Certified translation
When the receiving organisation asks for a certified translation
A certified translation is different from a general translation because it includes certification information confirming the accuracy and completeness of the translated document. The exact requirements depend on the organisation receiving it.
✓
Complete source contentRelevant headings, body text, notes, stamps, seals and other visible content are translated or represented appropriately.
✓
Certification statementThe completed translation can include a signed statement confirming accuracy where certification is required.
✓
Identification detailsDate, translator or translation-company details and contact information can be included as required.
✓
Document-specific checkingNames, dates, figures, references and repeated terminology are checked against the source before delivery.
Send the complete source file and tell us where it will be submitted so the appropriate service can be confirmed.
Certified, notarised or apostille-related?
Choose the document route the receiving authority actually asks for
These terms describe different steps. Do not add notarisation or legalisation automatically when a standard certified translation is all that is required.
Certified Translation
Translation with the appropriate certification details for official submission where certified translation is requested.
Notarised Translation
An additional notarial step relating to the translation or certification when the receiving organisation specifically requires it.
Apostille / Legalisation Route
A separate legalisation process that can apply to documents or signatures depending on destination-country requirements.
The final service depends on the source document, intended use, language pair and deadline.

Client testimonials
What clients said about their translations
“After being quoted ridiculous prices elsewhere, I found UKVI Translation and their pricing was refreshingly transparent. My Polish bank statements and police clearance were translated and certified in just two days. The translations were spot-on and my ILR application was approved. Excellent service.”
“I needed my Indian medical degree and transcripts translated for GMC registration. The academic translation was exceptionally accurate — the medical terminology was perfect. They even matched the original document layout, which made verification straightforward. Truly professional service.”
Translation services FAQ
Common questions about choosing a translation service
What is the difference between the Services and Documents pages?
The Services page is organised by translation type, such as immigration, legal, medical or business translation. The Documents page is organised by the exact file type, such as a birth certificate, bank statement or police certificate.
What is a certified translation?
A certified translation is accompanied by certification information confirming the accuracy and completeness of the translation. The exact format required can depend on the receiving organisation.
Do I need certified or notarised translation?
Use the requirement given by the organisation receiving the document. Notarisation is an additional step and should not be added automatically when standard certified translation is sufficient.
Do you provide urgent translation?
Yes. Express and same-day options may be available for suitable documents and supported language pairs. Send the complete file and exact deadline so availability can be confirmed.
How much does certified translation cost?
Suitable standard certified documents start from £40 per page, express from £65 and same-day from £100 where available. Larger, specialist or non-document projects can be quoted differently.
Can you translate business and website content?
Yes. Business and website translation are separate specialist services because scope, terminology, format and localisation needs differ from straightforward certified document translation.
Where do I find my language?
Use the Languages page to browse language-specific services. If a language pair is not listed, send the project details so availability can be confirmed.
How do I place an order?
Use the online order page to upload the actual source file, then provide the language pair, intended use and deadline. The file can then be reviewed for a confirmed price and turnaround.
