FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to translate just the diploma, or the transcript as well?

That depends on where you are submitting the documents. Some authorities only want the final certificate, but universities often ask for the transcript as well.

Is diploma translation UK the same as degree certificate translation?

Not always. Some clients use ‘diploma’ as a general term, while the actual document may be a degree certificate or transcript.

Will my certified diploma translation be suitable for official use?

Yes. We prepare certified translations for formal submission and include the necessary certification details.

Can you translate stamps, seals, signatures, and handwritten notes?

Yes. We note these clearly in the translation so the reviewer can understand the full document context.

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.
