What's realistic — and what isn't

Understanding when certified translations are sufficient is crucial.
When Certified Translation is Enough
A certified death certificate translation is often sufficient for probate and estate matters.
It is typically accepted by UK authorities for official submissions.
It can be used for cross-border estate matters and overseas property issues.
It is necessary for submissions to embassies or consulates.
It is essential when dealing with jurisdictions that have strict document rules.
When You May Need More
In some cases, notarisation, sworn translation, or apostille/legalisation may be required.
This is common for documents used outside the UK or for cross-border estate matters.
Legalisation verifies the authenticity of a signature or seal on an official document.
If unsure about the required certification level, we can assist in identifying the best route.
Contact us to clarify what level of certification is needed for your documents.
