Professional Malayalam Translation Services UK

Malayalam is spoken by over 38 million people, primarily in the Indian state of Kerala and the union territory of Lakshadweep. Kerala has one of India's highest literacy rates and a significant tradition of migration — with substantial Keralite communities in the UK, particularly in London, Birmingham, and major NHS trusts across the country.

Malayalam has one of the most complex scripts among Indian languages, with a large number of unique characters and extensive use of conjunct consonants. The script evolved from the ancient Grantha script and requires specialist expertise for accurate translation. Kerala's administrative documents follow distinct state formats that differ from other Indian states.

Our Malayalam translators are native speakers with expertise in Kerala's administrative systems and UK immigration requirements. Whether you need birth certificates for visa applications, nursing qualifications for NMC registration, or academic credentials for UK employment, our certified translations are accepted by the Home Office, UKVI, NHS employers, and all official bodies.

We translate all types of Malayalam documents from Kerala and other regions:

• Civil registry documents — Birth certificates (ജനന സർട്ടിഫിക്കറ്റ്), marriage certificates (വിവാഹ സർട്ടിഫിക്കറ്റ്), death certificates from Kerala's municipalities and gram panchayats
• Identity documents — Aadhaar cards, PAN cards, Indian passports, driving licences, ration cards with Malayalam text
• Academic credentials — SSLC and Plus Two certificates from Kerala Board, university degrees from Kerala University, Calicut University, MG University, and other Kerala institutions
