Certified

In the United Kingdom, translations of official documents usually have to be certified. This means that the translated document has to be accompanied by a signed statement from a qualified translator or translation agency. The statement affirms that the translated document is a true and accurate translation of the original document. All our certified translations come with this statement.

Some marriage certificate translations may need to be legalised or notarised. Please check with the organisation you need them for (such as the passport office) to be sure of which level of certification you need. Find out more about certified, legalised and notarised translations. If you’re still not sure, give us a call and we can help you figure it out.

“There were continued adventures with solicitors and visas right up to 9pm the night before the wedding – but we eventually got there! We are married and very happy – thanks to you! I’d love to be able to say thank you by letting you share our story – you were amazing beyond words and I’m very happy to shout about that.”

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Upon delivery of your certified translation, we will confirm the following in writing:

  • that it’s a ‘true and accurate translation of the original document’
  • the date of the death certificate translation
  • the full name and contact details of our translation company

We work in over 300 languages, so we’ll likely be able to help you. The languages from which we translate most frequently include French, German, Italian and Spanish.

A scan or a high-quality photo should usually be enough for certified or notarised translation. If you require a legalised (apostilled) translation then we do require the original hard copy. You can send it via email or using our quote form. Our postal address is on our contact page.

Two business days is our standard turnaround time for certified marriage certificate translation, but please contact us as soon as possible if a faster turnaround is required. Depending on language combination and translator availability, we may be able to accommodate your needs sooner.

Need a notarised or legalised (apostilled) translation? Contact us for turnaround times.

Our standard certification package comes to £79 (£94.80 incl. VAT).

Once you have received our quote and are happy to proceed, let us know and we will provide you with details to arrange a BACS transfer, before making a start on your translation.

You will be emailed a scanned copy of your certified translation before the hard copies are sent to you in the post.

Your certified marriage certificate translation will include the following:

  • Certification letter
  • Source document
  • Translated document

A certified translation is signed and stamped by us at Atlas Translations, certifying that the translation is true and accurate.

A notarised translation is signed and stamped by us as well as by a public notary.

A legalised (or apostilled) translation is signed and stamped by us, a public notary, and the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO).

If you’ve only been asked for a “certified translation”, you probably won’t need either of these additional steps.

Documents that are not in English or Welsh generally need a fully certified translation when submitted to the UKVI. This can include birth and marriage certificates, police records, qualifications and bank statements. Requirements can vary depending on your application, so always check the current UKVI guidance before submitting your documents.
