Professional Greek Translation Services UK

Searching for Greek to English translators, or English to Greek, for a document that a UK authority, university or employer has asked to see? Lingo Service provides professional Greek translation services (Ελληνικά) from Cardiff for clients across the UK and has worked on official documents since 2012. Every certified Greek translation carries what GOV.UK describes for a certified translation: a signed statement that it is a true and accurate translation of the original, the date, and the translator's full name and contact details.

• Greek to English, civil status acts, family status certificates, degrees and transcripts, criminal record certificates and court papers from Greece or Cyprus, in the format UKVI, UK ENIC, universities, employers and UK courts ask for.
• English to Greek, UK birth and marriage certificates, powers of attorney, contracts, wills and company documents for Greek and Cypriot registries, notaries, banks and courts.
• Price and turnaround, certified Greek translation from £35 per certificate with certification included, standard delivery in 48 to 72 hours, and 24-hour and 12-hour options shown on every quote.

Our Greek translators are native speakers who translate into their strongest language and specialise in official, legal and academic documents. They know the Greek and Cypriot systems well enough to tell a ληξιαρχική πράξη from the Ληξιαρχείο apart from a πιστοποιητικό from the δημοτολόγιο, and to render each with the right English term rather than a guess. No machine translation is used for certified work.

Lingo Service is a UK company registered in Cardiff, certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 17100 and a corporate member of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting. Under ISO 17100 every translation is reviewed by a second linguist before it is certified, so names, dates, registry numbers and stamps are checked twice. Greek names are transliterated to match the spelling in your passport or residence permit, and the layout of the original is mirrored so a caseworker can read the translation alongside the Greek. If any UK authority questions the translation, we revise it free of charge.

The Greek and Cypriot documents we certify most often, with the office that issues each one and what to order from it:

• Civil status acts from the Ληξιαρχείο, ληξιαρχική πράξη γέννησης, γάμου and θανάτου. Acts registered from 2013 are issued electronically through gov.gr; earlier acts are ordered through a ΚΕΠ citizen service centre. Used for spouse and family visas, EU Settlement Scheme family applications, UK marriage notices and probate.
• Municipal roll certificates from the δημοτολόγιο, πιστοποιητικό οικογενειακής κατάστασης (family status certificate) and πιστοποιητικό γέννησης, which a caseworker may ask for alongside the civil status act in a family application.
• Cypriot certificates, birth, marriage and death certificates issued by the District Administration Offices of the Republic of Cyprus under the Civil Registry and Migration Department, and the criminal record certificate issued by the Cyprus Police.

Greece and Cyprus are both parties to the Hague Apostille Convention. Most UK bodies ask only for the certified translation; if yours also asks for an apostille, obtain it in Greece or Cyprus before you send the document and we will translate the apostille page with it.
