What's realistic — and what isn't

A true 2 hour translation service is usually realistic when all of the following apply:
Often Suitable for 2-Hour Handling
One-page civil certificates
IDs, passports, and licences
Short supporting letters
Simple police certificates
Straightforward personal records
Often Better on a 12-Hour or 24-Hour Fast-Track
Long contracts
Handwritten documents
Poor-quality photos
Multi-page academic transcripts with dense tables
This honest approach helps you make a quick decision without false promises.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the 2 hour translation service guaranteed for every document?
No. It depends on document length, scan quality, language pair, certification requirements, and whether the order is confirmed during working hours.
Does the 2 hour translation service include certified translation?
Yes, certified translation can be included where required.
What documents are best suited to urgent 2 hour translation?
One-page or short official documents are usually the strongest fit.
What happens if I send my file outside working hours?
We can still receive the file, assess the request, and prioritise it for the next working period.
What must a certified translation include?
A certified translation must include a complete translation of all visible text, a signed Certificate of Accuracy, and the translator’s full name, contact details, and date. This is the standard required by the Home Office, UKVI, courts, and most official bodies.
Can I send a phone photo instead of a scanned PDF?

Yes. A clear photo is fine. We’ll confirm whether it’s readable and advise if a better image is needed for any page before we start. Scan quality can affect whether same-day delivery is feasible.

How much does a certified translation cost?
Pricing depends on document length, language pair, and turnaround. Short standard documents are typically priced per page. Send your file for a fast quote — we confirm price and turnaround before any work begins.
Is my document kept confidential?
Yes. Your documents are handled securely and only shared with the linguists and reviewers needed to complete your translation project.
