Certified translation services

Need a trusted translation of your UK documents for use abroad? Our Certified Translation service ensures your documents are translated professionally and accepted by foreign authorities, embassies, universities, employers and other institutions worldwide.

What is a certified translation?

A certified translation is a translation produced by a qualified translator who confirms that the translation is a true and accurate representation of the original document. The translation is accompanied by a signed statement of accuracy, often on company letterhead, and includes the translator’s or agency’s contact details.

In countries where documents are submitted abroad, this certification significantly increases the chance the translation will be recognised.

If required – we can also provide:

  • Solicitor certification - the translator’s declaration is certified by a UK solicitor or notary for additional legal weight.
  • Full legalisation (Apostille) - after translation and certification, we can apostille the translation so it becomes legally valid under the Hague Convention.

When do you need a certified translation?

Certified (or sworn/notarised) translations are often required in these cases:

  • Submitting documents to foreign universities, governments, embassies, or consulates
  • Immigration, visa, or residency applications abroad
  • Employment abroad – presenting diplomas, birth certificates, marriage certificates
  • Legal procedures, contracts, powers of attorney, courts or official registrations in foreign countries
  • Any official use where authorities demand a legally valid translation rather than an informal one

If you are unsure whether your translation needs to be certified or legalised, we can advise based on the destination country and purpose.
