Certified visa document translation

A certified visa document translation is an official translation of the supporting documents a UK visa or immigration application requires, each with a signed statement confirming it is a true and accurate rendering of the original. At Absolute Translations we translate and certify the documents UK Visas and Immigration asks for, from birth, marriage and death certificates to police certificates, bank statements and academic documents, to the Home Office’s stated certification requirements. Prices start from £29 for a standard document or first page, including the translation, the certification and VAT, and many can be certified the same day.

Visa translation services, Certificate with signed statement and official company stamp.

What’s included in your certified translation

Every certified visa document 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.

Money-back guarantee on Visa translation services accepted by UK authorities and international organisations

Certified to Home Office requirements, guaranteed

Our certified visa document translations are produced to meet the Home Office and UKVI requirement that any document not in English is accompanied by a full certified translation. Applicants and their advisers rely on us for spouse, family, student, skilled worker and visitor visas, and for settlement and citizenship, where a rejected or non-compliant translation can delay an application. Tell us which documents your application needs and we translate and certify them to the required standard, backed by our money-back guarantee.

With over 2000 five Trustpilot reviews our reputation is everything!

UKVI does not just want a translation, it requires the certification to confirm it is accurate, to give the date, and to include the translator’s or company’s details and credentials, and it must be a full translation, not a summary. We produce exactly that on every document, so an application is not delayed or refused because a translation did not meet the Home Office’s stated requirements.

The whole document bundle, consistent and on time

A visa application is a set of documents read together, so we translate and certify the whole bundle and keep your name, dates and places identical across every document, which is exactly what prevents a caseworker querying an apparent mismatch. Because applications run to deadlines, we offer same-day certification on short documents and confirm a delivery date for the set before you order.

Certified visa document 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 document is usually short, most orders sit at the base price. 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, the number of pages and the level of certification. Upload your documents for a fixed quote, or see our certified translation prices for a full breakdown.

Most certified visa document translations are ready within one to two working days, and because the document is usually short, same-day certification is available on request, which matters against an application deadline. We offer both a standard and an express service. When you upload your document, 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 visa document translation at Absolute Translations starts from £29 for a standard document or first page, including the translation, the certification and VAT; longer documents such as bank statements are priced against their length, with additional pages from £26 for most languages. Your final figure depends on the documents and the language pair. Upload the documents for a fixed quote, or first see how our certified pricing works.

Short documents can often be certified the same day on request, and most orders are ready within one to two working days, which matters against an application deadline. For a bundle of documents we confirm a delivery date for the whole set before you order. Tell us your deadline when you upload the documents.

Yes. Our translations are produced to meet the Home Office and UKVI requirement for a full certified translation of any non-English document, with the confirmation of accuracy, date and translator's details UKVI asks for, each carrying our signed statement and stamp. We back it with our money-back guarantee on the certification level we recommend.

UKVI requires a full translation, not a summary, and certification that confirms it is accurate, gives the date, and includes the translator's or company's credentials and contact details. We produce exactly that on every document, so an application is not delayed or refused because a translation did not meet the stated requirements.

Yes, and it is usually better to. We translate and certify the whole bundle, a birth or marriage certificate, a police certificate, bank statements and academic documents, and keep your name, dates and places identical across every one, which prevents a caseworker querying an apparent mismatch between documents.
