A translation prepared for its intended use
Home Office immigration applications and UK authority procedures require certified translations that meet GOV.UK guidance. Our ATC-accredited service provides translations accepted by the Home Office, UK courts, HM Passport Office and UK ENIC for visa, immigration, citizenship and official purposes.
Before ordering, tell us which organisation will receive the translation and in which country. This helps identify the appropriate service and avoids assuming that every authority follows the same rules.
Useful details for this service
Who these translations are for
These certified translations are used for visa and immigration applications submitted to the Home Office, passport and citizenship procedures with HM Passport Office, and settlement or evidence packs where UK authorities need to verify foreign-language documents. Our translations are also accepted by UK ENIC.
What you receive
You receive a complete certified translation with a statement of truth confirming accuracy. It is prepared to meet GOV.UK guidance on providing documents in English for Home Office applications. Where sworn certification may be required instead, visit our certification levels page to compare the options. The receiving authority has the final say on which level is appropriate.

Frequently asked questions
Is a certified translation enough for the Home Office?
Our certified translations are prepared to meet GOV.UK guidance for Home Office applications. Check your application guidance or ask your caseworker if you are unsure which level you need.
Will UK courts and HM Passport Office accept this service?
Yes. Our ATC-accredited translations are accepted by UK courts, HM Passport Office and UK ENIC. Check whether the receiving authority has named certification or delivery requirements before ordering.
Can I use a scan instead of posting the original?
A clear scan is normally enough to prepare a standard certified translation. Some procedures may require you to present the original document or a certified true copy later when submitting your application.
Are same-day translations available?
Same-day options are available where the language, document length and current workload allow. The online quote form shows whether same-day turnaround is offered for your specific order.
Do you translate documents for UK ENIC and HM Passport Office?
Yes. Our translations are also accepted by UK ENIC and by HM Passport Office for passport and citizenship applications. Confirm the specific requirements with the organisation before ordering.
What type of certification should I choose?
The appropriate level depends on the receiving authority and where the translation will be used. Our quote journey provides guidance, but you should confirm whether the recipient requires standard certification, sworn certification, notarisation or legalisation.
How do I get an exact price and delivery estimate?
Use the online quote form and select the document, source language, number of pages and intended use. The estimate updates as you choose the relevant options.
