Our Basic Certified UK Translation is fully valid in the UK and includes a declaration of accuracy confirming the name of our translator, the full membership details with the Association of Translation Companies (ATC), that it is accurate and complete and our contact details. It is also dated, stamped and signed.
This is normally sufficient for the United Kingdom. If the documents are to be used in Courts, or some embassies, 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/copy of the original for a basic Certified UK Translation declaration, which you can upload in Step 3 or post/drop at our office. There are exceptions (see 'Sending Docs to Certified UK Translation'

A sworn UK translation has a declaration attached which is signed by a Commissioner for Oaths (usually a Solicitor or Notary) confirming that it is accurate and complete. 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, with some embassies or for use overseas. If the translated document is for use overseas, you may also need to have it Legalised (Apostille). Please check with whomever you are submitting the documents about Legalisation or choose legalisation below (See Legalisation Apostille).
We usually require the original document for a Sworn Declaration but we don't always stamp the original, instead we stamp a Certified True Copy made by our Solicitor (or you can supply yourself a certified true copy signed by any solicitor or notary). We can get started from a scan/copy which you can upload in Step 3, but we will need the actual physical original soon after (send by post or submit in person at our office either before or on collection). There are exceptions (see 'Sending Docs').

The Notarisation 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 embassies, higher court cases.
If the translation and notarisation is for overseas use you may also need to have the original document and/or translation document legalised (Apostille). Please check with whomever you are submitting the translated document about legalisation or choose Legalisation below.
You have chosen NOT to have certification. In general, the translation of certificates requires Certification by most organisations and the documents are signed, stamped and sent to you by email and post or collected from our office. If you are still sure you do not require Certification, click "go to step 2" to proceed with the order. The plain translation will be sent to you by email only without any certification stamp on it.
