FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a French to English certified translation?
It is a professional translation of a French document with a signed certification statement confirming its accuracy.
Can you translate French documents for official use in the UK?
Yes, we prepare translations with the appropriate certification details for submission in the UK.
How quickly can you complete an urgent French translation?
Turnaround depends on the document type and length; urgent requests are prioritized.
What should I send to get started?
Send the French document, your deadline, and any specific submission instructions.
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.
