Apostille and Translation of Registrar Certificates
When presenting a UK issued birth, marriage or death certificate to an overseas organisation or government office you may be asked for an apostille and a translation. The apostille is added to UK documents so they will be accepted outside of the UK and the translation is completed so that the document content can be easily read by the recipient.
Apostille on General Register Office (GRO) Certificates
We can add the UK apostille to all GRO issued certificates. The GRO issue many certificates including:-
- Birth Certificates
- Adoptions Certificates
- Marriage Certificates
- Death Certificates
- Civil Ceremony Certificates
The apostille is added to these certificates when they are submitted to foreign organisations and government bodies. Our service ensures your documents are legalised in just 1-2 days.
Translations of GRO Certificates
We can translate most GRO certificates in just 1 day. Using professional translators that only translate documents into their first language we ensure accurate translations for our customers. When translating a GRO certificate our translators make sure they format documents into the correct layout to accurately reflect the original document. The translation is then certified to be an accurate translation of the original document.
We can also provide embassy recognised sworn translations if your document is being requested by an embassy or consulate in London.
If your translation is to be presented to an authority within a Civil Law country then it is likely you will be asked to produce a Sworn Translation. We can assist with providing a Sworn Translation for many of these countries. Some examples of countries we can provide Sworn Translations for include:-
- Spain
- Italy
- France
- Belgium
- Germany
- Greece
- Austria
- Poland
- Romania
- Slovakia
If you require a Sworn Translation for your documents you can order online or please get in touch.

- Fast 2 working day replacement certificate

We can then add the apostille for you and translate the document in just a couple of days.
