What is a Certified Translation in the UK?

In the UK, certified translations are required for visa applications, legal proceedings and academic submissions.

Each certified translation includes:

  • Signed declaration of accuracy
  • Translator or agency details
  • Date of certification

Our translations meet the requirements of the UK Home Office and other UK authorities.
