Who we are

Translation support built around the purpose of your document

Certified Translation Services provides professional translation services for personal, academic, legal, immigration and business documents that need to be presented to authorities, universities, employers, embassies, courts and other organisations. For visa-specific requirements, see our UKVI certified translation guidance.

An official document request is rarely just a matter of changing words from one language to another. The destination, intended use and receiving organisation's instructions can determine whether you need a standard certified translation or an additional step such as notarisation, sworn translation, apostille or legalisation support.

Before providing a quote, we ask about the document type, source and target languages, destination and deadline. These details help clarify the necessary translation or certification and allow the price and expected delivery to be confirmed before work starts.

A practical, document-first approach

We focus on complete translation, accurate treatment of names, dates, numbers, stamps and visible text, and certification details that can be checked independently where required.

Clear before work begins Pricing, timing and route

The order details confirm the price, expected turnaround and recommended certification option before translation starts.

Checked before delivery Important details reviewed

Names, dates, numbers, stamps, visible text and certification details are checked as part of the document workflow.

Guided by the recipient No unnecessary authentication

Additional steps are recommended only when the receiving organisation or destination requirements call for them.

What we do

Different requirements need different routes

We distinguish certified translation from notarisation, sworn translation and document legalisation. Each follows a different process, so we ask for the recipient’s instructions rather than automatically adding services that may not be required.

How we work

A clear five-step process

The process is designed to clarify the requirement early, reduce avoidable uncertainty and keep the important details of the document visible throughout the work.

  1. Send the document

    Upload clear scans or readable phone photographs of every relevant page.

  2. Explain its destination

    Tell us which authority, country, university, employer, court or embassy will receive it.

  3. Review your quote

    Confirm the language pair, required certification, price and expected turnaround before we begin.

  4. Translation and checks

    A professional translator prepares the translation and key details are reviewed.

  5. Receive the completed work

    The translation is delivered in the digital or agreed hard-copy format confirmed as part of the order.

Our values

Accuracy, clarity and practical support

Official documents can affect applications, enrolment, legal matters, employment and international administration. Our working principles reflect the importance of that context.

Accuracy

We pay close attention to the complete visible content of the source, including names, dates, numbers, stamps and handwritten entries where legible.

Document care

We request readable copies of the relevant pages and avoid asking for unrelated personal details. Clear source material helps us assess the work and prepare a complete translation.

Clarity

We explain the proposed service, price, turnaround and delivery arrangement before work begins, so the next step is understood.

Purpose

We ask where the document will be used because the recipient's instructions determine the appropriate certification or authentication route.

Who we help

Support for personal, professional and organisational documents

The same careful process applies whether the request concerns one personal certificate or a set of legal, academic or business records.

Legal and immigration professionals

Court papers, affidavits, contracts, evidence and supporting documents used in legal or immigration matters.

Students and professionals

Businesses and organisations

Company records, agreements, certificates and formal commercial documents prepared for business or administrative use.

Questions about our service

What clients often want to know

These answers explain how the service works and where the receiving organisation's own rules remain decisive.

What does Certified Translation Services do?

We provide professional translations for personal, legal, academic, immigration and business documents intended for official use in the UK and abroad. Available routes include certified, notarised and sworn translation, together with apostille and legalisation guidance where required.

Are documents translated by human translators?

Yes. Certified and official document work is completed by professional human translators rather than delivered as unreviewed machine output. Names, dates, numbers, stamps, visible text and relevant formatting are checked before delivery.

How do you decide which certification route is needed?

We consider the document type, destination country, intended use and any written instructions from the receiving organisation. Standard certification may be enough for one submission, while another may specifically require notarisation, a sworn translator, apostille or legalisation.

Can clients throughout the UK order online?

Yes. Clients using our certified translation services in London and throughout the UK can send readable document copies online. Digital delivery is available, and any required hard-copy arrangement is confirmed as part of the order.

What should I send with my document?

Send clear copies of the relevant pages and include only the information needed for the translation request. Tell us the source and target languages, receiving organisation and deadline when known.

Do you guarantee that every authority will accept a translation?

No translation provider can make the final decision for the receiving organisation. Requirements vary by authority, application and destination, so clients should confirm the recipient's instructions and share them before ordering.
