What is a Certified Translation?
A certified translation is an official translation of a document that comes with a signed statement of accuracy from a qualified translator or agency. This certification confirms that the translation is a true and complete version of the original document.
Certified translations are often required when submitting documents to UK authorities, courts, universities, and professional bodies. They are also used for immigration, visa applications, academic enrolment, legal proceedings, and business contracts.
At Amanara, our certified translations are prepared by experienced professionals and include a signed and stamped certificate of accuracy. You’ll receive your translation as a digital PDF, and if needed, we can also provide a stamped hard copy by post. Our translations are fully compliant with UK government standards and are widely accepted by institutions abroad. However, as international requirements can vary, we recommend checking with the relevant authority to confirm exactly what is needed — such as notarisation or legalisation — so we can ensure your documents meet those expectations.

LEVELS OF CERTIFICATION
Which Type of Certified Translation Do You Need?
Different institutions require different certification levels. Always check with the authority requesting your documents — but here are the main types we provide.
Basic Certified Translation
A signed and stamped translation provided by our agency. Widely accepted by the Home Office, UKVI, universities, banks, and employers for official submissions.
Solicitor Certified Translation
Includes a solicitor’s verification of the translator’s declaration. Often required for contracts, legal papers, or documents submitted to UK courts.
Notarised Translation
The translator swears an affidavit before a Notary Public. Typically required for international use where sworn translators are not recognised.
Sworn Translation
Completed by government-authorised or court-registered translators (in countries such as Spain, Brazil, or France). No further certification needed.
Legalised Translation
When a certified translation must be used abroad, it can be legalised with an apostille or consular stamp to confirm international validity.
If your certified translation also requires an apostille, see our Apostille Legalisation Service
