Certified Document Translation Services in the UK, USA & EU – Professional, Fast and Reliable
Need a certified translation of your documents for immigration, visa applications, university admission, employment, legal proceedings, business registration or another official purpose? We provide professional document translation and certification services for individuals, families, students, professionals and businesses throughout the UK, USA and European Union.
If your original document was issued in another language and you need to submit it to an English-speaking authority or institution, a standard translation may not be sufficient. The receiving organisation may ask for a certified translation confirming that the translation is complete and accurate. We can help you identify the appropriate translation and certification format for your particular application.
Professional Certified Document Translation
We translate personal, civil, legal, academic, financial, medical, commercial and technical documents from and into English and other languages.
Our service is suitable for documents being submitted to government departments, immigration authorities, courts, universities, employers, banks, solicitors, notaries, professional bodies and other organisations.
Certified translations can be prepared with the relevant translator’s certification, declaration, signature, date and contact information, depending on the requirements of the receiving organisation.
Because certification requirements differ between countries and institutions, we recommend providing the name of the organisation receiving your documents when requesting a quotation.
