Professional Norwegian Translation Services UK

Looking for Norwegian translators for a certificate, a contract or a set of company papers? Lingo Service is a UK translation company whose native Norwegian (norsk) translators work between Norwegian and English in both directions. Certified translations start at £35 per certificate, standard delivery is 48 to 72 hours and a 24-hour fast track is available.

Send a photo or PDF of the document and you get a fixed price in about a minute. Your translator reads Bokmål and Nynorsk, keeps every name, date and personal number exactly as issued, and returns a signed and stamped PDF you can forward straight to the Home Office, a university or an employer. Hard copies are posted on request.

Every Norwegian translation is done by a native Norwegian speaker who translates professionally, not by a bilingual generalist. Our Norwegian to English translators are chosen for their track record with official documents from Skatteetaten, Politiet, Statens vegvesen, Brønnøysundregistrene and Norwegian universities. Our English to Norwegian translators are native Norwegians who write clean Bokmål or Nynorsk, whichever your reader expects.

Checking is built into the process. Each translation is revised by a second linguist before it is signed, as ISO 17100 requires, and a UK-based project manager checks names, dates, personal numbers and formatting against the original before the certified PDF leaves us.

• Norwegian to English translators: certificates, police certificates, tax documents, court papers, contracts and company documents for UK use
• English to Norwegian translators: UK certificates, contracts, employment letters, marketing copy and technical documents for Norwegian authorities, employers and customers
• Norwegian interpreters: for meetings, hearings and appointments, arranged through our contact page with the date, place and setting

These are the Norwegian documents we certify most often for UK visas, employers, universities and courts, with the body that issues each one so you know what to order in Norway:

• Fødselsattest (birth certificate) and printouts from Folkeregisteret, the National Population Register, both issued by Skatteetaten, the Norwegian Tax Administration.
• Vigselsattest (marriage certificate) from Skatteetaten. Norway issues these in Norwegian or as a multilingual version; if yours is multilingual and already carries English, tell us before you order, because you may only need the Norwegian-only parts translated
• Politiattest (police certificate of conduct) from Politiet, applied for online and delivered to a digital mailbox. We translate the digital PDF, including the purpose line and any remarks
• Vitnemål and karakterutskrift (diploma and transcript), including results shared from Vitnemålsportalen, the national Diploma Registry run by Sikt, whose PDFs are digitally signed. We translate them for UK ENIC statements, universities and professional bodies
• Førerkort (driving licence) from Statens vegvesen, skifteattest (probate certificate) from the tingrett, and firmaattest and register extracts from Brønnøysundregistrene
• Skattemelding and lønnsslipper (tax return and payslips), employment contracts and bank statements for mortgage, visa and relocation files

Names, personal numbers (fødselsnummer), dates and reference numbers are copied exactly as they appear; nothing is added and nothing is left out. Norway, like the UK, is party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so if a Norwegian body needs a UK document legalised before the translation is attached, see our apostille service.
