Frequently Asked Questions
A signed statement of accuracy, the date, the translator’s full name and signature, and contact details so the translation can be independently verified by the Home Office.
Usually no—a certified translation is sufficient for UKVI/Home Office submissions. Notarisation/legalisation may be required by overseas authorities; we’ll advise if your case needs it.
You shouldn’t. UK guidance requires a translation that can be independently verified, with a third-party translator’s statement and contact details—self-translation will not meet this standard.
For standard certificates, we routinely deliver same day/24 hours. Complex scripts, handwriting, or multi-page booklets may take longer. Ask for express if you’re on a deadline.
Our certified translations are produced to UKVI/Home Office requirements for independent verification and are widely used for UK immigration, passport, and legal purposes. Always check any extra local demands (e.g., notarisation) if submitting outside the UK.
