## Certified Translator in Birmingham

- A certified translator in Birmingham is a professional translator who signs a statement that the translation is accurate, with the date, their contact details and credentials, for UK Visas and Immigration, the courts, universities and the register office. You do not need to visit an office: we translate online and send the certified translation by email.

## Certified translations for Birmingham, signed by professional translators

- A translator native in the target language, and a second translator checking every page
- Roxo is a Corporate Member of the American Translators Association (ATA)
- The translator’s credentials on the certificate, as the Home Office asks for ILR

## Do you need a translator based in Birmingham?

- No. The Home Office asks for a translation it can verify, signed by a professional translator or a translation company, and it does not ask for a translator in Birmingham or anywhere in the UK. It does not approve or list translators either, so be wary of anyone who promises a ‘Home Office approved translator’.
- Birmingham also trains translators: the University of Birmingham’s Department of Modern Languages runs an MA in Translation Studies, on campus and by distance learning, with training in translation memory and post-editing tools.
- Translation qualifications and membership of a professional association are a sign of quality, but the Immigration Rules do not require them. Our credential is membership of the American Translators Association (ATA).

## When an office in Birmingham asks for a notary

- In England, notaries public are appointed and regulated through the Faculty Office of the Archbishop of Canterbury, acting for the Master of the Faculties, who makes the rules that govern the profession.
- The Home Office does not ask for a notary. A notarised translation is usually requested for documents going abroad, or by an organisation with a rule of its own. Our statement of accuracy is signed before a notary public in Florida, USA, at no extra cost; if an office in Birmingham asks for a notary in the UK, check with them before you order.

## How to choose a certified translator in Birmingham

- Whether the translator works in Birmingham or online, check that:

- The certificate has the date, the statement of accuracy, the translator’s or company’s name, signature and contact details, and the credentials
- The translator is native in the target language and a second person reviews the translation
- You can see the price and the delivery date before you pay
- Nobody in your family translates the documents, and neither do you
