Certified birth certificate translation

A certified birth certificate translation is an official translation of your certificate, accompanied by a signed statement confirming it is a true and accurate rendering of the original. At Absolute Translations we translate and certify birth certificates for use with UK and overseas authorities, including the Home Office and UKVI, the Passport Office, the DVLA and UK universities. Prices start from £29 per document, including the translation, the certification and VAT, and because a birth certificate is usually a single page, many can be certified the same day.

Certified Birth certificate translation with signed statement and official company stamp

What's included in your certified birth certificate translation

Every certified birth certificate translation includes the translation itself, a signed and dated certification statement on our letterhead, and our official company stamp, which is what makes it a certified translation the authorities accept. We are an established UK translation company, the first in the UK to achieve ISO 17100, with over twenty years of experience translating certificates for individuals across the UK. You receive a copy by email, and we also send a posted certified copy, because not all authorities accept a digital email certification. Every document is handled securely and in line with GDPR.

Money-back guarantee on professionally translated birth certificates accepted by UK authorities.

Accepted by UK authorities, guaranteed

Our certified birth certificate translations are produced to be accepted by UK authorities, including the Home Office and UKVI for immigration and visa applications, the Passport Office for a new or renewed passport, the DVLA for a driving licence, UK universities for admissions, and HM Courts where a certificate is needed for probate or an adoption case. Tell us which body will receive the translation and we recommend and set the right level of certification. We then back that recommendation with a money-back guarantee: if you take the option we recommend and the receiving authority does not accept it, or later changes what it requires, we will either put it right at no cost or refund you in full, provided we have the authority's decision in writing.

With over 2000 five Trustpilot reviews our reputation is everything!

A birth certificate carries more identifying detail, names, dates of birth, places of birth and parents' names, than almost any other document we certify, and getting every element right matters because passport, visa and Home Office applications can be delayed or rejected over a mismatched name. We reproduce every name, date and place name exactly as it appears on the original, including handwritten registrar entries, official seals and stamps, and we flag anything illegible rather than guess at it. Many countries also issue both a short-form extract and a full or long-form certificate showing parents' details; some UK and overseas bodies specifically require the full form, so tell us which type you have and we will confirm it is the right version before we translate it.

What a certified birth certificate translation costs

Certified birth certificate translation starts from £29 per document, including the translation, the certification and VAT; because a birth certificate is normally a single page, most orders do not carry an additional-page charge, and extra pages, where needed, are from £26. If notarisation is required, our in-house notary usually completes this the same day; an apostille, from £85, legalises the document for use in another Hague Convention country. Your exact price depends on the language pair and the level of certification. Upload your birth certificate for a fixed quote, or see our certified translation prices for a full breakdown.

Most certified birth certificate translations are ready within one to two working days, and because a birth certificate is usually just one page, same-day certification is available on request more often than for longer documents. We offer both a standard and an express service; when you upload your certificate, tell us your deadline and we will confirm a delivery date before you order.

We were the first UK translation company to achieve ISO 17100 accreditation, and we also hold ISO 9001, ISO 18841 and ISO 18587. We are members of the ATC and EUATC, GDPR-compliant with independently regulated security systems, and a Goldman Sachs 10KSB member. We have worked for organisations including the UK government and the NHS, and we are rated Excellent on Trustpilot, with 2,500+ reviews. We are also carbon negative, a step beyond carbon neutral.

Certified birth certificate translation at Absolute Translations starts from £29 per document, including the translation, the certification and VAT. Because a birth certificate is normally a single page, most orders do not carry an additional-page charge; extra pages, where needed, are from £26. Your final price depends on the language pair and whether you also need notarisation or an apostille. Upload your birth certificate for a fixed quote, or first see how our certified pricing works.

Most certified birth certificate translations are ready within one to two working days. Because a birth certificate is usually a single page, same-day certification is available more often for this document than for longer, multi-page records such as court bundles. Turnaround still depends on the language pair and whether notarisation or an apostille is also needed. Tell us your deadline when you upload the certificate and we will confirm a delivery date before you order.

Yes. Our certified birth certificate translations are produced to be accepted by UK authorities including the Home Office and UKVI, the Passport Office, the DVLA and UK universities, and by HM Courts where a certificate supports probate or an adoption case. Each carries our signed certification statement and official company stamp. We back it with a money-back guarantee: take the certification level we recommend and, if the receiving authority does not accept it in writing, we will put it right at no cost or refund you in full.

Every name, date and place name on your birth certificate is reproduced exactly as it appears on the original, including any handwritten registrar entries, official seals and stamps; anything illegible is marked as such rather than guessed at. This matters more for a birth certificate than for most documents, because passport, visa and Home Office applications can be delayed or rejected over a mismatched name. If your name is spelled differently on another document you are submitting alongside it, tell us and we can add a translator's note explaining the discrepancy.

It depends on the receiving authority. Many countries issue both a short-form extract and a full or long-form certificate that includes parents' details, and some UK and overseas bodies, particularly for passport, visa and citizenship applications, specifically require the full form showing parentage. Tell us which type you have when you upload it, and which authority the translation is for, and we will confirm whether it is the right version before we translate and certify it.
