Translating the Apostille Certificate
Once the apostille has been issued we can translate the certificate into more than 100 different languages. To get your apostille or any other document translated please get in touch with us.
Legalised documents that have been issued with the apostille may also need translating. Our team of translators can translate your document in approximately 24 hours. With over 100 languages covered we can quickly produce your document in a foreign language.
The apostille certificate may also need to be translated. It is common for foreign organisations to request a translation of the apostille certificate. The UK apostille has most of the text written in English. Several phrases are also produce in French and Spanish but most of the text in English.
If you need your apostille or any other document translated do not hesitate to contact us for a quote.

Translation FAQ’s
The term certified translation has no definitive meaning in the United Kingdom as there is no formal translation system and, because of this, there is no official list of ‘certified translators’. We add our own certification to all translations.
We occasionally hear from clients who require an ‘authorised translation’. In most cases our translation service, as described above, would be sufficient. However, this term may be used to refer to a translation that has been completed by the respective embassy or by a translator registered with this embassy. If this is the case then our standard translation service may not be suitable. Our sworn translation service would be suitable in many cases here.
It is the responsibility of the customer to check if there are any specific translation requirements in their individual case. You should seek advice from the person requesting the translation if they have any specific requirements for the translation and inform us at the time of order.
No, as standard we do not bind the translation to the original document for two reasons.
The first is to prevent any issues with legalising the original document. It can be problematic when legalising a document with the apostille if a translation has been attached. The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office will often request that any translation attached to a document is removed before the apostille certificate is issued.
The second is to prevent damaging the original document. You may need to use the document in an official capacity in the future without a translation attached
The content of the source document will be translated in full barring a few exceptions. Any logos or signatures may be excluded to prevent copyright infringement. In these instances a general description of the omitted item may be given in place of this.
Once the translation has been completed this will be proofread for accuracy. We will then attach a cover sheet to the translation certifying this to be an accurate translation to the best of our knowledge. This cover sheet will include our contact details and an authentication reference should anyone wish to verify that we completed a translation in the future.
