Professional Armenian Translation Services UK

Armenian is spoken by approximately 6 million people in Armenia and by large diaspora communities worldwide, including significant populations in the UK. The global Armenian diaspora, shaped by historical events including the 1915 genocide, means Armenian speakers are found across Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas.

Armenian uses its own unique alphabet, created by Mesrop Mashtots in 405 AD. The Armenian script has 39 letters and is written left-to-right. There are two main variants: Eastern Armenian (used in Armenia) and Western Armenian (used by diaspora communities, especially those with roots in historic Western Armenia). Armenian documents follow specific government formats.

Our Armenian translators are native speakers with expertise in Armenian administrative systems and UK immigration requirements. Whether you need birth certificates for visa applications, academic credentials for NARIC recognition, or legal documents for UK proceedings, our certified translations are accepted by the Home Office, UKVI, UK courts, and all official bodies.
