FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does 48 hour certified translation mean?

It means your document is translated, certified, reviewed, and delivered within a confirmed 48-hour turnaround window.

Is 48 hours counted in working hours or full calendar time?

This should be confirmed at quotation stage for each order.

Will my 48 hour certified translation be accepted by UK authorities?

Yes, our translations are prepared for official submission and include necessary certification details.

What documents can usually be completed within 48 hours?

Short and moderate-length files such as certificates, passports, and academic documents are commonly suitable.

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.
