Certified Translation Services
We have a range of qualified translators available to provide translation in a variety of languages combination for your personal or business document(s) and we perform several quality assurance checks to verify spelling, grammar, punctuation, formatting, completeness and accuracy before delivering the completed document to our clients.
We provide either simple translations or translation certified by a notary public, solicitor or sworn qualified translators, according to your needs or requirements of the country of final destination.
Certified translation can mean a number of things: translations are usually considered ‘certified’ if they have been produced under one of the three circumstances:
1. The document has been translated by a ‘sworn translator’
In some countries, qualified translators can register with an official body as a ‘sworn translator’ and by doing so be recognised by authorities such as the High Court of Justice and Ministry of Foreign Affairs to translate and attest documents (often referred to as producing a ‘certified translation’).
Sworn Translation in the UK
There is no such thing as a ‘Sworn Translator’ in Common Law jurisdiction as there is no recognised official body which grants authorisation and regulates this practice in the UK.
2. The document has been certified by a translator or the translation company
Even though there is no formal route by which a translator can be authorised to certify translations in the United Kingdom, it is often acceptable to the requesting party for the translator to declare that they are a professional qualified translator and they believe it to be a ‘true and accurate translation of the original source document’.
In theory, anyone who calls themselves a translator could make this claim. However, we always ensure that our network of professional and qualified translators state their qualifications to add gravitas to the claim.
Certified Translations in the UK
As the translation industry is unregulated, ANYONE can make claims as to the accuracy of a particular translation and, therefore, it is important to check the credentials of the certifier carefully.
All our qualified translators are members of the Institute of Translators and Interpreters or Institute of Linguists.
3. Certification in front of a Solicitor or Notary Public
This is very similar to point 2. above, the only difference is that the document is signed in front of a Solicitor or Notary Public as being ‘true to the original’. The Solicitor or Notary Public then certifies it adding their official seal and/or signature to prove the authenticity.
Our translations which are certified by UK Solicitor or Notary Public, are always performed by professional qualified translators members of the Institute of Translators and Interpreters or Institute of Linguists to guarantee accuracy and quality of our translation service.
We are confident that we can provide quality and professional translations, certified or non-certified in a fast, efficient manner and at competitive costs to meet your needs. Handling complex assignments with integrity and dedication is all in day’s work for our network of expert translators.
