Translation Across European, Asian and Global Languages
Home Office Translator supports documents written in a broad range of European, Middle Eastern, South Asian, East Asian and other international languages. For UK submissions, a common requirement is translation from another language into English. For Thai-language documents, see our certified Thai translation service for Thai-to-English official-document translation.
Language-specific certified services are also available for Mandarin Chinese, Portuguese, Armenian, Ukrainian, Persian / Farsi and Hebrew official-document translation.
Native-language service information is also available in Urdu, Albanian and Dari.
Translation from English into another language may also be available for selected language pairs when documents are being used overseas. Tell us where the document will be submitted so the appropriate language direction and certification route can be checked. For Lithuanian translation, including Lithuanian-to-English and English-to-Lithuanian requests, send the document and destination so the required direction can be confirmed.

Frequently asked questions
Questions About Languages and Certified Translation
Practical answers about supported languages, certification, document requirements, deadlines and pricing.
Which languages do you translate?
The directory lists more than 50 commonly requested languages, including Arabic, Bengali, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Italian, Mandarin Chinese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, Ukrainian and Urdu. Contact us when your language is not listed.
Can you translate my document into English for a Home Office or UKVI application?
Yes, subject to confirmation of the language pair, document condition and deadline. Many UK applications require a complete English translation with appropriate certification details.
Do you translate from English into other languages?
English-to-other-language translation may be available for selected language pairs. Tell us the destination country and receiving authority because overseas requirements can differ.
What information should I provide when ordering?
- A clear copy of every relevant page
- The source and target languages
- The receiving authority
- Your required delivery date
- Preferred passport spellings for names
- Any instructions supplied by the receiving organisation
Do I need a sworn or notarised translation for the Home Office?
In many Home Office and UKVI cases, a properly certified translation is sufficient. Sworn translation and notarisation are separate services and should be ordered when specifically requested.
Can documents be translated urgently?
Same-day or next-day options may be available depending on the language pair, length, legibility, complexity and translator availability. Send the complete document and exact deadline for review.
Do I need to send the original document?
A clear scan, photograph or PDF is usually enough for translation. The receiving authority may separately require you to present or submit the original document.
How much does multilingual translation cost?
Pricing can depend on the language pair, amount of text, complexity, certification level and deadline. Submit readable copies for a confirmed price or review the current translation pricing.
