A practical document service
From one certificate to a complete document set
Document translation covers far more than converting the main text into another language. Names, dates, reference numbers, stamps, seals, annotations, tables and the structure of the original document may all need careful handling.
Translation Services 24 supports individuals, legal professionals and businesses with personal, immigration, academic, legal, financial, medical and corporate documents.
When certification is required, the completed translation can include a signed declaration confirming that it is a true and complete representation of the original.

Your completed translation is delivered within the agreed timeframe, with certification included where required.

Questions customers ask
Document translation FAQs
Useful answers about document types, certification, cost, turnaround and preparing your files.
What documents can you translate?
Common documents include birth and marriage certificates, passports, driving licences, police certificates, academic records, bank statements, payslips, contracts, court papers, medical reports, company records and other personal or professional documents.
Do I need a certified document translation?
Certification is commonly requested when a translation is being submitted for official, legal, immigration, academic or professional purposes. The exact requirement depends on the organisation receiving the document, so check its current instructions before ordering.
What is included with a certified translation?
Translation Services 24 states that each certified translation includes a signed declaration confirming that the translation is a true and complete representation of the original.
How much does document translation cost?
Standard translation services start from £29 and certified translations start from £40 for standard documents. The final quote depends on factors such as language pair, document length, complexity, formatting, certification requirements and turnaround.
How long does a document translation take?
Standard certified translation normally takes around two to three working days. Same-day and next-day options may be available for suitable urgent requests, depending on the document, language pair, complexity and available capacity.
Can I send a photograph instead of a PDF?
A clear photograph may be suitable where all text, stamps, seals, edges and other relevant information are readable. PDF, JPG, PNG, Word files and clear scans can also be sent for review.
What should I send with my document?
Send every relevant page, the source and target languages, your deadline, the organisation receiving the translation and any instructions it has provided. Where name spelling is important, also provide the spelling used on your passport or application.
Can you translate several documents as one submission?
Yes. If several certificates, identity documents, academic records, financial papers or other files belong to the same application, send the complete set so the scope, terminology, names and timing can be reviewed together.
Are certified translations suitable for UKVI or Home Office use?
Translation Services 24 prepares certified translations for UKVI, Home Office and other UK official submissions. Always compare the finished service with the current requirements of the specific authority receiving your document.
