FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a certified legal translation in the UK?
Yes, if your document is for submission to a solicitor, court, or official body.
What is the difference between certified, notarised, and legalised translation?
Certified translations are verified for accuracy; notarised includes a notarial step, while legalisation is for overseas recognition.
Can you translate court bundles and litigation documents?
Yes, we specialize in translating litigation documents with a focus on consistency and clarity.
How quickly can legal translation be completed?
Turnaround varies by document complexity, but urgent options are available.
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.
