Apostille & Certified Translation

One Pack for Overseas Use

Apostille & Certified Translation

One Managed Service for Translation, Apostille, and Overseas Submission Support

Our apostille and certified translation UK service is designed for people who need their documents accepted outside the UK and want the process handled properly the first time. You can come to us when you need certified translation with apostille support, translation with apostille for personal, legal, academic, or business documents, legalisation and translation for overseas use, and help understanding whether the document, the translation, or both need further authentication.

Send us the document, the destination country, and where it will be submitted. We will help map the likely route before work begins.

What is Included

English → Foreign Language

Foreign Language → English

You may be getting married abroad, applying for residency or citizenship, proving family relationships overseas, or recognising qualifications in another country.

You might also be opening or expanding a business internationally, dealing with inheritance or court paperwork, or authorising someone to act on your behalf abroad.

In each case, the issue is the same: the pack has to look right, read clearly, and move through the proper route.

That is why we combine fast communication with careful preparation, rather than treating overseas-use documents like ordinary translation jobs.

What Your Pack Includes

Depending on the document and the receiving authority, your pack can include certified translation prepared for official use, apostille handling for eligible UK documents, support with notarisation or solicitor certification where required, document checks for names, dates, stamps, seals, reference numbers, and attachments, formatting that keeps the translated file easier to compare against the source, and digital delivery, with hard-copy options where needed.

Complete translation of all visible text

Including field labels, entries, stamps, seals, annotations, and legible handwritten notes — nothing omitted

Certificate of Accuracy

Signed statement confirming the translation is true and complete to the best of the translator's knowledge

Translator / agency details

Full name, signature, contact information, and date — as required for official submission

Formatting that mirrors the original

Layout, field structure, headings, and stamps reproduced clearly so the translation cross-references easily

Free pre-submission check

Missing pages, unclear scans, cropped stamps, and name inconsistencies flagged before we start

You do not have to guess which stage comes first. That is one of the main reasons clients use a combined service.

We confirm price & turnaround before we start.

Important Notes

Key Points to Remember

The biggest mistake in apostille and translation work is assuming there is one universal order.

In some cases, the original UK document is legalised first and then translated for the overseas authority.

Sometimes the authority wants the apostille page translated as well, not just the original document.

That is why a ‘quick translation only’ approach often ends up costing more.

Tell us where you’re submitting and we’ll confirm the right approach before we start.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need both apostille and certified translation?

Not always. Some authorities only need a certified translation. Others require apostille on the original document, and some require translation plus additional authentication steps.

What is the difference between apostille and certified translation?

An apostille relates to document authentication for overseas use. A certified translation is the translated version prepared for official submission.

Can you handle translation with apostille as one service?

Yes. We can review the document set, identify the likely order of steps, and manage the process as one coordinated service.

Can you translate the apostille itself?

Where needed, yes. Some receiving authorities want the apostille page translated as well as the underlying document.

What must a certified translation include?

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

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

Yes. A clear photo is fine. We’ll confirm if it’s readable and advise if a better image is needed for any page before we start.

How much a does a certified translation cost?

Pricing depends on document length, language pair, and turnaround. Short standard documents are typically priced per page; multi-page packs are quoted as a set. Send your file for a free quote.

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.
