Certified document translation in London — plainly, accurately, on time.

Our London office sits a few minutes from East Ham station, but the work itself stretches across the capital. On a typical Tuesday we might translate a Polish marriage certificate for a couple in Ealing, an Arabic university transcript for a UCAS deadline in Bloomsbury, a Mandarin lease agreement for a property solicitor in the City, and a Spanish driving licence for someone moving over from Madrid. Different paperwork, same standard.

We are a small, deliberately specialised team — career translators rather than admin staff with Google Translate open in another tab. Every linguist we work with translates exclusively into their mother tongue and holds either a postgraduate translation qualification, full membership of the Chartered Institute of Linguists (CIOL) or the Institute of Translation and Interpreting (ITI), or comparable accreditation in the country where the language originates. That is the floor, not the ceiling.

Every certified translation we send out is bilingually checked by a second translator before it leaves the office — that is what the ISO 17100:2015 standard insists on, and we treat it as non-negotiable. The result you receive carries our company stamp, the translator’s signature, our certificate of accuracy and our full London contact details, exactly as required by the Home Office, UKVI, HM Passport Office, HM Courts & Tribunals Service, the General Medical Council and UK universities.

Three Things We Do,
Done Properly.

Certified translation, legal & corporate translation, and website localisation — handled by London-based project managers and native-speaker translators worldwide.

What Londoners Say
About Working With Us.

A handful of unedited Google reviews from clients in different boroughs and different lines of work.

★★★★★

We brought in this team for a two-day assignment — our client needed an interpreter throughout, and they delivered without a single issue. Punctual, professional, and the interpreter handled some fairly technical legal discussion without missing a beat. We’ll be using them again.

JB

John Black Solicitors

★★★★★

I needed an Urdu interpreter at short notice for an immigration hearing. Not easy to sort at the last minute, but they had someone confirmed within a few hours and he was excellent — calm, accurate, and knew the legal terminology. Genuinely took the stress out of a difficult day.

IH

Iqbal Hussain

Business Client, East London

★★★★★

English is not my first language and the legal process here was quite confusing. The interpreter was patient — not just translating words but actually making sure I understood what was going on. The price was fair, no surprises at the end. I would use them again without hesitation.

Things London clients
ask us most often.

Yes. Every certified translation we issue carries a signed statement of truth, our company stamp, the translator’s credentials and our full London contact details — exactly what the Home Office, UKVI and HM Courts & Tribunals Service require. The certified format we use is the standard accepted by all major UK authorities.

Standard certified document translation starts at £25 per page for short certificates such as birth, marriage or death. Academic transcripts begin at £30; legal contracts from £35 per page. Express 24-hour and same-day services carry a small surcharge. We send a fixed quote — no hidden fees — within 30 minutes of your enquiry.

Most short documents (one to three pages) are returned within 3 to 5 working days at standard pace. Express turnaround is 24 hours, and same-day service is available before 11am for urgent UKVI or court deadlines. Larger projects are scheduled around your timeline, not ours.

We serve every London borough — from East Ham and Stratford in the east, through the City and Westminster, to Hammersmith, Ealing and Wimbledon in the west. Most certified translations are delivered digitally with optional hard-copy posted by Royal Mail Tracked. Our office in East Ham (E6 2JA) accepts collection by appointment.

Over 200 languages including Arabic, Urdu, Polish, Romanian, Bengali, Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin, Cantonese, Turkish, Farsi, Somali, Tigrinya, Pashto, Albanian, Russian, French, German, Italian, Greek and many more. If your language is rare, ring us — we almost certainly have a vetted native translator in our London network.

Yes. We operate under the ISO 17100:2015 standard, which means every translation is performed by a qualified native translator and independently revised by a second linguist before delivery. This is the international quality benchmark for translation services and we audit it internally each quarter.

Absolutely. Every translator and project manager has signed a strict Non-Disclosure Agreement, and we are fully GDPR-compliant. Files are transferred over encrypted channels, stored securely, and deleted on request after the project closes. Our work routinely covers divorce papers, medical histories, witness statements and corporate M&A material.
