UKCertifiedTranslators.co.uk is a UK-based agency offering certified translation services in UK for every kind of official paper. Our human translators handle birth and marriage certificates, degrees and transcripts, bank statements, medical records, driving licences, court papers and police certificates. We also translate UK documents from English into 200+ other languages for foreign consulates, weddings abroad and overseas study.
Every certified translation comes with a signed, stamped and dated Certificate of Accuracy showing the translator's full name, credentials and UK contact details. Our work is accepted 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 universities, solicitors, banks and foreign embassies.
You need a certified translation any time a UK body asks to see a foreign-language document in English. That includes UKVI, HM Passport Office, the DVLA, ECCTIS, the NHS, family courts, universities, solicitors and banks. You also need one when a foreign consulate asks for your UK paper in their language. Below are the reasons people hire our certified translators in UK most often. We have handled these cases every working day for over ten years, so we know the exact wording each body wants to see.
Spouse, visitor, student, skilled worker and dependant visas all need certified English translations. UKVI checks four things: a statement that the translation is true and accurate, the date, the translator's full name and signature, and their contact details. Every UKVI certified translation we send includes all four, so your file is not held up or refused.
Applying for a first child passport or a renewal using a foreign birth or marriage certificate? HMPO will not accept Multilingual Standard Forms as a translation. We supply a full certified document translation with a signed statement of accuracy, and we post the wet-signed hard copy to you so it can go in your application pack.
Naturalisation, MN1 child registration, settled status and Indefinite Leave to Remain all need Home Office approved translation of birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees and residence records. Our translations are independently verifiable, which is exactly what the Home Office guidance asks for.
ECCTIS (once called UK NARIC), UCAS and UK universities ask for certified translation of degrees, diplomas, transcripts and school certificates. Our academic translations carry a stamped certificate of accuracy with translator credentials and a phone number, so ECCTIS can verify it while preparing your Statement of Comparability.
Swapping a foreign licence on a D1 form, or hiring a car in the USA, Italy, Iceland or Australia? We translate driving licences and entitlement certificates on company headed paper with our stamp and a declaration of accuracy. This is the format the DVLA and car hire firms ask for.
Joining a GP list, updating your NHS record or seeing a private consultant with notes from abroad? We translate discharge summaries, MRI and histology reports, blood results, prescriptions and sick notes. Medical translation is done by linguists who work with clinical terms daily, so your doctor reads a clear history.
To apply for divorce on the gov.uk service you must upload a certified English translation of your foreign marriage certificate. We also translate decrees, custody orders and consent orders for HMCTS. When a court asks the translator to verify the work personally, we provide a signed personal declaration, not a company statement.
UK courts and tribunals accept only certified legal translation. We handle court orders, affidavits, witness statements, powers of attorney, contracts and First-tier Tribunal bundles, including legal aid funded files. Each one arrives with a signed statement of truth so your solicitor can file it straight away.
UK Registry Offices need certified translation of birth certificates, divorce papers, single status certificates and foreign ID before they book your ceremony. Marrying in Spain, Mexico, Greece or Italy instead? We translate your UK birth certificate, decree absolute and ACRO certificate into the local language with sworn certification and apostille.
Buying a UK property with money from overseas? Solicitors and lenders run source of funds and anti-money-laundering checks that need certified financial translation of bank statements, gift letters, sale deeds, inheritance papers and notary attestations. Long statement bundles get a bulk project price instead of a per-page rate.
When a relative dies abroad, the Probate Registry and HMCTS need certified translation of the death certificate, foreign will, deed of notoriety, succession declaration and probate certificate. We prepare probate translations that registries in England and Wales accept, and arrange 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? These bodies want certified translation of qualifications, good standing certificates, experience letters, payslips and contracts, signed and stamped by an accredited translator. That is exactly what we issue.
Tell us who will receive your papers and we will match the certification to their published rules. UKVI, HM Passport Office, the DVLA, ECCTIS, the NHS, family courts, your solicitor or a foreign consulate. You get a free quote within one hour, a fixed price with no extras, and same-day certified translation when your deadline is tight.
Our certified translators cover more than 200 languages, into English and out of English. Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Italian are our busiest pairs. Rare pairs such as Somali, Dari, Sinhala, Tamil and Latin are covered too, along with regional variants like Brazilian and European Portuguese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
Not every application needs the same level of certification, and the wrong choice either costs you money or gets your file sent back. Below we set out the four options we offer, what each one involves, and the situations that call for it.
Signed, stamped and dated, with a full Certificate of Accuracy showing our UK company details and translator credentials. Covers visa, passport, licence, university, NHS and court submissions. Nine in ten orders need nothing more than this.
A UK notary checks our translator's identity and adds their own seal. Needed only when a bank, lender, land registry or overseas office asks for it in writing. We book the notary appointment on your behalf.
Notarised translation plus an FCDO apostille under the Hague Convention. Required when papers leave the UK for a wedding abroad, a consulate, an overseas bank or a foreign property sale. We run the whole FCDO and embassy route.
Produced by a translator sworn before a court or foreign ministry. Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Poland and Greece run their own sworn translator system and will not accept a UK certified translation on its own.
From a single birth certificate to a hundred-page bank bundle, we handle personal, academic, medical, legal and financial paperwork. Every job is priced upfront, proofread twice, and returned complete with stamps, seals and margin notes fully translated.
Ordering a certified translation online takes a few minutes. There is no office visit and nothing to post to us. The three steps below are the same process we have used on more than 350,000 documents, and one project manager stays with your file from quote to delivery.
Send a clear photo or scan through our form or WhatsApp. We accept PDF, JPG, PNG, HEIC, Word, ZIP and audio files. Tell us who the translation is for and your deadline. Also give us the spelling of every name as it appears in the passport, so the certified translation matches your other papers.
We reply within one hour with a fixed price and no hidden charges. We confirm whether you really need notarisation or legalisation, quote a bulk rate for long bank statement, payslip or medical bundles, and price an abridged version if only some sections need translating. Nothing starts until you approve.
A second linguist proofreads the work before it is signed off. You get a stamped PDF by email within 24 hours, or the same day for urgent biometric and passport deadlines. Hard copies go out first class or by tracked courier. We keep your file, so extra copies for a bank, the DVLA or HMRC cost far less.
Send your documents now and get them translated by trusted certified translators in the UK. Same-day service is there when your biometric appointment, court date or passport deadline is close. You get quick delivery, careful checking, full confidentiality and a translation that UK authorities accept. Your certified translation is only a few clicks away.

They show how our certified document translation follows the layout of the original, translates every stamp, seal and margin note, and finishes with a signed Certificate of Accuracy.
