How Do I Translate an Official Document?

Let’s start with what is meant by “official document”, here in the UK. In short, it’s any type of document needed for official reasons – employment, education, business, health, and more. Usually, these are documents that need to be submitted to an official authority (governmental or otherwise). 

As such, the translation must be flawless, and according to the requirements of the intended institutions. This is why you will be required to use certified translation services or your documents may be rejected. 

We have a detailed post on how to translate certified documents, so make sure to check it out!

How much does it cost to translate a document in the UK?

Believe it or not, this is the first question most new customers have for us. Still, it’s also the most difficult to answer since each new project comes with a series of variables that need to be discussed. 

In short, in order to tell you how much it cost to translate a document, we need to know a few things like:

  • The type of document (official or regular)
  • The original language and the translation language
  • The niche (financial, legal, literary, web content, and so on)
  • Project’s size and difficulty (any technical terms, interpretation challenges, and more)

In short, we can’t provide an accurate quote until we see the material you want to be translated. Once we assess the project’s difficulty, size, and overall challenges, we will be able to offer a final quote.

Do I really need affordable translation services in London?

It depends on your budget and needs. The cost is an important factor in the purchase decision, especially when you have a larger project. The speed of translation is also important, but you must make sure it won’t take away from the quality. 

For more on this, we already discussed why you need the services of a professional agency, so make sure to check it out.

Lastly, online translation agencies were among the few businesses that could go on unhindered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Since we already work online, the new world order didn’t stop us from being available to our customers. As a result, we could maintain the same prices as before the world went upside down, and we always try to maintain a balance between size and overall cost.

The translation of documents, literary and academic works, and more is one of the bridges of global communication and cooperation. It’s also one of the elements that allow people to move freely, in search for a better life.
