Immigration document checks
Small document details can affect the clarity of an application.
Immigration evidence may refer to the same person, relationship, address or financial transaction across several documents. Consistent spelling and clear treatment of dates and numbers are therefore important.
Applicants should review the completed translation against their passport spellings and application details before submission.
Names and transliteration
Supplied passport spellings and previous approved versions can be followed where provided.
Dates and numbering
Date formats, document numbers, financial figures and references are checked carefully.
Stamps and annotations
Visible official seals, stamps, handwriting and unclear text are handled transparently.
Certification information
The required accuracy, date, identity and contact details are presented clearly.
Immigration translation pricing

Use the current instructions for your application or obtain advice from an appropriately authorised immigration adviser where needed.
Frequently asked questions
Immigration translation questions
Send the complete documents when you need help with language coverage, certification, formatting, price or delivery.
Ask about your documentsDo visa documents need to be translated into English?
Documents that are not in English or Welsh generally need to be accompanied by a certified translation when they are submitted as evidence for a UK visa application. Follow the instructions for your specific application route.
What must an immigration translation certificate include?
Current general guidance commonly requires confirmation that the translation is accurate, the date of translation, the translator’s full name and signature, and contact details. Some routes may request additional credentials or information.
Does the translation need to cover the complete document?
The translation should cover the complete relevant document, including visible headings, entries, stamps, seals, annotations and reverse-side content where applicable.
Can I translate my own immigration documents?
Immigration guidance may require a certified translation that can be independently verified. Using a professional translator or translation company avoids relying on an applicant’s own uncertified translation.
Do I need a “UKVI-approved” translator?
UK guidance focuses on the content and verifiability of the certification rather than describing one universal list of “UKVI-approved” translators. Follow any specific wording supplied for your application.
Can you follow the spelling used in my passport?
Yes. Supply a clear copy of the passport identification page or provide the exact spelling that should be followed. Differences between the source document and requested spelling should not be concealed.
Can bank statements and payslips be translated?
Yes. Financial evidence can be translated with attention to account details, transaction descriptions, dates, currencies, totals and recurring employment information.
Can several documents be translated as one order?
Yes. Submitting connected documents together can support consistency across names, addresses, employers, family relationships and repeated official terminology.
Will a certified translation guarantee visa acceptance?
No translation provider can guarantee an immigration decision. The translation is one part of the supporting evidence, and the relevant authority assesses the complete application.
Do immigration translations need notarisation?
Standard UK immigration submissions commonly request certified translation rather than automatic notarisation. Arrange a notary, sworn translator or apostille only when the receiving authority’s instructions require that additional step.
How much does immigration document translation cost?
The price depends on the language pair, amount of source content, document complexity, certification requirements, delivery format and deadline. A fixed quotation is confirmed after reviewing the files.
How long does immigration translation take?
Delivery depends on the language, document count, word volume, legibility and certification requirements. The completion date is confirmed before the order proceeds.
Can urgent immigration translation be arranged?
Urgent handling may be available depending on the language, document length, file quality and linguist availability. Send all documents and your submission deadline for review.
