Cardiff's Translation Services Landscape
If you need a certified translation in Cardiff, you are usually working to a deadline that belongs to someone else: a UKVI application window, a listing at Cardiff Civil and Family Justice Centre, a university enrolment date or a registrar appointment. Lingo Service is a Cardiff company, trading since 2012 from our base at Regus House in Cardiff Gate, and certified translation for exactly these situations is the core of what we do. Upload your document, see the exact price in under 60 seconds, and receive a certified translation that UK authorities accept.
A certified translation in the UK is a translation delivered with a signed certification statement that names the translator, confirms their credentials and takes responsibility for accuracy. Ours carry the Lingo Service certification stamp, are produced under our documented quality process, and are backed by our acceptance guarantee: across more than 50,000 documents since 2012, 99% have been accepted first time, and if any UK authority queries our work we put it right for free. You receive the certified PDF by email at no extra cost, with hard copies by tracked courier if your receiving body wants paper.
Being based in the Welsh capital matters for more than the postcode. We translate between English and Welsh to the bilingual standards expected by the Welsh Government and Senedd, serve Cardiff's Arabic, Polish, Somali, Kurdish and Chinese speaking communities in Riverside, Grangetown and Butetown, and support students at Cardiff University, Cardiff Met and USW with certified academic transcripts. If you are comparing agencies, ask the questions that matter: how long has the company traded, who actually signs the certification, and what happens if an authority queries the work. We are happy to be checked. Our company history is public at Companies House and our reviews come from real clients.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are your certified translations accepted by UKVI and the Home Office?
Yes. Every certified translation includes a full translation, a signed statement confirming it is accurate and complete, the translator's credentials, our contact details and the date, which is exactly what UKVI requires. Our translations are accepted by the Home Office, UKVI, HM Courts and Tribunals, the DVLA, the GMC, the NMC and UK universities. See our Home Office requirements guide for the full detail.
How much does a certified translation cost in Cardiff?
From £0.10 per word, which works out at about £35 for a typical one-page certificate, with certification included. Upload your document to the instant quote tool and you see the exact price before you pay. It does not change afterwards.
How quickly can I get a certified translation in Cardiff?
Standard delivery is 48-72 hours with no surcharge. If your deadline is tighter, the quote offers guaranteed 24-hour, 12-hour and same-day options. Most short certificates in common language pairs come back well within the standard window.
Do I need to visit your Cardiff office?
No. You upload a scan or clear photo of your document, and your originals never leave your hands. We are based at Regus House, Cardiff Gate, and the whole service runs online, which keeps it fast and keeps the price down.
Can you provide certified Welsh translations?
Yes. Our native Welsh translation team produces certified English-Welsh and Welsh-English translations to the bilingual standards expected by the Welsh Government, the Senedd and Welsh public bodies.
How do I know an online translation agency is legitimate?
Check three things before paying anyone. First, how long the company has actually traded: Companies House shows this for free, and marketing claims should match it. Second, whether the reviews are recent, local and verifiable. Third, who signs the certification statement and in which country that company is registered. Lingo Service has traded since 2012, is an ITI corporate member, carries £10m professional indemnity insurance, and every certification is signed by our UK team.
Do Cardiff courts accept your translations?
Yes. Our certified translations are used in Cardiff Crown Court, Cardiff Magistrates Court and the Cardiff Civil and Family Justice Centre. For solicitor and court bundle work, see our Cardiff legal translation page.
