Frequently Asked Questions

What is a deadline translation service?

A deadline translation service is a fast, priority-based translation option for documents that must be submitted by a fixed time or date.

Can you handle last minute translation requests in the UK?

Yes. We handle last minute translation requests across the UK, including short certificates, ID documents, academic papers, and legal documents.

How quickly can I get an urgent submission translation?

Short, clear documents may be suitable for 2-hour priority handling during working hours.

Will fast turnaround affect the quality of the translation?

No. Fast turnaround should not mean careless delivery. Urgent work still needs proper translation, checking, and document review.

What must a certified translation include?

A certified translation must include a complete translation of all visible text, a signed Certificate of Accuracy, and the translator’s full name, contact details, and date. This is the standard required by the Home Office, UKVI, courts, and most official bodies.

Can I send a phone photo instead of a scanned PDF?

Yes. A clear photo is fine. We’ll confirm whether it’s readable and advise if a better image is needed for any page before we start. Scan quality can affect whether same-day delivery is feasible.

How much does a certified translation cost?

Pricing depends on document length, language pair, and turnaround. Short standard documents are typically priced per page. Send your file for a fast quote — we confirm price and turnaround before any work begins. Use the quote form →

Is my document kept confidential?

Yes. Your documents are handled securely and only shared with the linguists and reviewers needed to complete your translation project.
