FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our sworn translation services for degree certificates.

What is a sworn translation?

A sworn translation is a certified translation that is legally recognised for official use. It is prepared by a qualified translator who provides a formal declaration, stamp, or seal certifying the accuracy of the translation.

Do you translate degree certificates?

Yes, we specialise in translating degree certificates, diplomas, academic transcripts, and other educational documents for use abroad. We handle all types of academic qualifications.

What's the difference between certified, notarised, and sworn translation?

A certified translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy and meets the requirements of most UK official bodies. A notarised translation adds verification by a notary public, required by some courts and embassies. A sworn translation is a formal legal declaration by a recognised translator, required by certain countries and courts.

Will you translate stamps and seals on my degree certificate?

Yes. All visible text, including stamps, seals, embossed text, and handwritten entries will be translated and reproduced in your certified translation.

Can I send a photo from my phone rather than a scanned PDF?

Yes — a clear, well-lit photo is fine. We will confirm whether it is readable and let you know if a better image is needed before we start. Where a document has text on the reverse, please send both sides.

How much does a certified translation cost?

Pricing depends on document length, language pair, and turnaround option. We provide a clear, fixed quote before any work begins — no hidden fees.

Is my document kept confidential?

Yes. Your documents are handled securely and only shared with the translator and reviewer working on your project. We treat personal and legal documents with care and strict confidentiality.

How long does the translation take?

Standard turnaround is typically 3-5 working days. Express and same-day options are available for urgent requests. We confirm the exact timeline when you receive your quote.

Do I need to send my original degree certificate?

No. A clear scan or photo is sufficient. We recommend keeping your original documents safe and only sending digital copies for translation.
