Birth Certificate Translation UK

Birth certificate translation services are specialised services provided by professional translation companies to accurately translate birth certificates from one language to another. These services ensure that the translation is certified, meaning it comes with a signed statement by the translator or translation agency guaranteeing the accuracy and completeness of the translation. This certification is often required when the translated document is to be used for official purposes, such as immigration, visa applications, international education enrollment, legal proceedings, or any other situation where an official record of birth is necessary.

Yes, our birth certificate translations in the UK are widely accepted by all companies and government departments, including UK Visas and Immigration, HM Passport Office, consulates and embassies, foreign governments, banks, and academic institutions. When we send the translated documents, we will provide a Certificate of Translation Accuracy, which will:
• state that it's a 'true and accurate translation of the original document'
• state the full name and contact details of a representative of the translation company (not the translator)
• include the translation stamp and credentials of our translation company.
This fulfils the requirements of certified translations in the UK.

No, you cannot translate your own birth certificate for official use. Translations must be performed by a certified translator who is not related to you. This ensures impartiality and meets the requirements of most official entities, such as government agencies, educational institutions, and legal bodies.

We charge per page and our pricing is always transparent and upfront. Certified translations of birth certificates usually take 1-2 working days to complete, but we also offer an expedited service for clients who require same-day service. Notarised or legalised / apostilled translations of birth certificates may take longer due to the steps involved.

The certified translation of your birth certificate will be sent to you electronically as a PDF file via email. If a physical copy is required, you have the option of printing the PDF document and it will be considered as an original copy. However, please ensure that you print the translated documents in colour. This will help distinguish them from photocopies and avoid any potential confusion. If you have requested sworn, notarised or apostilled translations, they will be sent to you by post.

We do not require the original birth certificate to be sent to us by post. Instead, please send us a scanned copy or photo by email, or upload them by visiting our get a quote page.

If you don’t have a scanner, you can take a high-quality picture of your document with your smartphone or camera and upload it to our website.

We take your privacy seriously. All our translators sign confidentiality agreements, and we have secure systems in place to handle sensitive information. Your documents are only accessible to the professionals directly involved in the translation process.

We offer birth certificate translation services in over 120 languages, including French, Spanish, Italian, German, Polish, Turkish, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Russian, and Arabic. If you would like to know whether we support a particular language, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Before placing an order with us, please ensure that the birth certificate is error-free and does not have missing information. We are obligated to translate the birth certificate exactly as it is, even if there are mistakes.
