Our Basic Certified UK Translation is fully valid in the UK and includes a certified declaration of translation accuracy on our company letterhead confirming the name of our translator, the full membership details with the Association of Translation Companies, that it is accurate and complete and our contact details. It is also dated, stamped and signed.
This is normally sufficient for use in the United Kingdom. If the documents are to be used in Courts, or for submission to a consulate, or in some higher UK capacity, or for use overseas, it may require a Sworn UK Translation Declaration in front of a solicitor or Notary.
We only need a scan/photo of the original for a basic Certified UK Translation declaration, which you can upload in Step 3 or post to our office. There are exceptions (see 'Sending Docs').

It includes details of the translator, our details, stamp and signature, it also includes the solicitor's details, stamp and signature. See 'Levels of Certification'.
This is normally sufficient for use in UK Courts, for some consulates or for use overseas. If the translated document is for use overseas, you may also need to have it Legalized (Apostille).

The Notarized UK Translation process is similar to the Sworn process, except that the translation is signed and stamped by a Notary Public, not a Solicitor. This is usually required for higher capacity commercial transactions for use abroad, some consulates, higher court cases.
If the notarized translation is for overseas use you may also need to have the original document and/or translation legalized (Apostille). Please check with whomever you are submitting the translated document about legalization or choose Legalization below.
You have chosen NOT to have the translation certified. In general, the translation of certificates for submission to official organizations and governments requires Certification by most organizations and the documents are signed, stamped and sent to you by email and post. If you are still sure you do not require Certification, for example the translation is just for personal use, click "go to step 2" to proceed with the order. The non-certified translation will be sent to you by email only without any certification stamp on it.
