Professional Serbian Translation Services UK

Serbian is the official language of Serbia, spoken by approximately 9 million people in Serbia and by Serbian minorities in neighbouring countries including Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo, Croatia, and North Macedonia. The UK has an established Serbian diaspora, with communities in London and other major cities, creating consistent demand for certified Serbian translation of official documents for UK immigration, employment, and family purposes.

Our Serbian translation service covers all official documents required for UK immigration and official use. We understand the Serbian administrative system, including documents issued by Matičar (civil registry offices), Serbian courts, and educational institutions. Our translators are familiar with the specific formats and terminology used in Serbian official documents, ensuring accurate translations that UK authorities accept.

Whether you need translation for a UK visa application, professional qualification recognition, university admission, or business purposes, we provide certified translations that meet all Home Office and official UK requirements. Our Serbian translators are native speakers with expertise in legal, academic, and official document translation.

We translate all types of Serbian documents:

• Civil registry documents — Извод из матичне књиге рођених (birth certificate), извод из матичне књиге венчаних (marriage certificate), извод из матичне књиге умрлих (death certificate)
• Identity documents — Serbian passports (пасош), лична карта (national ID card), возачка дозвола (driving licence)
• Academic credentials — University diplomas (диплома), school certificates, transcripts from Serbian educational institutions
• Legal documents — Court judgments (судска пресуда), contracts (уговор), powers of attorney (пуномоћје), notarised documents
• Business documents — Company extracts from Агенција за привредне регистре (Business Registers Agency), articles of association, commercial contracts
• Police certificates — Уверење о неосуђиваности (criminal record certificate) from Serbian Ministry of Interior
• Employment documents — Уговор о раду (employment contract), потврда о запослењу (employment certificate), радна књижица (employment record book)

All translations include certification accepted by UK authorities for immigration and official use.

Accurate Serbian translation requires specific expertise:

• Two scripts — Serbian uniquely uses both Cyrillic and Latin alphabets officially. Our translators handle documents in either script with equal proficiency
• Special characters — Serbian uses letters (ć, č, đ, š, ž in Latin; ћ, ч, ђ, ш, ж in Cyrillic) that must be accurately reproduced
• Serbian vs Croatian — While mutually intelligible, Serbian and Croatian have distinct lexical and orthographic standards. We use proper Serbian terminology
• Yugoslav-era documents — Documents from the former Yugoslavia may use different formats, terminology, or be in Serbo-Croatian. Our translators understand this historical context
• Kosovo documents — We also translate documents issued by Kosovo authorities, which may be in Serbian, Albanian, or both
• Regional variations — Serbian documents may come from Serbia proper, Republika Srpska (Bosnia), or Serbian communities elsewhere. We handle all variants

Our Serbian translators understand both Serbian administrative systems and UK official requirements, ensuring your documents are translated accurately and accepted first time.
