Most translation agencies ask you to take their credentials on trust. Ours are on the public record. Our ITI Corporate Membership can be checked directly with the Institute of Translation and Interpreting, not just displayed as a badge on a website.

We're a working agency based in Isleworth, West London, not a call centre or a reseller passing your document along a chain. If you'd rather speak to someone before sending anything, we're happy to get on a call.

URGENT

Working to a tight deadline?

Delivery depends on the length and type of document, and urgent requests are welcome.

Urgent service carries a surcharge based on length and complexity. Tell us your deadline when you send your document and we'll confirm cost and feasibility before you commit to anything.

Sending a document

  1. Photograph in good, even light, no shadows or glare across the page.
  2. Lay the document flat, not held at an angle, with all four corners in frame.
  3. Multi-page documents: one clear photo per page, not a single shot of a stack.
  4. A clear photo or a PDF both work. Avoid a screenshot of a photo — it loses quality.

If anything isn't legible, we'll say so straight away so you can resend before work starts.

Questions

What is a certified translation?

A signed statement confirming the translation is a true and accurate rendering of the original. The UK has no government-issued certification — the translator or agency provides the declaration directly.

Are you actually ITI Corporate Members?

Yes — No. 00030335, checkable directly at iti.org.uk. We'd rather you verify it than take our word for it.

Do you use AI or machine translation?

No. Every document is translated by a qualified human linguist and reviewed by a second professional before delivery.

Do I need to visit in person?

No. Documents are accepted by WhatsApp or email. A hard copy can be posted on request.

Are your certified translations accepted by the Home Office and UKVI?

Yes. Our certified translations meet Home Office requirements for visa, settlement, citizenship and marriage applications. Each one includes a signed statement of accuracy, the translator's credentials, our company details and our ITI Corporate Membership number (00030335). They are also accepted by UK courts, universities and UK ENIC.

Do you translate legal documents for solicitors and courts in London?

Yes. Legal translation is one of our core specialisms. We regularly translate witness statements, contracts, court orders, evidence and litigation documents for London law firms. Every translation is done by a qualified human legal linguist and checked by a second professional.

Where can I get legal documents translated in London?

Every legal translation is done by a qualified human linguist, checked by a second professional and certified for use in UK courts. Send your documents by WhatsApp or email for a free quote.

Can you translate witness statements and evidence for court?

Yes. We translate witness statements, exhibits and disclosure documents, and transcribe and translate audio and video evidence. Each translation comes with a signed certificate of accuracy and our ITI Corporate Membership number, ready for your court bundle. See our evidence translation page.

Do you work with London law firms on litigation and due diligence?

Yes. Law firms use us for litigation, arbitration, due diligence and regulatory matters, from single documents to large multilingual files. We match each project with a linguist experienced in the legal field. Every document is kept confidential and deleted after delivery and payment, and we carry Hiscox professional indemnity insurance.

Is TranslationsInLondon a London-based certified translation company?

Yes. We are an independent certified translation and interpreting agency in Old Isleworth, West London (Company No. 07320896, ITI Corporate Member No. 00030335), certifying documents for the Home Office, UKVI, UK courts and universities with human translators only.

How much does a certified translation cost in London?

Most standard certified documents, such as birth, marriage or divorce certificates, cost between £29 and £60. Send us a photo or PDF by WhatsApp or email for an exact quote.

Which languages do you certify?

We provide certified translations in more than 220 languages, including all major European, Asian and Middle Eastern languages, plus rarer languages many agencies cannot cover.

What is the difference between certified, notarised and apostilled translations?

A certified translation carries a signed statement of accuracy from the translator or agency, and is enough for the Home Office, UKVI, UK courts and most universities. A notarised translation adds a notary public's confirmation of the translator's identity and signature, which some foreign authorities and overseas courts ask for. An apostille is a certificate from the UK Foreign Office (FCDO) that legalises a notarised document for use abroad. We work with a partner notary public, so we can handle certification, notarisation and apostille for you in one order.

Do I need to send you my original document?

No. A clear photo or PDF of every page is enough. Send it by WhatsApp or email. You keep your original to submit with the translation.

Can I translate my own documents for a visa application?

Usually not. The Home Office expects a translation from an independent professional translator or agency, with their full name, contact details, a statement of accuracy, the date and a signature. Translations by the applicant or a family member are often rejected.

What does the Home Office require on a certified translation?

The Home Office requires confirmation that the translation is accurate, the date, the translator's full name and signature, and their contact details. Every TranslationsInLondon certified translation includes all of these, plus our company stamp and ITI membership number.

Will my certified translation be accepted by HM Passport Office, universities or the NHS?

Yes. Our certified translations are regularly accepted by UK government departments, universities, employers, banks and healthcare providers. If the receiving organisation has special requirements, send them to us and we will check before we start.

Do you translate certificates from Persian, Arabic, Urdu, Polish and other languages?

Yes. We regularly certify birth, marriage, divorce and police certificates from languages including Persian (Farsi), Arabic, Urdu, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Chinese, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. Each one is translated by a native-speaking linguist and checked by a second professional.

Do you translate diplomas and transcripts for UK university applications?

Yes. We provide certified translations of diplomas, degree certificates and academic transcripts for UK university admissions and UK ENIC. A diploma or degree certificate costs from £29, and transcripts are priced by the number of pages.

Can you translate my driving licence for the DVLA?

Yes. If the DVLA, an insurer or an employer asks for an English translation of your foreign driving licence, we provide a certified translation from £29. Any supporting documents are quoted separately.
