Great Service, Quick Turnaround, Positive Experience
Great, responsive communication from Melis at Absolute Translations. As I'm on a v. limited budget, I chose to translate the document in question myself (being fluent in both languages). Absolute were happy to proof and certify my translation, no quibbles, allowing me to remain solvent! I am very grateful for the service that was provided; quick turnaround and I was able to collect in person at their London offices. Now, let's hope HM Gov accept!

Exceptional Service at a Great Price!
I had a fantastic experience with Absolute Translations. They were incredibly helpful and responsive in catering to my translation needs. Not only did they provide a professional translation promptly, but they also managed to notarise my documentation in a very short time, which saved me a lot of stress. On top of that, the cost was quite reasonable compared to other translation services I looked into. Their service was efficient, reliable, and highly professional throughout. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality translations or notarisation services.

Excellent translation of Greek Will at fair price
Marta Silva was incredibly helpful in providing a speedy and urgent translation of a Greek will so that we could apply for Probate of an estate in the UK. The translation was produced within 24 hours of instruction and was very professionally carried out with a Statement form the official translator. Despite additions Marta honoured the original quote. Will definitely use them again.
