London has more embassies, courts and government offices than the rest of Britain put together. Each one wants your foreign paper in English before they will look at it. We translate birth and marriage records, bank statements, degrees, medical notes, driving licences, police certificates and court papers for people all over the city.
Every job is signed, stamped and dated. It also carries a page with the translator's name and our UK phone number on it. Caseworkers in Croydon, HM Passport Office, the courts, borough registrars, the universities and the embassies all take it as it is.
Most single certificates cost £25 to £45. The price depends on the language, how many pages you have, how many stamps are on them, and how fast you need it. Send us the document and we will send you one price within the hour. That price does not change later.
Getting a paper translated is easy. Getting it accepted is where people lose weeks. If an office has sent your file back, the English was probably fine. It is usually a stamp nobody translated, a note on the back nobody photographed, or a name spelt two ways. Our certified translation services UK team stops all three.
London moves fast. A biometric slot comes up with three days' notice. A consulate opens two mornings a week. A court date will not move for anyone. So tell us the office, the postcode and the day you need it. You get a straight answer before you pay, not an apology after.
Plenty of work goes the other way too. You may need a British paper in another language for a consulate here. Portuguese, Italian, Polish and Ukrainian offices all ask for this. Some want it sworn and stamped as well. We handle that whole route in one order.
If an office in London has asked you for a paper in English, we have almost certainly done it before. Here are the ones people send us most, and what the reader is looking for on each.
Three steps, all online. No office to visit, nothing to post, and one person on your file from the first message to the last.
Take a photo of every page, front and back. Include any stamp or note added later. Tell us which London office will read it and when you need it. Also tell us how each name is spelt on the passport. Two spellings on two papers is what sends files back.
You get one price within the hour, and the stamp and signed page are already in it. Most single pages cost £25 to £45. The language, the length and your deadline move that number. Papers going into the same application are priced together as one job.
A second translator reads the work against your photos before we sign it. The stamped PDF reaches you within 24 hours, and faster if your date is close. A signed paper copy goes by post to any London address.

London speaks more languages than any city in Europe. Polish, Romanian, Bengali, Arabic and Spanish come in most. Somali, Lithuanian, Tamil and Twi are close behind. Rare languages are normal work here, not a problem.
People come to us when something important is at stake. Here are the reasons Londoners get in touch, and what the person reading your file is checking.
Croydon reads thousands of files a week. It sends back anything it cannot check. Our page has the four things they look for: what it says, the date, a real name and a number they can ring.
Nearly every embassy in Britain is in London. Each has its own rules about who may sign. We put British papers into their language and get them stamped where that country asks for it.
London courts work in English only. Sometimes a judge wants the translator to sign in person. We arrange that through our legal translation services.
London universities want your degree in English before an offer is firm. ECCTIS wants the same before it writes a report. Clearing deadlines do not move.
Marriage papers and birth records are the most personal things people send us. One translator opens your file and nobody else does.
London solicitors run tight checks. Statements, gift letters and foreign deeds all have to be readable before a sale date will hold.
Deadlines here do not stretch. Two translators read every file before it goes out. If an office asks us to change something, we fix it and send it again for free. Money papers for a solicitor go through our financial translation services in the same order.
People a day away from a biometric slot. Parents waiting on a first passport. Solicitors filing before four o'clock. Their words are printed here exactly as they sent them, from every part of the city.
