Certified wedding certificate translation

A certified wedding certificate translation is an official translation of your wedding certificate, the marriage certificate issued when you marry, accompanied by a signed statement confirming it is a true and accurate rendering of the original. At Absolute Translations we translate and certify wedding and marriage certificates for spouse and settlement visas, a change of name and proof of marriage, for the Home Office and UKVI, HM Passport Office, the General Register Office and universities. Prices start from £29 for a standard document or first page, including the translation, the certification and VAT, and because the certificate is short, many can be certified the same day.

What’s included in your certified translation

Every certified wedding certificate 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.

Wedding Certified translation with signed statement and official company stamp

Accepted by UK authorities and abroad, guaranteed

Our certified wedding certificate translations are produced to be accepted by UK authorities and by many overseas bodies. Couples rely on us for documents going to the Home Office and UKVI for a spouse or partner visa and settlement, HM Passport Office for a passport in a married name, banks and the DVLA for a change of name, and foreign authorities recognising the marriage. 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 maiden and married name

A wedding certificate is the bridge between the name you were born with and your married name, so the translation must make that link unmistakable. We reproduce both spouses’ names exactly as they appear, along with the date and place of the wedding, the registrar or officiant and any reference numbers, and where it helps we add a short translator’s note linking the maiden and married name, so a visa, passport or bank name-change application reads consistently against your other documents.

Wedding certificates used abroad

If your marriage needs to be recognised abroad, or you are applying for a spousal visa 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 Hague Convention country we can arrange an apostille, from £85, and for others consular legalisation. Tell us the destination country and we confirm which level of legalisation it requires before we begin.

What a certified wedding certificate translation costs

Certified wedding certificate 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 wedding certificate for a fixed quote, or see our certified translation prices for a full breakdown.

How fast can you get it?

Most certified wedding certificate translations are ready within one to two working days, and because the document is usually short, same-day certification is available on request. 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.
