Notarised Translations for Official and Overseas Use

Some authorities require more than a standard certified translation. If your document is being submitted abroad, to an embassy, consulate, overseas court, foreign government department or international institution, you may be asked to provide a notarised translation.

At Official Translation Service, we can assist with notarised translations for personal, legal, academic, immigration, business and corporate documents. The translation is prepared by a professional linguist, certified for accuracy, and then presented for notarisation where required.

A notarised translation provides an added layer of verification, confirming the identity or authority of the person or company certifying the translation.

When Do You Need a Notarised Translation?

Notarised translations are often required when documents are being used outside the UK or for formal legal, immigration or administrative purposes.

You may need a notarised translation for:

Overseas visa applications
Embassy or consulate submissions
Foreign marriage or divorce procedures
Overseas property transactions
International business documents
Court or legal documents
Academic documents for overseas institutions
Powers of attorney
Company registration documents
Birth, marriage, and death certificates
Immigration and residency applications
Documents requiring apostille or legalisation

If you are unsure whether notarisation is required, we recommend checking with the receiving authority before placing your order.

Accurate Translation with Notarial Support

A notarised translation must be accurate, complete and professionally presented. Our team ensures that the translated document reflects the original content clearly, including names, dates, stamps, signatures and key details.

Once the translation is completed and checked, we can assist with the notarisation process where required. This helps ensure that your document is prepared in a suitable format for official submission.

Notarisation Made Simple

The process is straightforward. Send us a clear scan, PDF or photo of your document and tell us where it will be submitted. Our team will review the file and confirm whether you are likely to need a certified translation, notarised translation, sworn translation, apostille or legalisation support.

Once confirmed, we will translate, check and certify the document before arranging notarisation where applicable. We can provide digital copies and, where required, hard copies for submission.

Certified, Notarised or Apostilled?

Different authorities have different requirements. In many UK situations, a certified translation is sufficient. However, overseas authorities may request notarisation, and in some cases, the notarised document may also need an apostille or further legalisation.

If your document will be used abroad, it is important to confirm the exact requirement with the destination authority. Our team can guide you through the options and help you prepare the correct translation format.
