Certified deed poll translation

A certified deed poll translation is an official translation of a deed poll, the legal document that evidences a change of name, accompanied by a signed statement confirming it is a true and accurate rendering of the original. At Absolute Translations we translate and certify deed polls for updating documents in the UK and abroad, and we translate foreign change-of-name documents for use in the UK, for the Passport Office, DVLA, banks, employers and overseas authorities. Prices start from £29 for a standard document or first page, including the translation, the certification and VAT, and because a deed poll is usually short, many can be certified the same day.

Certified deed poll translation with signed statement and official company stamp

What’s included in your certified translation

Every certified deed poll translation includes the translation itself and a signed, dated statement confirming it is a true and accurate translation, carrying our name and contact details, together with our official company stamp on our letterhead. That signed statement, not the stamp alone, is what UK authorities look for. We are an established UK translation company, the first in the UK to achieve ISO 17100, with over twenty years of experience translating official and legal documents. You receive a copy by email, and we can also send a posted certified copy where the receiving authority does not accept a digital certification. Every document is handled securely and in line with GDPR.

Accepted for your change of name, guaranteed 

Our certified deed poll translations are produced to be accepted by UK authorities and by many overseas bodies. People rely on us when a deed poll or a foreign change-of-name document must be recognised so records can be updated, for a passport or driving licence in the new name, for banks and employers, and for authorities abroad that need proof the name was changed lawfully. Tell us which body will receive the translation and we recommend and set the right level of certification, including an apostille where the document is used abroad, backed by our money-back guarantee.

Linking your old and new name across your documents

The whole purpose of a deed poll is to connect your previous name to your new one, so the translation must make that link unmistakable. We reproduce both the old and the new name exactly as they appear, along with the date the change took effect and any witnessing detail, and where the deed poll is submitted alongside a passport, birth certificate or other document still in the old name, we can add a short translator’s note tying the two identities together, so a receiving body updates your records without a query.

Deed polls used abroad

If your change of name needs to be recognised in another country, the receiving authority often asks for the certified translation to be legalised as well as certified. Where the document is going to a country in the Hague Convention we can arrange an apostille, from £85, which covers the FCDO legalisation fee and secure courier; for other countries we can arrange consular legalisation through the relevant embassy. Tell us the destination country and we confirm which level of legalisation it requires before we begin.

What a certified deed poll translation costs

Certified deed poll translation starts from £29 for a standard document or first page, including the translation, the certification and VAT; additional pages, where needed, are from £26 for most languages. Because the deed poll is short, most orders sit at the base price. If the document is going abroad, an apostille, from £85, legalises it for use in another Hague Convention country. Your exact price depends on the language pair and the level of certification. Upload your deed poll for a fixed quote, or see our certified translation prices for a full breakdown.

How fast can you get it?

Most certified deed poll translations are ready within one to two working days, and because the document is short, same-day certification is available on request. We offer a standard and an express service; the turnaround reflects the language pair and the level of certification. When you upload your deed poll, tell us your deadline and whether it is for a UK application or for use abroad.
