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 identity and civil-status records, immigration evidence, legal papers, degrees and corporate files. We preserve names, dates, numbers, document structure, readable stamps and signatures so the translation stays traceable to the original.

Send the complete file, language pair, recipient and deadline. We review the translation scope, certification, complete price and available processing window before work begins. Postal delivery, notarisation and apostille services can require separate timing.

Fast delivery should not mean changing the source. We prioritise accuracy and confirm the appropriate certification and realistic processing window before starting.

Our purpose and approach

Making certified translation easier to understand and arrange

Official-document requirements can vary according to the receiving organisation, destination country and intended use. Our role is to help customers organise the appropriate translation and certification route without unnecessary complication.

Our vision

To make official-document translation easier to order, with clear requirements, transparent pricing and flexible delivery choices.

Our mission

To prepare complete translations with the agreed certification and a realistic deadline, while helping customers understand the receiving authority's requirements.

Our services

Certified and priority translation of personal, legal, immigration, academic and business records, with separate sworn, notarial or apostille-related arrangements where required.

What we do

Certified translation for official documents

We translate personal, legal, academic and business documents with certification and delivery options selected around the receiving organisation’s instructions.

Personal and immigration

Identity and family records

Birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce records, passports, identity documents, police records and immigration supporting documents.

Legal and court

Legal documents and formal records

Affidavits, agreements, court papers, witness statements, powers of attorney and other legal material requiring accurate terminology and clear presentation.

Academic and professional

Qualifications and educational records

Diplomas, degree certificates, academic transcripts, training certificates, professional licences and supporting letters.

Business and corporate

Company and commercial documents

Company certificates, contracts, reports, correspondence, compliance files and records used in business or international corporate matters.

A clear online process

From document submission to certified delivery

The exact route depends on the document, language pair, receiving organisation and deadline, but most requests follow four clear stages.

1

Send your document

Upload a complete scan, photograph, PDF or Word file and include the source and target languages.

2

Confirm the requirement

Tell us where the translation will be submitted, your deadline and whether digital or posted delivery is needed.

3

Translate and check

The text, names, dates, numbers, official markings, formatting and certification details are reviewed.

4

Receive the completed files

The certified translation is supplied in the agreed digital format. Printed copies and additional formalities follow separately confirmed arrangements.

Trust, quality and delivery

Translation prepared around the intended submission

Every authority has its own current requirements. Share its instructions with your documents. A certified translation does not by itself authenticate the source or guarantee that an authority will accept a submission.

  • Home Office

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?

Priority options depend on language, length, complexity, certification and capacity. The full price, processing start and exact delivery deadline are agreed before work begins; uploading a file does not reserve an urgent slot.

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 agreed certified translation contains the complete translated text and a signed statement of accuracy. The date, translator details and any additional particulars follow the receiving authority's instructions.

Which languages are available?

The language directory lists 100 languages and regional variants for enquiry. Availability depends on the exact language pair, writing system, document, certification and deadline; inclusion does not guarantee immediate capacity.

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 is my final translation price calculated?

We review every relevant page, the language pair, handwriting, formatting, required certification and delivery. The full price and available deadline are confirmed before work starts; published starting prices are not fixed quotes for every file.

Do I also need notarisation, a sworn translation or an apostille?

Not necessarily. Certified translations, locally sworn translations, notarial steps and apostille legalisation are different procedures. The receiving authority decides which it needs; include its written instructions with the document.

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.
