For official use, the translation should be complete and accompanied by appropriate certification details confirming its accuracy and identifying the translator or provider. The exact requirement can depend on the receiving organisation and document type.
Do I need to send the original document?
In many cases a clear scan or photograph is enough to begin the translation. If an original, hard copy or additional authentication is needed for your specific requirement, that can be confirmed before the job is processed.
Can you translate certificates, passports and academic documents?
Yes. The service covers a wide range of personal, immigration, academic, legal, financial and business documents. The documents hub is the quickest way to browse the main categories.
Can notarisation or apostille support be arranged?
Additional authentication can be relevant for some uses. Where required, notarisation or apostille support can be discussed alongside the translation requirement.
How do I place an order?
Use the direct-order page, upload the source document and provide the key details about the translation you need.
