Frequently Asked Questions
A translation that includes: (1) a statement it’s an accurate translation of the original, (2) the date, (3) the translator’s full name & signature, and (4) the translator’s contact details—and can be independently verified by UKVI.
Usually no—UKVI requires a certified translation; notarisation is only if a specific authority asks for it.
No. Translations must be from an independent professional/agency and be verifiable by the Home Office.
All routes if your documents aren’t in English/Welsh (e.g., Skilled Worker, Student, ILR, Family). See GOV.UK route pages for the wording.
Full-page scans/photos, including stamps, seals and backs; we mirror layout so caseworkers can compare easily. (Caseworker guidance expects a full translation).
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.
