UKVI-Compliant Certified Translations
The Home Office and UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) require all foreign-language documents submitted with visa applications to be accompanied by certified translations. Our translations meet all UKVI requirements and are accepted without delay.
To meet UKVI requirements, all translations must:
- Be completed by a qualified professional translator
- Include a signed certification statement
- Be printed on official company letterhead
- Include translator credentials and contact details
- Be dated and signed by the translator
Our certified translations meet all these requirements and are accepted by UKVI, the Home Office, and all UK government agencies.

What documents do I need for UKVI applications?
Common documents requiring translation include birth certificates, marriage certificates, passports, academic qualifications, bank statements, employment letters, and criminal records checks. The specific documents depend on your visa type. We can translate any document required for your UKVI application.
How much does Home Office translation cost?
Our pricing is transparent and fixed: £35 per page for standard documents. Same-day service is available for an additional fee. Digital delivery is included free of charge. Hard copies with courier delivery are available for an additional fee.
Do I need a hard copy or digital copy?
Most UKVI applications accept digital certified translations. However, some visa centres or specific applications may require hard copies. We offer both digital delivery (instant) and posted hard copies by Royal Mail. Contact us if you're unsure which format you need.
Can anyone certify a translation in the UK?
The UK has no state register of "sworn" translators, but UKVI, courts and universities expect certification from a professional translator or an accredited translation company that takes legal responsibility for accuracy - not from the applicant, a relative, or a friend, even if fluent. Self-certified or family-certified translations are routinely rejected. Every Lingo Service certificate carries our ITI corporate member reference, which is exactly the proof receiving bodies look for.
