A certified translation includes a signed statement from the translator confirming that the translation is accurate and complete. This is sufficient for most official purposes in the UK, including Home Office, UKVI, and court submissions. A notarised translation goes a step further — a notary public verifies the translator's signature and credentials. Notarisation is occasionally required for use in certain foreign jurisdictions or for specific legal documents. We can advise which type you need based on your situation.
