When you need a document translated for official use, the wording on the certificate matters just as much as the translation itself.

Your translation is completed by a qualified professional and supplied with a signed and dated certification statement confirming that it is a true and accurate translation of the original document.

A certified translation that is ready to submit
You are not looking for a casual translation. You need a document that looks professional, includes the right translator declaration, and is prepared for official review.
That is exactly what we provide.
Your order can include:
- a full professional translation of the document
- a translation certification statement attached to the translation
- a signed and dated certificate of accuracy
- translator or company contact details for verification
- digital delivery by email, with hard copy options where needed
- guidance if you also need notarised translation services
For many UK applications, the certification wording must confirm accuracy and identify who completed or issued the translation. We build that into the service from the start, so you do not have to chase missing details later.

What your certificate of accuracy translation includes
One reason this service is searched so often is simple: many clients are unsure whether “certified translation,” “translator declaration,” and “certificate of accuracy” mean the same thing.
In practice, what most UK authorities want is a full translation accompanied by a signed statement confirming its accuracy.
Your certification pack can include:
- confirmation that the translation is true and accurate
- the date of certification
- the full name of the translator or authorised representative
- signature
- contact details
- company details where required
- stamp or headed format where appropriate for presentation
This reduces a common cause of delay: submitting a translated document without a complete certification statement.
Example of certification wording
A typical translation certification statement may read along the following lines:
I certify that this is a true and accurate translation of the original document presented to me/us. Signed and dated, with full contact details for verification.
The exact layout can vary depending on the receiving authority, but the purpose stays the same: to show that the translation is complete, accurate, and traceable to a professional provider.
When you may need this service
A certificate of accuracy translation in the UK is commonly requested when you need to submit non-English documents for official or regulated purposes.
Common examples include:
visa and immigration paperwork
birth certificate translation
marriage certificate translation
passport translation services
academic transcripts and diplomas
bank statements and supporting financial documents
court and solicitor paperwork
employment and HR records
medical and insurance documents
company formation and compliance records
If you already know you need a broader certified translation service, we can confirm the right level of certification before work begins.
Why clients choose Translation Services 24
You want more than a translator. You want a provider that understands what happens after delivery, when your document is checked by a caseworker, admissions team, solicitor, court, or employer.
Translation Services 24 is chosen because the service is built around official-use documents:
- accredited translation provider with a strong UK focus
- qualified linguists working across 200+ languages
- certification included for eligible official translations
- urgent and same-day options available through our urgent translation services
- clear, transparent pricing
- secure file handling and confidential processing
- support for standard certified, notarised, and legalised workflows
- guidance backed by our accreditations and documented translation process
Clients also value the fact that we keep the process straightforward. You send the file. We review the requirement. We confirm the price and turnaround. We deliver a translation that is ready to use.
“TS24 translated my marriage certificate within 24 hours. It was delivered on time and accepted by the Home Office.”
That is the standard you should expect when the document matters.
A practical example
A client needs to submit a one-page birth certificate in Italian for a UK visa application.
What often goes wrong with low-quality providers is not the language itself, but the missing details around the certification statement. A plain translated page with no signed declaration, no date, and no contact details can create avoidable questions.
What we provide instead is:
- the full English translation
- a certificate confirming that it is a true and accurate translation of the original
- signature and date
- contact details for verification
- a clean presentation suitable for formal submission
That makes the document easier to review and reduces the risk of being asked to resubmit it.
The difference between certified, notarised, and legalised translation
Many clients come to us asking for a “certificate of accuracy” when what they really need is clarity on the level of authentication.
Here is the practical difference:
Certified translation
the translation is supplied with a signed accuracy statement from the translator or translation company
Notarised translation
the translator’s or company representative’s signature is additionally witnessed or formalised by a notary
Legalised or apostilled translation
an extra level of authentication used for certain overseas submissions
For most UK submissions, certified translation with a proper certificate of accuracy is the starting point. If the receiving authority specifically asks for notarisation or legalisation, we can arrange that too through our notarised translation services.
Documents we regularly certify
We provide translation certification statements for a wide range of official documents, including:
- birth, marriage, death, and divorce certificates
- passports, ID cards, residence permits, and visas
- academic certificates, transcripts, and reference letters
- police records and court documents
- bank statements, payslips, and tax records
- medical letters and reports
- contracts, incorporation papers, and company documents
- adoption papers and family law documents
If your document is unusual, confidential, handwritten, stamped, or heavily formatted, send it over anyway. We will review it and confirm the best route.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a certificate of accuracy in translation?
A certificate of accuracy is a signed statement attached to a translated document confirming that the translation is a true and accurate translation of the original. In the UK, this is commonly used as the certification statement for official document submissions.
Is a certificate of accuracy the same as a certified translation?
In many UK use cases, yes. A certified translation is usually a professional translation supplied with a signed translation certification statement or translator declaration confirming accuracy. People often search for this as a certificate of accuracy translation.
What should a translation certification statement include?
The certification wording should clearly confirm accuracy and normally include the date, the translator’s or authorised representative’s name, signature, and contact details. Some clients also request company details, stamp, or headed presentation.
Do I need a notarised translation or just a signed certificate?
Not always. Many UK applications only require a certified translation with a signed and dated certificate of accuracy. If the receiving authority specifically asks for notarisation, sworn translation, apostille, or legalisation, we can advise before you order.
Can I send a scan or photo instead of the original document?
Yes. In most cases, a clear scan, PDF, or high-quality photo is enough for quoting and production. If the document quality is poor or part of the text is unclear, we will let you know before work begins.
How long does a certificate of accuracy translation take?
Turnaround depends on the language pair, length, and urgency. Simple personal documents are often completed quickly, and urgent options may be available. We always confirm the delivery time before work starts.
How much does a certificate of accuracy translation cost in the UK?
Cost depends on the document, language, formatting, and deadline. Standard personal documents are often priced differently from multi-page legal or technical files. Request a quote and we will confirm the exact price before proceeding.
Will my certified translation be accepted by UK authorities?
Acceptance depends on the receiving authority’s own rules, but a properly prepared certified translation with the required declaration, date, signature, and contact details is the standard format commonly requested for UK official use. If you know where the document is being submitted, tell us and we will prepare it accordingly.
Can you translate certificates, passports, and academic documents?
Yes. We regularly translate and certify birth certificates, marriage certificates, passports, IDs, diplomas, transcripts, bank statements, legal papers, and many other official records.
Do you provide hard copies as well as digital files?
Yes. Digital delivery is often sufficient for online submissions, but hard copy delivery can also be arranged where a physical signed version is preferred or specifically requested.
