Compliance note (for the careful reader)
The UK government specifies that certified translations submitted to the Home Office must include: a confirmation of accuracy, date, the translator’s full name and signature, and contact details for independent verification. We structure our certificates exactly this way.
The UK does not have a domestic “sworn translator” system; sworn translators are used in civil-law countries (e.g., Spain, Italy, France, Germany). We handle sworn requirements via in-country partners when your destination authority demands it.
