What Each Service Includes

Choose the level of certification that matches your requirements

Certified Translation

Full translation by a qualified professional plus a signed certificate of accuracy. Accepted by UKVI, the Home Office, and embassies across the world.

Certification / SOT

A separate statement of truth (SOT) certification for documents that have already been translated. Confirms the accuracy of an existing translation.

Notarised Translation

Certified translation with additional attestation by a notary public. Required for certain legal proceedings and official submissions.

Notarised + Apostille

What Affects Certified Translation Cost in the UK

Several factors influence the final price of your certified translation

Document Type & Complexity

A straightforward birth certificate costs less to translate than a technical manual or a multi-page legal contract.

Language Pair

Common languages like Spanish or French are typically more affordable. Rare languages may carry a surcharge.

Turnaround Time

Standard (2-day) is the most economical. Express and same-day services carry a premium for priority handling.

Number of Pages

All our prices are per A4 page, so the total cost scales with the length of your document.

Additional Legalisation

Notarisation, apostille, and sworn translation each add a separate layer of cost depending on your requirements.

Original Document Quality

Clear, legible documents are faster to process. Poor scans or handwritten text may increase turnaround and cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about certified translation pricing in the UK

How much does a certified translation cost in the UK?

Certified translation in the UK typically costs between £25 and £75 per A4 page, depending on the turnaround time you choose. Standard (2-day) certified translations start at £40 per page, express (1-day) at £65, and same-day service at £100. Additional services such as notarisation or apostille carry separate fees.

What is the cheapest certified translation service?

The most affordable option is a standard certified translation with 2-day turnaround at £40 per page. This includes a full translation by a qualified translator, proofreading, and a signed certificate of accuracy. For most Home Office and UKVI applications, this standard service is fully sufficient.

Is there a minimum charge for certified translations?

Yes, most certified translation providers in the UK have a minimum charge equivalent to one page. At Home Office Translator, our minimum charge is £40 for a standard certified translation of a single page. This ensures every translation receives the same level of professional quality and certification, regardless of document length.

Do certified translation prices in the UK include VAT?

Certified translations for personal use (such as immigration documents, birth certificates, and marriage certificates) are generally exempt from VAT. However, business translations may attract VAT at the standard rate. Contact us and we will confirm whether VAT applies to your specific request.

How much does it cost to notarise and apostille a translation?

Notarisation starts at £95 for standard turnaround. If you also need an apostille (required for documents used overseas), the combined notarised + apostille service starts at £185. For documents that also require the original to be processed with the apostille, pricing starts at £365. These prices are per document and cover all FCDO document legalisation fees. For more details, see our apostille translation services.

Can I get a certified translation on the same day?

Yes. Same-day certified translations are available at £100 per page. Simply upload your document and select the same-day option. Your completed certified translation will be emailed to you the same day, typically within hours. Same-day service is available for most common document types and language pairs.

How do I get an accurate quote for my documents?

Upload your document on our website or email it to hello@homeofficetranslator.co.uk. We will review it and send you a confirmed, itemised quote — typically within 30 minutes during business hours. The quote you receive is the price you pay, with no hidden extras. Contact us to get started.

Why are your certified translation prices lower than other providers?

We keep our pricing competitive by focusing on efficiency — a streamlined process, in-house quality systems, and a network of professional translators who work with us directly. This allows us to offer certified translations from £40 per page without compromising on accuracy or Home Office compliance. Every translation still undergoes a full quality check and is backed by our acceptance guarantee.
