What Is Certified Translation in London?

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)
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, Brazil, Portugal etc.)
- International legal proceedings
- Apostille applications
- Foreign company registration
Sworn Translation
A concept from civil law countries — Portugal, Spain, France, Brazil, Italy. The UK does not have sworn translators. If a foreign authority requires a sworn translation, we can provide a certified or notarised translation that meets equivalent requirements.
- Required by Portuguese authorities
- Required by Brazilian authorities
- Apostille + notarisation included
