What Is Certified Translation in London?

A certified translation is a translated document accompanied by a signed statement from the translator confirming it is a complete and accurate translation of the original. Required for all official UK submissions.

Certified, Notarised or Sworn Translation — What Do You Need?

These three terms are often confused. Here's what each means in the UK and which one you need.

Via notary partnership

Notarised Translation

A certified translation that has been witnessed and authenticated by a UK notary public. Required for use in certain foreign countries and international legal proceedings.

  • Use abroad (EU countries, international)
  • International legal proceedings
  • Apostille applications
  • Foreign company registration

Sworn Translation

A concept from civil law countries — Spain, France, Italy, Germany. The UK does not have sworn translators. We provide a certified or notarised equivalent that meets the same requirements.

  • Required by some EU country authorities
