We make certified translation simple. You upload your document – we translate it, certify it with a signed Statement of Truth, and deliver it ready for official use.
A certified translation is a complete, accurate translation of your document accompanied by a signed statement from the translator or translation company confirming that it is a true and faithful rendering of the original. In the UK this statement is usually called a Statement of Truth or Certificate of Accuracy, and it includes the translator's credentials, signature, date and contact details.
UK authorities do not operate a system of court-appointed “sworn” translators as some countries do. Instead, a certified translation from a professional translation company is the standard requirement. Our certifications meet the requirements set out by the Home Office and UK Visas & Immigration for official submissions.
A certified translation is required whenever an official body needs to read and rely on a foreign-language document. Common examples include visa and settlement applications, university admissions, UK ENIC statements of comparability, court proceedings, NHS records and employment checks. The receiving body needs confidence that the translation is complete and accurate, which is exactly what the certification provides.
A certified translation is different from a standard translation. A standard translation conveys meaning for business or personal use but carries no formal certification, so it is not accepted by official bodies. If your document is going to a government department, university, court or regulator, you need a certified translation.
If you are unsure whether the body you are dealing with will accept a certified translation, send us the details of your document and where it is going, and we will confirm exactly what you need before you order.
Official Translations provides certified translation services for individuals and businesses across the UK. Every certified translation is produced by a professional, qualified translator and accompanied by a signed Statement of Truth confirming it is a complete and accurate rendering of the original document. Our certifications are accepted by the Home Office, UK Visas & Immigration, universities, UK ENIC, courts, the NHS and employers.
Certified translations are most commonly needed for visa and immigration applications, university admissions, professional registration, legal proceedings and official record-keeping. Frequently translated documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, academic transcripts, diplomas, death certificates, divorce papers, police records and driving licences.
A certified translation differs from a standard translation. A standard translation communicates meaning for everyday business or personal use but is not accepted by official bodies, while a certified translation carries the formal certification those bodies require. Choosing the right service first time avoids delays and re-submissions.
We translate documents into 100+ languages. Whether you need a Spanish, Polish, Romanian, Arabic, Ukrainian, French or any other-language document certified for official use in the UK, our translators deliver accurate, professionally certified translations. For advice on your specific document and the body you are submitting it to, contact us with your details.
