Certified Translation
Certified translations suitable for embassies, immigration, universities and official bodies.
Certified translations are prepared carefully and accompanied by our certification statement. They are commonly used for immigration, study, work and legal purposes when authorities require an official translation.
About Certified Translation
Certified translation is required when authorities, universities or courts must rely on an accurate, faithful version of your documents. Our certified translations are produced by qualified translators and include a signed statement declaring completeness and accuracy. This format is accepted by immigration departments, embassies, notaries, professional bodies and many academic institutions. We translate birth certificates, marriage certificates, degrees, transcripts, bank statements, police certificates, medical documents and legal papers. The layout is kept as close as reasonably possible to the original so reviewers can easily compare both versions. Names, dates, reference numbers and official stamps are handled with special care. Certified translation is commonly needed for visa applications, student admissions, skilled migration, naturalisation, court proceedings and professional licensing. Our team is familiar with requirements of major authorities such as USCIS, IRCC, UKVI, Home Office, European embassies and many Middle Eastern organisations. By choosing certified translation, you ensure your documents are ready for official use without delays.

- After your confirmation, we assign suitable linguists and a project coordinator.
- Where appropriate, we share drafts or sample pages for confirmation.
- We deliver the final output in the agreed format and stay available for follow-up questions.
- Tell us which authority will receive the translation (for example, UK Home Office, USCIS, IRCC, embassies, universities).
- If your lawyer or consultant shared any specific wording for the certification, forward it to us before we start.
Scope, limitations and realistic expectations
Understanding what is and is not included in Certified helps avoid surprises. We focus on what we can do very well and are transparent about related services that sit outside our role.
- Professional human work by experienced linguists, not just raw machine translation.
- Internal checks for completeness and basic error catching.
- Support from a project coordinator from quote through to delivery.
- Reasonable clarifications after delivery, if an authority or partner has questions.
- Legal advice on your case (we are not a law firm).
- Checking your application forms or filling them in on your behalf.
Questions to ask when planning this service
Before you request a quote, it helps to think about a few practical questions. You can share your answers with us or use them to clarify things with your lawyer, consultant or team.
- What wording do you use in the certification statement?
- Will the translation be accepted by a specific embassy or authority?
- Do you need to see original documents or are scans enough?
- Which exact languages and countries are involved?
- Are there phases – for example, some documents needed earlier than others?
- Who will review the translation on your side before submission or publication?
Share your files or links, tell us the languages, target country and deadline, and we will reply with a clear quote, suggested approach and realistic timeline for this service.
