Overview

About Home Office Translations

The Home Office, through UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI), processes visa, settlement, and citizenship applications for people coming to and staying in the United Kingdom. When a supporting document is in a foreign language, UKVI requires a full certified English translation submitted alongside the original.

We translate foreign birth, marriage, and divorce certificates, bank statements, TB test and police clearance certificates, employment letters, and academic records for spouse and partner visas, settlement and Indefinite Leave to Remain, citizenship and naturalisation, and student applications. Every translation carries a signed certification with the translator's name, date, and contact details, in the format UKVI accepts on first submission.

FAQ

Home Office Translations – Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Home Office require a specific type of certified translation?+

Yes. UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) requires a full certified translation of each foreign-language document, not a summary. Every translation must confirm that it is accurate, and show the date and the translator's full name and contact details. We provide certified translations in exactly this format.

Do I need to translate documents that are already in English?+

No. Documents issued in English can be submitted as-is. Only foreign-language documents require a certified English translation. Bilingual certificates with an official English section are usually accepted without a separate translation.

Which types of application do you cover?+

We translate documents for spouse and partner visas, settlement and Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), citizenship and naturalisation, student and Skilled Worker visas, and family reunion applications.

How quickly can you turn around a Home Office translation?+

Standard turnaround is two business days. A rush 24-hour service is available for urgent visa deadlines, biometric appointments, and application submission dates.
