Certification Levels

Certified vs Notarised vs Apostilled

Most clients simply need a certified translation. Sometimes, you may be asked for an extra step. Here’s what each means.

Certified Translation

The standard requirement for most UK applications. Includes a certification statement, translator details, and verification contact.

Notarised Translation

An additional verification step, often requested for certain legal or overseas uses. We can advise if this applies to your case.

Apostille / Legalisation

Typically needed when your translated document will be used abroad, or when an authority specifically asks for it.

Tell us where the document will be submitted and we’ll guide you to the most appropriate option — so you don’t pay for extras you don’t need.

Common Issues

What Causes Delays (And How We Prevent Them)

We’ve seen it all. Here are the most common problems and exactly how we handle them to keep your application on track.

Missing Stamps or Unclear Names

Small issues on marriage certificates — missing stamps, unclear names, inconsistent dates — can cause delays.

Religious vs Civil Certificates

Religious marriage certificates (e.g., nikah nama) often contain bilingual text, stamps, and handwritten entries that are hard to read.

Different Name Spellings

Your marriage certificate spelling differs from your passport, application form, or other documents.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We’ve got answers. Here are the most common questions about our certified marriage certificate translation service.

Do I need a certified marriage certificate translation for UKVI?

If your marriage certificate is not in English (or Welsh), you’ll normally need a certified translation when submitting it for immigration or visa-related purposes. A properly certified translation helps avoid delays and follow-up requests from UKVI.

What does a certified translation of marriage certificate include?

A certified translation typically includes the full translation plus a certification statement, the date, the translator sign-off, and verification contact details. We include these as standard with every order.

Can I translate my own marriage certificate and certify it?

Most official processes expect a professionally prepared translation with appropriate certification details. Self-translations can be questioned or rejected, especially for formal applications like spouse visas or settlement.

How long does a marriage certificate translation take?

Turnaround depends on urgency and language pair. Many marriage certificates are completed quickly, and urgent options may be available including same-day/24-hour delivery. Send your document and deadline for the fastest accurate recommendation.

Do you translate religious marriage certificates (e.g., Nikah Nama)?

Yes. We handle civil and religious formats, including certificates that contain stamps, handwritten notes, and bilingual layouts. We’re experienced with certificates from a wide range of countries and religious traditions.

What's the difference between certified, notarised, and apostilled?

A certified translation is the standard requirement for most UK applications. Notarised adds a verification step for certain legal uses. Apostille/legalisation is needed when your translated document will be used abroad. Tell us where you’re submitting and we’ll advise the right level for your case.
