What Are Certified Translation Services?
Certified translation is a translation issued with a formal certification statement confirming that it is a true and accurate translation of the source document. In the UK, certified translations are commonly requested for immigration, passport, court, university and other official procedures.
Our standard certification includes:
- An official Locate Translate stamp
- A signed and dated certification statement
- Confirmation that the translation is true and accurate
- Agency identification and relevant certification details
If the receiving authority specifically requests a named translator declaration, Statement of Truth, notarisation or a sworn translation, tell us before ordering so we can prepare the correct format.
