Important

These are starting prices rather than an automatic total for every file. Multi-page documents, dense text, handwriting, difficult formatting, unclear scans and additional certification requirements can affect the confirmed quotation.

What will it cost?
From £40 per page for standard certified translation. Your exact total is confirmed after document review.

Prices depend on the document, not just the page count

A short certificate with a small number of fields can require less work than a densely written statement, legal record or multi-column document. Reviewing the complete file allows the correct price and turnaround to be confirmed before work begins.

How your quote is calculated

What affects certified translation cost?

Two documents with the same number of pages can require different amounts of translation, checking and formatting work.

01

Language pair

Availability can differ between common and less frequently requested language combinations.

02

Amount of text

A page containing a few standard fields requires less work than a densely written statement, report or legal document.

03

Document condition

Handwriting, faint stamps, damaged text, cropped photographs and unclear scans can require additional review.

04

Formatting and complexity

Tables, multi-column layouts, seals, annotations and complex document structures can affect preparation time.

05

Deadline

Standard has the lowest starting price. Faster options cost more because the translation and certification work is prioritised.

06

Additional formalities

Notarisation, apostille-related work, physical copies and other additional requirements can be priced separately.

Pricing questions

Certified translation cost FAQs

Answers to common questions about per-page pricing, urgent turnaround and obtaining a confirmed quotation.

How much does a certified translation cost in the UK?

Standard certified translation starts from £40 per page with a two-working-day turnaround. Express starts from £65 per page for one working day, while urgent service within 24 hours starts from £100 per page.

What does “from £40 per page” mean?

£40 is the published starting rate for standard certified translation. The complete document is reviewed before the final total is confirmed because text density, language, formatting, readability and other requirements can affect the amount of work involved.

What is the lowest-priced certified translation option?

Standard certified translation is the lowest listed option, starting from £40 per page with a two-working-day turnaround. The final quotation is still confirmed after the complete document has been reviewed.

Is certification included in the listed price?

The listed rates are for certified translation. Your confirmed quotation should identify the translation, certification and delivery included for your particular document.

Can I request an urgent translation within 24 hours?

Urgent service starts from £100 per page and is subject to the language pair, document length, readability and available capacity. Send the complete file and exact deadline as early as possible.

Why might my confirmed price differ from £40?

£40 is the standard starting price per page. The confirmed total can differ where a document contains dense text, handwriting, complex formatting, unclear content, multiple pages or additional certification requirements.

Do notarisation and apostille services cost extra?

Yes. Notarisation, apostille-related work and other additional formalities are priced separately from standard certified translation.

How do I get an exact confirmed quote?

Send every page of the document, the source and target languages, its intended use and your deadline. The total cost and available turnaround can then be confirmed before work begins.

Do I need to post the original document?

A clear and complete scan or photograph is generally sufficient for review and quotation. The organisation receiving your application may still have its own rules about original documents or physical copies.
