Certified translations prepared around where your document is going
A certified translation is a complete translation accompanied by a signed statement confirming that the translation is accurate and complete. It is commonly required when documents written in another language need to be submitted for an official, legal, academic, immigration, employment or administrative purpose.
The exact requirement can differ between receiving organisations. Before work begins, tell us who will receive the document and provide any written certification instructions you have been given. This helps determine whether a standard certified translation is appropriate or whether an additional step such as notarisation, sworn translation, apostille or legalisation support may be required.
Final acceptance always rests with the organisation receiving the translation.

Certified, notarised, sworn or apostilled?
These terms describe different processes. Do not order additional authentication simply because it sounds more official: the receiving organisation's instructions should determine what you need.
| Service | What it adds | When it may be needed |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | A complete translation with a signed statement confirming accuracy and completeness. | Common formal, administrative, academic, immigration, employment and legal submissions in the UK. |
| Notarised translation | Adds an additional authentication step involving a notary public. | When the receiving organisation expressly requests notarisation. |
| Sworn translation | Translation completed under the recognised sworn-translator system used by certain countries. | When the destination jurisdiction requires or recognises a sworn translator. |
| Apostille / legalisation | Additional authentication for eligible documents, signatures or certification. | Where international submission instructions specifically require legalisation. |
