Questions people usually ask
What documents do I need to provide?
You need to provide the original documents that require translation.
How long does the process take?
The timeline depends on the document length and complexity; we will provide an estimate.
Is my information kept confidential?
Yes, we prioritize your privacy and confidentiality throughout the process.
Can I request revisions?
Yes, we offer revisions to ensure your satisfaction with the final translation.
What's the difference between certified, notarised, and sworn translation?
A certified translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy and meets the requirements of most UK official bodies. A notarised translation adds verification by a notary public, required by some courts and embassies. A sworn translation is a formal legal declaration by a recognised translator, required by certain countries and courts. We help you identify which level is right for your document and destination.
Can I send a photo from my phone rather than a scanned PDF?
Yes — a clear, well-lit photo is fine. We'll confirm whether it's readable and let you know if a better image is needed before we start. Where a document has text on the reverse, please send both sides.
How much does a certified translation cost?
Yes — a clear, well-lit photo is fine. We'll confirm whether it's readable and let you know if a better image is needed before we start. Where a document has text on the reverse, please send both sides.
Is my document kept confidential?
Yes. Your documents are handled securely and only shared with the translator and reviewer working on your project. We treat personal and legal documents with care and strict confidentiality throughout.
