The service in brief

Can a Certified Translation Be Delivered Within 24 Hours?

Yes, for suitable documents. A 24-hour certified translation can be possible when the language pair is available and the document is clear, complete and realistic to translate, format, review and certify within the available working time.

Length, readability, specialist terminology, handwritten content, complex formatting and any additional certification formalities can affect the fastest reliable turnaround. The deadline is confirmed only after the complete document has been checked.

Checks before delivery

Quality Checks Before 24-Hour Delivery

Urgent work is prioritised, but names, dates, figures, official markings, formatting and certification details still require review before the certified file is issued.

Names Personal names and preferred transliterations are checked against supplied passport or English-language spellings.
Dates and figures Dates, registration references, identification numbers and financial figures are reviewed against the source.
Stamps and seals Visible endorsements, annotations, official markings and readable handwritten notes are accounted for.
Completeness Reverse-side content, missing pages, cropped edges and incomplete document packs can be raised.
Formatting The layout is prepared so corresponding fields can be compared with the original document.
Certification The accuracy statement, identifying details, date and signature are reviewed before issue.
Delivery and certification routes

Digital and Hard-Copy Delivery Options

Certified PDF

A signed digital version delivered by email for electronic submission where digital files are accepted.

Editable File

An editable version can be supplied where this has been included in the agreed project requirements.

Posted Hard Copy

Printed certified translations can be posted when the receiving organisation requires a physical signed copy.

Certification and speed are separate decisions. A standard certified translation, an urgent certified translation , a sworn translation, notarised translation and apostille-related formalities are different routes. Use the wording in the receiving organisation's written instructions rather than choosing only by turnaround or price.
Frequently asked questions

24-Hour Certified Translation FAQs

Can a certified translation be delivered within 24 hours?

Yes, suitable documents can be completed through the 24-hour express route when the language pair, document length, readability, formatting and certification requirements allow it. The available delivery time is confirmed after the complete file is reviewed.

How much does a 24-hour certified translation cost?

The current certified starting rate for 24-hour delivery is £119 per page. Translation-only pricing starts from £75 per page. The final quotation depends on the language pair, document volume, terminology, formatting, certification and delivery requirements.

What if I need the translation sooner than 24 hours?

Faster routes are available for suitable files. The published 12-hour certified starting rate is £134 per page, while the two-hour working-hours option starts from £141 per page and depends on immediate translator capacity.

Is the two-hour option available for every document?

No. The two-hour option is intended for suitable emergency documents during working hours. Longer, specialist, handwritten or heavily formatted files may require more time.

What should I send to receive a 24-hour quote?

Send every relevant page, the source and required language, the receiving organisation, your exact deadline, any written certification instructions and whether a posted copy is required.

Can I send a photograph taken with my phone?

A clear, well-lit photograph can be suitable for assessment when the full page and all document edges are visible. Avoid blur, glare, shadows, cropped stamps and heavy image compression.

Will the translation include certification?

Yes, when certified translation is ordered. The completed file includes the translated document and the agreed certification statement and identifying details.

Can I receive a printed hard copy?

Yes. Certified PDF delivery is available by email, and printed hard copies can be posted on request. Confirm whether the receiving organisation requires a physical copy before ordering.
