What is a certified translation?
A certified translation is a translation accompanied by a signed statement from a professional translator confirming that the translation is true, accurate and complete. For example, birth certificates for visa applications or court documents submitted as evidence must be translated and certified.
In the UK, certified translations are typically required for official or administrative purposes. Authorities such as the Home Office, UKVI, and courts may require additional steps such as notarisation or an apostille, depending on how and where the document will be used.
What a certified translation includes
Based on our experience handling thousands of certified translations for official and legal use in the UK & internationally, most rejections in the industry occur due to missing certification statements or incomplete translations. A certified translation in the UK must include the following elements:
- A complete and accurate translation of the original document
- Signed statement confirming accuracy
- Translator or agency representative’s name and signature
- Contact details of the translator or agency
- Certification date
- Source and target languages referenced
Certified Translation Example
What Type of Certified Translation Do You Need?
An officially certified translation in the UK is a translation accompanied by a statement of truth from a qualified translator or translation agency, confirming it is an accurate representation of the original document. This type of certification is generally sufficient for most official and professional applications in the UK.
A statement of truth verifies the documents, making them ready for official applications. This is commonly required for legal, business, medical and financial and personal documents. To verify a translation, a qualified translator (or an accredited agency) must attest that it is a true, complete and accurate.
For applications abroad, translations must usually include a sworn statement, notarisation or an apostille, depending on the country’s regulations, or the specific purpose for which the translation is needed. Below, we explain the differences between Certified (standard), Sworn, Notarised and Apostle (legalised) translations:
Certified Translation (Standard UK)
A standard certified translation confirms the document is a true, accurate, and complete representation of the original. It includes a signed, stamped, and dated statement of truth by the accredited translator or agency. Official document translations with a signed statement of accuracy are officially accepted in the UK by all authorities and government bodies.
Sworn Translation
A sworn translation is usually issued for use in countries such as France, Portugal, Italy, Belgium, Poland, Germany, and Spain. It must be produced by legally appointed translators recognised by the Court or the Government. The translator must personally attest that the original document has been accurately translated.
Notarised Translation
A notarised translation requires the notary public or solicitor to verify the authenticity of the translator’s signature. This confirms the translation was produced by a registered linguist. Notarisation is requested by the authority and recognised for legal purposes in the UK and abroad.
Apostille Translation (Legalised)
An apostille translation ensures your document is internationally recognised for use outside the UK. It is verified by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office for official use abroad and is commonly required for legal, educational, or immigration purposes, particularly in countries adhering to the Hague Convention.
