HM Passport Office requires that documents not in English or Welsh be accompanied by a certified translation.
For UK immigration applications, your translation must meet specific standards set by UKVI. This includes providing a complete and accurate translation that reflects all details from the original document, such as names, dates, and official stamps. Our certified translations are tailored to meet these requirements, ensuring your documents are accepted without delay.

If your immigration documents are not in English, many UK authorities will expect a certified translation before they can assess them properly. This commonly applies to UKVI applications, passport matters, court submissions, university admissions, and other formal processes. A certified translation helps show that the English version is complete, accurate, and suitable for official use.
Our standard turnaround is 24 Hours for many common immigration papers. If your deadline is urgent, same-day service may be available depending on the document type, language, and length. Clear scans and complete pages help us process the translation more quickly.
Docsbase Translation provides certified translations prepared for official UK use. Each translation includes the key certification details authorities commonly expect, such as an accuracy statement, date, contact details, and authorised certification format. While the final decision always rests with the receiving body, we format translations to meet standard UK submission expectations.
Yes. If a receiving authority asks for notarisation in addition to certified translation, this can be arranged on request. Not every immigration application needs notarisation, so it is sensible to check the exact requirement before ordering extra certification.
Yes, in most cases a clear scan or high-quality photo is enough to start the translation. Make sure the full document is visible, including stamps, seals, handwritten notes, margins, and both sides if there is content on the reverse. Poor image quality can lead to delays or follow-up questions.
This is a common issue, especially where names have been transliterated differently across countries or alphabets. We translate the document accurately as written and can preserve official spellings from the source while noting differences where appropriate. If you are aware of a mismatch, it is helpful to flag it when ordering so the translation can be prepared carefully.
