Probate & estate matters
A translated death registration document may be requested during inheritance or estate administration. Check the instructions from the solicitor, probate authority or other organisation involved.
Pensions, insurance & records
Translations of registered names, dates, registration references, issuing authorities and official notes for the specific organisation reviewing the record.
International & legal use
Some overseas authorities request notarisation, legalisation or an apostille in addition to translation. Requirements depend on the destination; tell us what you have been asked to provide.
Requirements vary. Share any instructions from the receiving authority before ordering.
Names, dates.
Official details.
Death certificates differ by country and registry. We keep the English wording clear and faithful to the original, including any readable official annotations.
- Registered names and personal details
- Dates, places and registration references

Before you order
Upload all sides and pages. Let us know the document language, issuing country and who will receive the translation, such as a probate solicitor, pension provider or overseas registrar.

What is included in a certified death certificate translation?
We translate the visible details of the source certificate, including names, dates, registration details, issuing authority, stamps and notes where legible. The completed translation includes a dated, signed statement of accuracy and provider contact details.
How much does death certificate translation cost?
Standard certified translations for visa, immigration and general use start from £15.45 per page. Court, divorce and legal proceedings translations cost £41.45 per page. The final price depends on the pages, language, legibility, delivery options and any additional certification required.
Can a translated death certificate be used for probate or inheritance?
A certified translation may help a probate solicitor, estate administrator or overseas authority review a foreign-language death record. The receiving organisation decides whether it is acceptable and whether it also needs an original, apostille or other documents.
Do I need notarisation or an apostille?
Not always. Some authorities accept a certified translation, while others require additional notarisation or legalisation. Confirm the destination country and authority’s current instructions before ordering optional services.
How long does death certificate translation take?
Suitable short and legible certificates are typically completed within 1–2 working days. Urgent or multi-page work is subject to language and document review, and availability is confirmed with the quote.
Can I upload a photograph or scan of a death certificate?
Yes, if it is complete and legible. Include every page and the reverse where there are entries. Avoid cropping registration numbers, seals, names, dates or annotations. The receiving authority separately determines whether original documents are needed.
Can you correct a name or date on the original record?
No. A translation must represent the information shown in the source. If there is a discrepancy in the original registration, ask the issuing authority about correction procedures; do not ask a translator to silently alter it.
Do you issue replacement death certificates?
No. CVT translates death certificates and other existing documents; it does not create replacement civil-registry records or independently verify that the original certificate is authentic.
