Standard Certified Translation

A Standard Certified Translation is an officially verified translation of a document, completed by a qualified translator or translation agency. Each translation is accompanied by a signed and dated certification statement confirming that the translation is a true and accurate representation of the original document.

This type of translation is commonly required for official, academic, legal, and immigration purposes, such as:

  • Birth, marriage, or death certificates
  • Academic transcripts and diplomas
  • Legal contracts or court documents
  • Immigration and visa applications
  • Business or financial records

Every certified translation includes:

  • A professional translation by a qualified linguist
  • Proofreading and quality assurance
  • A certification page with translator’s declaration and company details
  • Delivery as a signed PDF or printed copy with a stamp/seal (if required)

Purpose: Accepted by UK authorities, universities, embassies, and most international institutions that require certified translations.

Statement of Truth

A Statement of Truth is a formal declaration made by the translator or translation agency confirming that the translation is complete, accurate, and faithful to the original document.

It serves as a legal assurance that the translation has been carried out to the best of the translator’s knowledge and ability, without any omissions or alterations.

This statement is typically included at the end of a Certified Translation, printed on the agency’s letterhead or attached as a separate certification page.

Purpose: A Statement of Truth provides official credibility to the translation, ensuring that it can be accepted by authorities, courts, embassies, and academic institutions that require certified or verified translations.

Sworn Translation

A Sworn Translation is an officially recognised translation completed by a sworn translator, who has taken an oath before a court or authorised governmental body to guarantee the accuracy and completeness of their work. Each translation carries the translator’s official signature, seal, and certification statement, giving it full legal validity in the destination country.

Sworn translations are commonly required for use abroad, especially in European countries such as Spain, Italy, France, Germany, and the Netherlands, where only translators officially appointed by the courts or government can produce translations accepted by public authorities, universities, and legal institutions.

This service is ideal for:

  • Court and legal documents — contracts, judgments, power of attorney, and notarial acts
  • Certificates and official records — birth, marriage, and education documents for overseas submission
  • Documents requiring authentication by foreign embassies, ministries, or public offices

With 12 Apostilles, you can rely on sworn translations prepared by accredited professionals, ensuring your documents are legally compliant and internationally recognised.
