What is a certified translation in London?
A certified translation is a professionally completed translation supplied with a signed statement confirming that it is a true and accurate translation of the original document. It normally includes the certification date and the translator’s or agency’s name, signature and contact details so the work can be independently verified.
For UK visa submissions, current government guidance requires a full translation with confirmation of accuracy, the date, the translator’s full name and signature, and contact details. Requirements can differ for courts, universities, embassies and overseas authorities, so the receiving organisation’s instructions should always be checked.

Document Translation Services for Official Use
TS24 London prepares certified translations for personal, legal, immigration, academic and business matters. The aim is not only to translate the wording, but to create a clear, complete document that a reviewer can compare with the original.
Every visible and meaningful part of the source is considered, including headings, registration numbers, stamps, seals, signatures, handwritten notes and annotations. Names, dates and reference numbers receive additional checks because small inconsistencies can delay an application or create unnecessary queries.
Support is available for translations from foreign languages into English and from English into other languages. Where the receiving organisation asks for notarisation, sworn translation or apostille-related support, the correct route can be confirmed before the project starts.

How the Certified Translation Process Works
Send your document
Upload a full, readable scan or photograph and say which organisation will receive the translation.
Receive a clear quote
The document, language pair, certification level and deadline are reviewed before pricing is confirmed.
Translation and checks
A professional linguist translates the document, followed by checks for completeness and consistency.
Certification and delivery
The certification is added and the completed file is delivered in the agreed digital or printed format.
Checks Completed Before Delivery
Official document translation requires more than fluent wording. It also requires disciplined handling of the data and visual elements that identify the document.
- Every page is checked against the files supplied.
- Names are compared carefully with the source spelling.
- Dates, amounts, reference numbers and registration entries are reviewed.
- Stamps, seals, signatures and legible handwritten notes are accounted for.
- Repeated terms are kept consistent across multi-document packs.
- The certification and contact details are checked before release.
Pricing, Turnaround and Delivery Options
What affects the price?
Language pair, word count or page type, document complexity, formatting, certification level, scan quality and required turnaround.
How is the deadline confirmed?
The document is reviewed first. Standard and urgent options can then be offered according to linguist availability and project complexity.
How is the translation delivered?
A certified PDF can be sent electronically. Signed, stamped or printed hard copies can be arranged when the receiving authority asks for them.
For the fastest accurate quote, send:
- a clear image of every page, including the reverse where relevant;
- the source and target languages;
- the name of the authority, university, solicitor or organisation receiving it;
- your required deadline;
- whether you need a digital file, printed copy or both.
Certified, Notarised or Sworn Translation?
Example: A London Visa Application Document Pack
Documents supplied
A birth certificate, marriage certificate, bank statement and employment letter in two source languages.
Project requirements
Consistent spelling of names, complete translation of stamps and annotations, UKVI certification details and files labelled clearly for upload.
Final delivery
Separate certified PDFs in the correct order, with a printed pack arranged only if the applicant’s process requires hard copies.
This pack-based approach helps avoid inconsistencies between documents and gives the applicant a clearer set of files to submit. It does not replace checking the latest requirements for the specific visa route.
