What Is a Certified Birth Certificate Translation?
And why UKVI won’t accept anything less
A certified birth certificate translation is a translated version of your original birth certificate that includes a signed declaration of accuracy from a qualified translator or translation agency.
UKVI and the Home Office require certified translations for any document that is not in English or Welsh. This includes birth certificates from non-English speaking countries.
UKVI will not accept a self-translation, even if you are fluent in both languages. The translation must be certified by a professional translator or agency so the Home Office can trust that it is accurate and complete.
Our certified translations include:
- A complete, word‑for‑word translation of your birth certificate
- A signed Certificate of Accuracy with the translator’s full contact details and qualifications
- Our company stamp and full London contact details
- Bilingual checking by a second translator (ISO 17100:2015 standard)
