Marriage Certificate Translation UK

A marriage certificate translation is the process of translating the text on a marriage certificate from one language to another. This is typically required for official purposes when couples are dealing with matters such as visa applications, immigration, or divorce proceedings.

While you may be able to translate the document yourself, self-translated documents are generally not accepted for official purposes. It’s important to have your marriage certificate translated by a qualified professional to ensure it is accepted by legal and government authorities.

Yes! Our marriage certificate translations in the UK are widely accepted by HM Passport Office, UK Visas and Immigration, consulates and embassies, foreign governments, and banks. 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.

We charge per page and our pricing is always transparent and upfront. Certified translations of marriage 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 marriage certificates may take longer due to the steps involved.

The certified translation of your marriage 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 only require a clear scanned copy or photo so please do not send the original wedding certificate to us by post.

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.

Absolutely, our translators and staff are bound by strict confidentiality agreements, ensuring that your personal details are never disclosed to third parties. We also have secure data handling and storage protocols in place to protect your information from unauthorised access or breaches. From the moment we receive your document to the delivery of the translated certificate, every step is designed to safeguard your privacy.

We offer wedding 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.

We are required to translate the wedding certificate exactly as it is, so please review it for errors or missing information before placing an order with us.
