FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can I get certified translation in Glasgow?

Many standard documents can be turned around quickly, with urgent options available depending on the document type.

Will my certified translation be accepted for visa or Home Office use?

Yes, as long as the translation is complete and prepared with the correct certification details.

Can I send a photo instead of a scan?

Yes, a high-quality photo is acceptable if the entire document is visible and readable.

Do you offer urgent translation Glasgow services for small documents?

Yes, we prioritize short personal documents for urgent requests.

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?
