We translate official documents for Londoners every day — birth certificates from Lagos, marriage records from Karachi, university transcripts from Warsaw, divorce papers from Damascus. Each translation is performed by a qualified native translator, revised by a second linguist under ISO 17100, and issued with the signed certificate of accuracy that UK authorities require. From £25 per page. Quote in 30 minutes. No surprises on the bill.
Our London office sits a few minutes from East Ham station, but the work itself stretches across the capital. On a typical Tuesday we might translate a Polish marriage certificate for a couple in Ealing, an Arabic university transcript for a UCAS deadline in Bloomsbury, a Mandarin lease agreement for a property solicitor in the City, and a Spanish driving licence for someone moving over from Madrid. Different paperwork, same standard.
We are a small, deliberately specialised team — career translators rather than admin staff with Google Translate open in another tab. Every linguist we work with translates exclusively into their mother tongue and holds either a postgraduate translation qualification, full membership of the Chartered Institute of Linguists (CIOL) or the Institute of Translation and Interpreting (ITI), or comparable accreditation in the country where the language originates. That is the floor, not the ceiling.
Every certified translation we send out is bilingually checked by a second translator before it leaves the office — that is what the ISO 17100:2015 standard insists on, and we treat it as non-negotiable. The result you receive carries our company stamp, the translator’s signature, our certificate of accuracy and our full London contact details, exactly as required by the Home Office, UKVI, HM Passport Office, HM Courts & Tribunals Service, the General Medical Council and UK universities.
Certified translation, legal & corporate translation, and website localisation — handled by London-based project managers and native-speaker translators worldwide.
Birth, marriage and death certificates, divorce decrees, IDs, bank statements, school records — translated, certified and accepted by every UK authority that asks for them.
Court bundles, witness statements, contracts, articles of association, wills and notarial deeds — translated by linguists with genuine legal training, ready for filing or notarisation.
Website copy, product descriptions, financial reports, technical manuals and marketing material — localised by sector specialists who write for the audience, not just the dictionary.
If you have official paperwork in another language and a UK body has asked for an English translation — we have done it before. Probably this week.
Passport pages, national ID cards, police clearance certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees, birth certificates, sponsor letters and bank statements — formatted exactly to UKVI specification for spouse visa, settlement, naturalisation and ILR applications.
Court orders, witness statements, contracts, articles of association, powers of attorney, wills, probate documents, expert reports — accepted by the Family Court, Crown Court, County Court and Royal Courts of Justice. Notarisation and apostille arranged on request.
Diplomas, degree certificates, academic transcripts, school reports and reference letters — translated to the format required by UCAS, ENIC (formerly UK NARIC), Russell Group universities and professional bodies like the GMC, NMC and SRA.
Patient records, GP referral letters, hospital discharge summaries, clinical trial documents, prescriptions and informed consent forms — used by hospitals, private clinics on Harley Street and pharmaceutical firms across Greater London.
Annual reports, financial statements, audit letters, M&A due diligence packs, employment contracts and HR policies — translated for City of London law firms, accountancy practices and listed companies. Confidentiality is the default, not an extra.
Driving licences, school transcripts, birth and adoption certificates, name-change deeds, statutory declarations and tenancy agreements — turned around quickly for individuals across every London borough, posted hard-copy if required.
Most certified translations are sent digitally, but if you prefer a hard copy in your hand we deliver across Greater London by next-day Royal Mail Tracked or — for City and Canary Wharf addresses — by same-day courier.
No quote tools that ask for ten pages of detail. No automated bots. A real London project manager handles your job from the first message to the final PDF.

Our Credentials
I had an excellent experience with IM translation services. They delivered fast, professional, and reliable service at a very reasonable rate. Communication was smooth, and everything was handled efficiently without any delays. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality work at a fair price.
We brought in this team for a two-day assignment — our client needed an interpreter throughout, and they delivered without a single issue. Punctual, professional, and the interpreter handled some fairly technical legal discussion without missing a beat. We’ll be using them again.
Good communication and prompt payment for a Polish–English translation project.
Excellent service! Very professional.
English is not my first language and the legal process here was quite confusing. The interpreter was patient — not just translating words but actually making sure I understood what was going on. The price was fair, no surprises at the end. I would use them again without hesitation.
Very affordable and professional.
European, Asian, African, Middle Eastern and Indian Subcontinent languages, all handled by native translators in the UK and abroad.

Yes. Every certified translation we issue carries a signed statement of truth, our company stamp, the translator’s credentials and our full London contact details — exactly what the Home Office, UKVI and HM Courts & Tribunals Service require. The certified format we use is the standard accepted by all major UK authorities.
Standard certified document translation starts at £25 per page for short certificates such as birth, marriage or death. Academic transcripts begin at £30; legal contracts from £35 per page. Express 24-hour and same-day services carry a small surcharge. We send a fixed quote — no hidden fees — within 30 minutes of your enquiry.
Most short documents (one to three pages) are returned within 3 to 5 working days at standard pace. Express turnaround is 24 hours, and same-day service is available before 11am for urgent UKVI or court deadlines. Larger projects are scheduled around your timeline, not ours.
We serve every London borough — from East Ham and Stratford in the east, through the City and Westminster, to Hammersmith, Ealing and Wimbledon in the west. Most certified translations are delivered digitally with optional hard-copy posted by Royal Mail Tracked. Our office in East Ham (E6 2JA) accepts collection by appointment.
Over 200 languages including Arabic, Urdu, Polish, Romanian, Bengali, Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin, Cantonese, Turkish, Farsi, Somali, Tigrinya, Pashto, Albanian, Russian, French, German, Italian, Greek and many more. If your language is rare, ring us — we almost certainly have a vetted native translator in our London network.
Yes. We operate under the ISO 17100:2015 standard, which means every translation is performed by a qualified native translator and independently revised by a second linguist before delivery. This is the international quality benchmark for translation services and we audit it internally each quarter.
Absolutely. Every translator and project manager has signed a strict Non-Disclosure Agreement, and we are fully GDPR-compliant. Files are transferred over encrypted channels, stored securely, and deleted on request after the project closes. Our work routinely covers divorce papers, medical histories, witness statements and corporate M&A material.
You don’t need to fill in every field. A quick photo of the document and a sentence about your deadline is enough for us to come back with a price you can rely on.
