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.
Certified Translation
A statement of accuracy signed by the translator or agency confirming the translation is complete and correct. This is what the Home Office, UKVI and most UK official bodies require.
- Home Office & UKVI applications
- UK court submissions
- University admissions
- Professional registration (GMC, NMC, SRA)
We offer this directly
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
