Common Questions

Questions people usually ask

What are sworn translations?

Sworn translations are official translations that are certified by a qualified translator, ensuring their accuracy and acceptance by authorities.

Can I do this online?

Yes, our services are fully online. You can submit documents and receive translations digitally.

Will you translate stamps and seals?

Absolutely, all visible text, including stamps and seals, will be translated.

How long does it take?

Turnaround times vary based on document length and complexity. We will provide an estimated time with your quote.

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. We help you identify which level is right for your document and destination.

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

Yes — a clear, well-lit photo is fine. We'll confirm whether it's 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 throughout.
