a bank statement, or an academic paper.

To certify a translation, the professional translator (or a recognized translation agency) must provide a signed and stamped statement of truth that it is a true and accurate representation of the original document you provided.

Notarized Translation
A notarized translation is simply a translation that is accompanied by a notarized signature verifying the identity of the translator. This must be done in the presence of a lawyer or recognized notary public.

Sworn Translation
A translation is considered "sworn" if it is produced by a professional translator who has sworn a formal oath in court. This type of certification is usually required for use outside the EU-UK.

Apostille Translation
A certified or Apostille translation has been "legalized" by a government department. This will make your translation acceptable in member countries of the Hague Convention. The translation will be accompanied by an official Apostille.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of files are acceptable?
You may send us a Microsoft Word (doc or docx), PDF (scanned or editable) or Picture (JPG or PNG) file. All text, signature and stamps within the document should be clearly visible. You may upload one or more files when you order.

How are translations certified?
For certified translations into English, we produce the translation on company letterhead, with a certification cover page, attesting that it is a true and accurate translation of the original. This includes our stamp, signature and contact details.

Will your certified translation be accepted?
Within the UK, and as members of the Association of Translation Companies, our certified translations are accepted by the Home Office, Passport Office, UK Visas, USCIS and Universities. We also provide Sworn, Notarised and Legalised translations that meet the requirements of embassies and foreign authorities.

When will I receive my translation?
The standard turnaround time for certified translations is 48 hours. If you require it sooner, select the Urgent or Same Day option when ordering, and we will aim deliver within 12 - 24 hours or sooner. Requests for postage, notarisation or legalisation may take longer.

Do you certify translations for passport and visa applications?
Yes we do. The majority of certified translations we produce are for clients applying for a visa, naturalisation, passports or for academic reasons. Therefore we take extra precaution to make sure they will be accepted.

How will my certified translations be delivered?
The default delivery method is as a PDF file sent to you by email. This can be printed off and used in your application. You may also order the physical copy, which is printed and posted within 24 - 48 hours.

Where are your translators based?
We recruit and work with translators globally. For translations from English, we may work with translators based in those countries, or in others. All translators sign our NDA and agree to our terms to treat your information securely and fairly.

I have been asked to obtain a sworn translation
Sworn translations are required for official translations into French, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Czech Republic and some other countries. For these languages, we only use authorised & sworn translators in those countries. Additional fees apply.

I have been asked to obtain a notarised translation
We can provide Notarised translations that meet the requirements of Foreign Embassies or Authorities. Our translations are notarised by a Notary Public, then posted to you. Notaries charge per document, so we will inform you of any additional fees if you upload more than one document.

I have been asked to obtain a Legalised translation
Legalised translations demonstrate to the Foreign Embassy or Authority that the translation has been certified by a Notary Public, who is in turn known to the UK Foreign Office. We can provide same day or standard legalisation services to accompany your translation request.
