From £40/pageStart Your OrderShort, complete and legible records are often easier to assess for priority treatment. Longer or technical files may still be possible, but need a realistic project-specific deadline.
We check these factors before agreeing a deadline. An urgent service should never depend on guessing how quickly an unseen document can be translated accurately.
A one-page civil certificate is different from a lengthy legal statement or densely formatted report.
The language direction, terminology and available linguist/reviewer capacity affect turnaround.
Blurred scans, handwriting, cropped text or illegible stamps may require a better original.
A certified PDF may fit a tight deadline, while a certified true copy, notarisation and apostille need separate processing times.
Give the requested delivery date, local time and time zone. The agreed priority window starts from the confirmed processing time, not automatically when a file is uploaded.
A certified PDF can be delivered electronically; courier or postal delivery has additional logistics.
Provide your full document, deadline and recipient's requirements at the beginning so we can give a useful answer without repeated clarification.
Include all sides and attachments; use clear scans, PDFs or legible photographs.
Give the exact date, time and time zone, source/target languages and receiving organisation.
We agree the chargeable pages, full price, certification, processing start and deadline before work begins.
Receive the agreed electronic translation, with physical copies arranged separately if required.
For time-sensitive applications, make sure the recipient can use an electronic certified translation. Do not rely on a postal delivery estimate if an original physical copy is required.
Where electronic submission is accepted, an agreed certified PDF can include an accuracy statement, date and translator's details. For UK visitor visa applications, the translator's full name, signature and contact details must be included.
Where the recipient needs a posted original, notarisation, sworn translation or apostille, request a separate timeline. FCDO apostille legalisation authenticates qualifying UK signatures, stamps and seals, not translation accuracy.
The recipient decides which certification is acceptable. A certified translation, certified true copy, notarisation and apostille are different procedures. GOV.UK explains certification.
Translated wording with an accuracy statement, not independent authentication of the original document.
Certified translation →May be required in jurisdictions with recognised sworn translator arrangements.
Sworn translation →A separate notarial procedure for particular signatures or declarations when required.
Notarised translation →A separate process authenticating eligible signatures, stamps or seals; not translation accuracy.
Apostille guidance →Upload all pages, give the language pair and exact deadline with time zone, and attach recipient instructions. We confirm the full price, available delivery deadline and certification before work begins.
