Send us the document and tell us where it will be used. We translate the complete file, prepare the certification statement and help you choose the correct route when the receiving organisation asks for certified, notarised, sworn or legalised translation.
Certification is not one-size-fits-all. Tell us who will receive the translation so the document can be prepared around the instructions you have been given.
For many UK uses, a certified translation is the translated document accompanied by a signed statement confirming that the translation is complete and accurate. The exact wording or supporting formalities can depend on the organisation receiving it.
The important part is not simply adding the word “certified”. We work from the document itself and the instructions you provide, then prepare a translation package that is clear, traceable and suitable for review by the receiving organisation.
Names, dates, headings, tables, stamps, seals and other relevant visible content are handled as part of the document rather than treated as isolated text.
The final certified copy includes the statement and identification details needed to show who prepared and certified the translation.
If you tell us whether the document is for immigration, a court, a university, an employer, a bank or an overseas authority, we can flag when a different certification route may be relevant.
Certified translations can be supplied electronically, with a printed copy available where the receiving body asks for one.
These terms describe different processes. The right option depends on the country, authority and purpose of the document.
A translated document with a signed statement confirming completeness and accuracy for the intended submission.
Used when the receiving organisation requests a notarial act, witnessed declaration or another specific form of authentication.
Relevant when a document is being used abroad and the authority requires legalisation in addition to translation.
Some countries use sworn translators or locally regulated certification systems. Requirements depend on the destination country.
We handle documents that need to be read alongside their original format and submitted to another organisation, authority or professional body.
Birth, marriage and divorce certificates, passports, ID documents, driving licences and related personal records.
Personal, employment, financial, academic and supporting documents used in visa, settlement and citizenship applications.
Transcripts, diplomas, degree certificates, school records and supporting education documents.
Court documents, witness statements, agreements, powers of attorney, affidavits and legal correspondence.
Bank statements, payslips, tax records, company accounts and other financial evidence.
Medical letters, reports, certificates, records and supporting healthcare documentation.
A clear source file is only part of the brief. The destination and intended use matter too.
Upload a clear scan or photograph showing every page that needs translation. If the document has stamps, annotations or reverse-side text, include those pages too.
Share the authority, organisation or country where the translation will be used, plus any instructions you have received about certification, notarisation or legalisation.
We review the document, language pair and submission requirement, then confirm the price, delivery format and appropriate translation route.
Check the receiving organisation’s instructions whenever they provide them. We can prepare the translation around those instructions rather than assuming every authority uses the same format.
Tell us which application the document supports and include any wording or document instructions supplied with the application.
Identity and civil-status documents should be translated consistently, with names, dates and document details handled carefully.
Academic records may need certification together with clear reproduction of subjects, grades, dates and institutional details.
Legal matters can require specific terminology, file references and certification wording. Send any case-specific instructions with the document.
Corporate and financial documents often need precise names, figures, dates and document structure preserved for review.
When a document is going abroad, confirm whether the receiving country asks for sworn translation, notarisation, apostille or another legalisation step.
Send us the file and the receiving requirements you have been given. We will review the document first and confirm the translation scope, price and certification format before work starts.
Send the document and the instructions from the receiving organisation. We can review the requirement before you place the order.
Ask our team →Please send the complete document, source and target language, where the translation will be used, your deadline and any certification instructions supplied by the receiving organisation.
For many UK purposes, the translation is accompanied by a signed statement confirming that it is complete and accurate, together with identifying and contact details. The receiving organisation may set additional requirements.
No. A certified translation and a notarised translation are different processes. Notarisation involves a notarial act and should only be added when the receiving body requires it.
The UK does not use one universal sworn-translator system for every submission. Sworn translation is more commonly a destination-country requirement, so the correct route depends on where the document will be used.
Yes, we handle certified translations of immigration, academic and other official documents. Send the receiving requirements with the file so the translation can be prepared for the intended use.
Yes. A digital certified PDF can be supplied by email, and a printed copy can be arranged when the receiving organisation requires one.
