Questions
Certified translation: common questions
- What is a certified translation?
- A certified translation is a complete translation of a document together with the translator's written confirmation that it is a true and accurate translation of the original, the date, and the translator's full name and contact details. UK authorities ask for one whenever a document is not in English or Welsh.
- Is a certified translation accepted by the Home Office?
- Home Office guidance asks for a full translation that it can verify independently, containing the translator's confirmation of accuracy, the date, the translator's full name and signature, and contact details. Our certified translations carry all four.
- How much does a certified translation cost in the UK?
- Standard single documents such as a birth certificate or a driving licence start from £30. Longer documents are priced by word count. You receive the exact price by email before you pay.
- How long does a certified translation take?
- You receive a quote by email, usually within 30 minutes during business hours, and it states the delivery time for your document. Single-page documents are generally delivered within 24 hours.
- Do I need to send my original documents?
- No. A clear photo or scan is enough. The translation is delivered as a PDF by email, ready to upload to an online application or to print.
- Do I need a sworn or notarised translation in the UK?
- No. The UK has no sworn translators, and UK authorities ask for certified translations. Notarisation or an apostille is only needed when an authority in another country asks for it.
