Certificate of Accuracy or Affidavit of Accuracy?
A standard certificate of translation accuracy is a written and signed certification accompanying the translated document. It confirms that the translation is true and accurate and records the relevant translator details.
An affidavit of accuracy is different. An affidavit is a statement sworn or affirmed using a prescribed legal process. It is not automatically required with every certified translation, although it may be requested for particular court matters or legal procedures.
Check the instructions issued by the court, solicitor or receiving authority. When an affidavit has been requested, send us the exact wording or submission instructions with your document so that the appropriate route can be identified.

Certificate of Translation Accuracy Questions
These answers explain what the certificate records, when further verification may be needed and what to send for a quote.
What is a certificate of translation accuracy in the UK?
It is the certification page confirming that the translation is true and accurate. It includes essential details such as the translation date and the translator’s full name and contact information.
Is a translator declaration the same as a statement of accuracy?
Yes. These terms commonly refer to the formal certification statement supporting the translated document.
Is the certificate of translation accuracy included with every certified order?
Yes. A certificate of translation accuracy is included with every certified order without needing to be requested separately.
Do I need notarisation as well as a certificate of translation accuracy?
Not always. The required certification level depends on the receiving authority and the purpose for which the translated document will be used.
Is an affidavit of accuracy required for a certified translation?
Not for every certified translation. An affidavit is a sworn or affirmed statement that may be required for a particular court or legal procedure. Check the receiving authority’s instructions and send us any wording it has provided.
What must a certified translation include?
A certified translation should include a complete translation of the visible text and a signed statement confirming its accuracy. The certification normally records the translation date and the translator’s full name and contact details. Additional requirements can apply to particular authorities or legal procedures.
Can I send a phone photo instead of a scanned PDF?
Yes. A clear photograph is suitable for the initial review. We will confirm whether every page is readable and advise when a clearer image is needed before work starts.
How much does a certified translation cost?
Pricing depends on the document length, language pair and required turnaround. Short standard documents are typically priced per page, while multi-page packs are quoted as a set. Send your file for a free quote.
Is my document kept confidential?
Yes. Documents are handled securely and shared only with the linguists and reviewers needed to complete the translation project.
