Who we are

Where accuracy meets urgency

Urgent Certified Translation is an online document translation service supporting individuals, families and businesses with certified translations for UK and international submissions.

Our work covers immigration records, legal papers, academic qualifications, identity documents, company files and other official material. We focus on preserving the information that matters: names, dates, reference numbers, document structure, stamps, seals, signatures and readable annotations.

The aim is to make the process clear from the beginning. Customers can send their files online, explain where the documents will be submitted and confirm their deadline. The suitable translation, certification, turnaround and delivery format can then be reviewed before work proceeds.

Our name describes the balance we work to maintain: responding quickly while keeping document detail, certification and quality control at the centre of the service.

Questions customers often ask

About our certified translation service

These answers explain how to begin, what information to provide and how certification and urgent delivery are handled.

What does Urgent Certified Translation do?

We translate personal, immigration, legal, academic and business documents and provide certification options for official submissions. The available route may include certified, urgent, sworn, notarised or apostille-related translation support, depending on the receiving organisation’s instructions.

How do I order a certified translation?

Send a complete and readable copy of the document through the online order page. Include the source and target languages, the intended receiving organisation, your deadline and whether you need a digital file or posted copies.

How quickly can my translation be completed?

Urgent and same-day options may be available for suitable documents and language pairs. The exact turnaround is confirmed after the document, length, complexity, certification route and delivery requirement have been reviewed.

What documents can you translate?

Common requests include birth and marriage certificates, passports, divorce and death records, police certificates, diplomas, transcripts, court papers, affidavits, contracts, company records and other personal or official documents.

What is included with a certified translation?

The completed translation includes the translated document and a signed certification statement. Relevant identifying and contact details, the certification date and other required information are included in the agreed format.

Which languages are available?

The wider service supports more than 100 languages. Availability for a particular urgent request depends on the source and target languages, document type, certification requirement and deadline.

Do you provide digital and hard-copy translations?

Yes. A certified digital file can be supplied by email, and posted hard copies can be arranged when the receiving organisation requires physical documents.

How do I know whether I need certified, sworn, notarised or apostilled translation?

Check the wording provided by the organisation receiving the document. These services are not interchangeable. Send its current instructions with your file so the appropriate translation, certification and authentication route can be reviewed before work begins.
