About Our Certified translation Services
Certified documents are often required for visa applications, courts, university applications, and more.
A certified translation is a translated document that is signed, stamped, and dated by an authorised, professional translator. Certifying a translation means that the translator attests that it is a complete and accurate representation of the original document.
To be considered “complete”, certified translations must be literal, word-for-word translations. Our team doesn’t add or remove any text. They are sure to translate exactly what is written on the page.
To be considered “accurate”, translations can only be carried out by professional, human translators who are fluent in both the source and target language. At Global Language Services, our translations are carried out by real people, never a machine.
To ensure your translation is accepted, we ensure it looks professional and provide supplementary information to prove the translation has been carried out in line with the proper certified translation guidelines.

Frequently asked questions
Please speak to us directly for questions about your specific translation needs. Here are some general FAQs that might be of help to you.
You cannot certify a translated document yourself. You need to have it certified by a professional translator who is recognised by a national translation body like the Institute of Translation and Interpreting or the Chartered Institute of Linguists.
In the UK, certifying translated documents can only be done by professional translators who are recognised by a national translation body like the Institute of Translation and Interpreting or the Chartered Institute of Linguists.
This depends on the translation agency and the length of the document. In the UK, the average cost ranges from £0.10 to £0.16 per word. One page is defined as 250 words, so this can cost between £25 to £40. For exact pricing, please reach out to Global Language Services directly for a quote.
Certified translations must follow different rules to regular translations. They must be word-for-word translations, so the translator must not put their own spin on things to make it sound better in the target language. Certified translations have been certified by an officially authorised translator to say that they are a complete and accurate representation of the contents of the original source.
This depends on the document length and the agency. At Global Languages, if your document is less than 2,000 words, we may be able to expedite the process and have a turnaround of 1 working day. Reach out to us for an exact timeline of when to expect the work to be completed.
