A certified translation should be prepared for the specific document and its intended recipient. Before translating, we review the language direction, readable source pages, certification instructions and any names, stamps or handwritten entries that need to be reflected in the final document.
What Is a Certified Translation?
A certified translation is accompanied by a signed statement confirming that it is a true and accurate rendering of the source document. This statement is distinct from notarisation or an apostille, and requirements vary by receiving body.
Documents We Commonly Certify
Requests may include civil certificates, identity documents, academic qualifications, contracts, court material, employment documents, bank statements and immigration supporting records.
Accuracy and Compliance
Names, dates, figures, addresses, stamps and specialist terminology need particular attention. We also consider the presentation and whether supporting pages or annotations should be translated.
What to Expect
Turnaround and pricing depend on the length and complexity of the source, language pair, urgency, layout and any special certification or delivery needs.
Certification and Further Formalities
Some institutions accept certified translations; others request sworn translations, notarisation or document legalisation. Please confirm the appropriate process before ordering.
Personal and Business Documents
We review certified document requests for individuals, legal professionals, companies, academic users and other organisations.
Birth, marriage, divorce and identity records may require a translation accompanied by a signed statement of accuracy. Please tell us which organisation will receive them.
Contracts, court orders, statements and other legal material require consistent names, dates, references and terminology. The receiving body determines whether extra certification is necessary.
Certificates, transcripts, qualifications and employment letters can be translated for review by education providers, employers or professional organisations.
Bank statements, payslips and related records may contain tables, account information and official notes that need careful presentation in translation.
We can discuss the signed accuracy statement and document presentation. Some submissions additionally need notarisation, an apostille or a sworn translator.
When time is limited, provide your deadline and all source pages. Available delivery options and pricing are confirmed after reviewing the file.
