UKCertifiedTranslators.co.uk is a UK-based agency offering certified translation services in UK for every kind of official paper. Our professional translators handle birth and marriage certificates, degrees and transcripts, bank statements, medical records, driving licences, court papers and police certificates. For firms we also cover legal, medical, technical, financial, business, marketing and website translation. We also work from English into 200+ other languages for embassies abroad, weddings abroad and overseas study. Every job is done by a trained person, never by a machine.
Every certified translation is signed, stamped and dated, with a full accuracy page naming the linguist, listing their credentials and giving our UK contact details. Our work is taken by the Home Office and UKVI, HM Passport Office, HM Courts & Tribunals, the DVLA, ECCTIS (UK ENIC), the NHS, Student Finance England, HM Land Registry, the Probate Registry, UK colleges, solicitors, banks and embassies. This is official document translation you can send in with confidence.
Any UK office that reads your file will want a foreign paper in English first. The same works the other way when an embassy abroad asks for your British record in their language. Below are the jobs people bring us most weeks. We have done them daily for over ten years, so we know what each reader expects to see.
Spouse, visitor, student and skilled worker files all need English copies. Caseworkers look for four things: a line saying the wording is true and correct, the date, the linguist's name and signature, and contact details. Our UKVI certified translation carries all four, so nothing gets sent back.
Applying for a first child passport or a renewal using a foreign birth or marriage certificate? HMPO will not take a Multilingual Standard Form in place of real work. Our passport translation gives the full text with a signed accuracy page, then we post the wet-signed copy so it goes straight in with your form.
Naturalisation, MN1, settled status and Indefinite Leave to Remain all need English copies of birth, marriage and divorce records. Our immigration translation services are set out so any caseworker can check them, which is what the rules ask for.
ECCTIS, UCAS and admissions staff want your degree and marks in English. Our degree certificate translation and transcript translation services keep grade tables in place, with a stamped accuracy page and a phone number the assessor can ring to check.
Swapping a foreign licence on a D1 form, or hiring a car in the USA, Italy or Australia? Our driving license translation goes on headed paper with a stamp and a short accuracy note. That is the layout the DVLA and hire desks look for.
Joining a GP list or seeing a consultant with notes from abroad? Our medical translation services cover hospital letters, scan reports, blood results, prescriptions and sick notes. Healthcare translation is handled by people who read clinical words every day, so your doctor gets a clear history.
The gov.uk divorce service asks you to upload your marriage record in English. We also do divorce certificate translation, custody rulings and consent orders. When a judge wants the linguist to confirm the work in person, we add a signed personal note rather than a company line.
Courts here only take work signed off by a trained legal linguist. Our legal translation services cover orders, affidavits, witness statements, contracts and tribunal bundles, legal aid included. Each legal document translation arrives with a signed statement of truth, ready to file.
Registry Offices want birth, divorce and single status papers in English before they book a date. Our marriage certificate translation is also used for name changes at the bank and the DVLA. Marrying in Spain or Italy? We work the other way too, sworn and apostilled.
Buying a UK property with money from overseas? Buying here with money from abroad? Solicitors run source of funds checks. Our financial translation services cover bank statement translation, gift letters, sale deeds and notary papers. Long bundles are priced as one job, not page by page.
When a relative dies abroad, the Probate Registry wants the death record, foreign will, deed of notoriety and grant in English. We prepare these to the standard registries in England and Wales accept, and add an apostille when the estate is settled overseas.
Registering with the NMC, GMC, GPhC, HCPC or Ofsted, or applying for a CSCS card, Civil Service role or Armed Forces post? The NMC, GMC, GPhC and HCPC want your qualifications, good standing letters, payslips and contracts in English, signed and stamped. We also handle contract translation services and staff papers for employers.
Tell us who will read your papers and we match the wording to their rules. It might be a government office, a court, a college, a lender or an embassy. You get a free price within the hour and no extras later. Looking for certified translation near me? We work online right across the UK.
Our professional translators cover more than 200 languages, into English and out of it. Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Italian are the busiest. Rare pairs such as Somali, Dari, Sinhala, Tamil and Latin are covered too, plus Brazilian and European Portuguese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
Not every application needs the same level, and the wrong pick either costs money or gets your file sent back. Below are the four options we run: certified, notarised, legalised and sworn. Each box says what it is and when you actually need it.
Signed, stamped and dated, with a full accuracy page holding our UK company details and the linguist's credentials. This covers visa, passport, licence, college, hospital and court files. Nine out of ten orders need nothing more.
A UK notary checks who our linguist is and adds a seal. Notary translation services are needed only when a bank, lender, land registry or foreign office asks in writing. We book the appointment for you.
Notarised work plus an FCDO apostille under the Hague Convention. Apostille translation is required when papers leave the UK for a wedding abroad, an embassy, an overseas bank or a property sale. We run the whole route.
Made by a linguist sworn before a court or ministry abroad. Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Poland and Greece run their own system and will not take a UK copy. Our sworn translation services cover all of them.
From one birth record to a hundred-page bank file, we cover personal papers plus legal, medical, technical, financial, marketing and website translation for firms. Every job is priced first, read twice, and returned with all stamps and seals put into English.
Ordering online takes a few minutes. No office visit, nothing posted to us. These three steps are the same route we have used on more than 350,000 files, and one manager stays with yours from price to delivery.
Send a clear photo or scan by form or WhatsApp. PDF, JPG, PNG, HEIC, Word, ZIP and audio all work. Tell us your deadline, who will read it, and how each name is spelt in your passport so everything matches.
You get a fixed certified translation price within the hour. We say whether notarisation is really needed, give a bundle rate on long statement, payslip and medical sets, and quote a shorter version if only parts matter. Nothing starts until you say yes.
A second linguist reads it before sign-off. Your stamped PDF lands within 24 hours, or the same day when a biometric or passport date is close. Paper goes first class or tracked. We keep the file, so later copies cost far less.
Send your papers now and let a trained UK linguist handle them. Same day translation is there when a biometric slot, court date or passport deadline is close. You get fast delivery, careful checking, full privacy and work that holds up.
These are pages from real jobs, with personal details removed. They show how we follow the layout of the original, carry over every stamp, seal and margin note, and finish with a signed accuracy page. This is what certified document translation should look like. Look through birth certificates, marriage papers, driving licences, bank statements, degrees and sworn translations out of English, then judge the quality for yourself.
These reviews come from people who used us for passports, spouse and student visas, ECCTIS degree checks, licence swaps, family court files and mortgage source of funds checks. They come from London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow and Wolverhampton, and none of them are edited.
Get fast, careful work from trained UK linguists. Visa, passport, court case, degree check, licence swap, hospital treatment, mortgage checks or an embassy abroad, we do all of it. Searching for a translation agency near me? Upload your file and take one job off your list.
