Certified Translation Services in Birmingham
Professional translation services for Birmingham customers who need personal, immigration, academic, legal or business documents translated for official use. Send your files online and receive clear information about the appropriate certification route, price and expected turnaround before work begins.
Certified Document Translation for Birmingham
You do not need to visit a translation office to arrange a certified translation. Customers in Birmingham can upload clear scans, PDFs or readable photographs online, state the language pair and explain where the document will be submitted.
The receiving organisation determines the type of translation or authentication it requires. For many official submissions a standard certified translation may be appropriate, while some overseas authorities specifically request notarisation, a sworn translation, an apostille or another legalisation step.
Tell the team the authority, university, employer, court, embassy or destination country involved before work begins. This allows the request to be reviewed against its intended purpose rather than adding unnecessary certification.

Which Certification Route Do You Need?
Certified, notarised, sworn and legalised translations are different services. Start with the exact instructions supplied by the authority or organisation receiving your document.
Certified Translation
A complete translation accompanied by a signed statement confirming accuracy and completeness, together with relevant identifying and contact information.
Notarised Translation
Adds a notarial authentication step and should normally be requested only where the receiving organisation specifically requires notarisation.
Sworn Translation
Some countries use an authorised sworn-translator system. The required translator status depends on the jurisdiction receiving the translation.
