UK Government Home Office Certified Translation Requirements

What is a certified translation, and who needs it in the United Kingdom?

Certified translation services provide written confirmation that documents translated into English or Welsh from any other language are accurate and true representations of the original document. It includes the translator’s or Translation Company’s signed statement of accuracy and other important information, such as the date completed and contact information.

Certified translations are of vital importance to those individuals and institutions dealing with official documents in the United Kingdom for any legal, academic, or administrative purpose.

The most frequent examples include the following:

• Immigration Applications: Translation of the birth certificate, marriage certificate, or passport to be submitted to the Home Office.
• Educational and Professional Licensing: University transcript, degree, or certification, schools in the UK or other regulatory bodies like GMC or NMC.
• Legal Documentation: Legal proceedings in the UK require contracts, affidavits, or court decisions.
• Business Transactions: Financial statements, incorporation certificates, or business contracts for regulatory compliance.

Certified translations are usually required by UK authorities such as the Home Office, HM Passport Office, UK courts, and local councils. This kind of translation will assure that the content being translated is of high standards, regarding accuracy and authenticity, hence a must-do for one undergoing official procedures in the UK.

Home Office Guidance for Passport Applications

The Home Office requires certified translations for any documents not in English or Welsh. These translations must accompany the original documents. At BLS, we ensure all translations meet these standards, giving you peace of mind.

Home Office Guidance for Visa Applications

For visa applications, the Home Office mandates:

• A confirmation that the translation is a true and faithful rendering of the original document.
• The date of translation.
• The translator’s full name, signature, and contact details.
