Common Questions
Questions people usually ask
What is a sworn translation?
A sworn translation is a legally recognized translation that includes a certification statement from the translator.
Do you provide notarised translations?
Yes, we offer notarised translations for documents that require additional legal validation.
Can I submit my document online?
Absolutely! You can easily upload your document through our website.
Will you translate stamps and seals?
Yes, all visible text, including stamps and seals, will be translated and included in your certified document.
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.
