## Certified Translation in the UK

- Certified translation in the UK is a full translation of your document with a signed statement confirming that it is accurate, the date, the contact details of the translator or the translation company and the translator’s credentials. It is what the Home Office, UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI), courts, universities and banks ask for when a document is not in English.

## One translation for visas, settlement and citizenship

- Statement of accuracy signed and dated, with the translator’s credentials
- Notarisation by a notary public included, at no extra cost
- Free revisions for 60 days after delivery

## What the Home Office asks a certified translation to include

- The Immigration Rules (paragraph 39B) and the evidence rules for family visas (Appendix FM-SE) ask every translation to come with the original document and to include:

- Confirmation that it is an accurate translation of the original
- The date of the translation
- The full name and signature of the translator or of an authorised official of the translation company
- The contact details of the translator or of the company
- For leave to remain and indefinite leave to remain (ILR), certification by a qualified translator, with their credentials

## Our certificate covers all five points

- Every certified translation we deliver for the UK includes the five points above, so the same translation serves an application made from abroad, an extension inside the UK, settlement and British citizenship. You cannot translate your own documents, and neither can a relative: the Home Office has to be able to verify the translation independently.

## Certified, notarised, sworn or legalised?

- Certified translation: the translator or the company signs the statement of accuracy. It is the standard for the Home Office, HM Passport Office, the DVLA and most universities and employers.
- Notarised translation: a notary public confirms who signed the statement. Our statement is signed before a notary public in Florida, USA, at no extra cost (see notarised translation). If a UK organisation asks for a notary or a solicitor in the UK, check with them before you order.
- Sworn and legalised translation: in the UK, a sworn translation is a statement sworn before a solicitor or a notary, and a legalised one also carries an apostille from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) for use abroad. The Home Office asks for neither.

## Documents we translate for use in the UK

- We translate from and into more than 30 languages, and these are the documents UK applicants send us most often:

- Birth, marriage, divorce and death certificates, for visas, settlement and citizenship
- Driving licences, for exchanging a foreign licence with the DVLA
- Degree certificates and transcripts, for universities and for a statement from Ecctis (formerly UK NARIC)
- Police certificates, bank statements and payslips, for visa and financial evidence

## How to order your certified translation

- Upload your documents and you will see the price and the delivery date in the instant quote, before you pay.

Prices are on our pricing page.

## Who signs the translation

- Every translation is done by a professional translator. To know who they are and what the Home Office means by a qualified translator, see our certified translator in the UK page.
