Punjabi Translation London and UK: How We Work
Searching for Punjabi translation in London or another part of the UK? We are an East Ham agency that turns Punjabi documents into English and English documents into Punjabi. Email a scan or message a photo, and the certified PDF returns the same way. For other document types, see our certified translation page.
What is a certified Punjabi translation?
It is a translation with a signed statement from the translator confirming it is accurate and complete. The statement also carries the date and the translator’s contact details. UK authorities generally ask for this whenever the original is not in English.
Gurmukhi or Shahmukhi: which script is your document in?
Punjabi is written in two scripts. Gurmukhi is standard in Indian Punjab and among Sikhs. Shahmukhi is a right-to-left script used in Pakistan. Most documents we see from India are Gurmukhi. Our script guide shows how to tell them apart, and we confirm the script before quoting.
What does the Home Office need in a translated Punjabi document?
It wants the translator’s confirmation that the translation is accurate, plus the date, their full name, signature and contact details. Each of our certificates includes all of these. Courts, universities and employers can set extra rules, so tell us who will read it.
Why do Punjabi names cause problems in translation?
One Punjabi name can be written in English several ways. Names such as Jaswinder and Jasvinder, or Kaur and Kour, appear in different spellings across passports and certificates. The translation must follow your passport, or the receiving office may query it. Send your passport details with the order and we match them.
Can you translate Sikh and Anand Karaj marriage certificates?
Yes. Gurdwaras issue Anand Karaj certificates, and civil registries issue separate marriage certificates. We translate both, along with the names, the date, the place of the ceremony and every stamp. Spouses often need one for a spouse visa, so check what the Home Office asks for.
Do you translate Punjabi documents across the UK?
Yes. Documents move by email or WhatsApp, so you can order from any city, town or village in the UK. The certified PDF comes back the same way, and a printed copy goes by post if needed. You can also see us at our East Ham office by appointment.
What is the difference between a Punjabi translator and a Punjabi interpreter?
A translator works on written text. An interpreter speaks aloud in a clinic, courtroom or meeting. Plenty of people need both. The Punjabi interpreter section above covers the spoken side, and our court interpreter and immigration interpreter pages cover legal work.
Do you need notarisation or an apostille?
Seldom, when the document stays in the UK, but the body receiving it has the final say. A notary witnesses and seals a translation, and an apostille is a stamp that allows a UK document to be used abroad. Both cost extra, so ask first.

FAQ
Punjabi Translation: common questions
Do you provide certified Punjabi translation in London?
Yes. We certify Punjabi translations in London for visa applications, courts, universities, hospitals and employers. Each one carries a signed statement of accuracy with the translator’s name, the date and contact details. The price is fixed before work begins.
Do you translate Punjabi documents for clients across the UK?
Yes. Email a scan or send a phone photo from any town or city in the UK. The certified translation comes back as a PDF, with a hard copy by post if you want one. You can also visit our East Ham office by appointment.
How much does Punjabi translation cost?
Punjabi translation usually costs £35 to £45 per page. The exact price depends on the document type, its length, how legible the scan or handwriting is, and your deadline. We confirm a fixed price before we start, normally within 30 minutes in opening hours.
Is my document in Gurmukhi or Shahmukhi, and does it matter?
It matters, because they are two different scripts. Gurmukhi is used in Indian Punjab and by Sikh communities. Shahmukhi is used in Pakistan and runs right to left. If you are unsure, send a scan and we identify the script before quoting.
How long does Punjabi translation take?
Short documents such as certificates can often be finished in 24 to 48 hours, and same-day express is possible for short documents. Handwritten or longer papers take more time. Give us your deadline, and the quote confirms what we can do.
What does the Home Office need with a translated Punjabi document?
It needs a statement from the translator that the translation is accurate, plus the date, their full name, signature and contact details. Every certificate we issue includes these. For a court or university, tell us who will read it and we check their rules.
Can you translate Anand Karaj and other Sikh marriage certificates?
Yes. We translate Anand Karaj certificates issued by gurdwaras, Indian marriage registration certificates and related papers. Names, dates, the place of ceremony and every stamp are translated, and spellings are matched to your passport.
Can you translate Indian documents such as an Aadhaar card, birth certificate or land record?
Yes. We translate Aadhaar cards, birth and death certificates, school and degree certificates, police clearance certificates, affidavits, wills and Punjab land records. Papers issued in Pakistan are usually in Urdu, so our Urdu translation page may suit those better.
Do you translate English to Punjabi as well as Punjabi to English?
Yes. Punjabi to English is most common for official papers. English to Punjabi covers letters, leaflets, contracts, websites and health information. Tell us the script your readers use, Gurmukhi or Shahmukhi, and the level of formality you want.
Do you provide a Punjabi interpreter in London and across the UK?
Yes. Our Punjabi interpreters work on-site in London and by video or phone anywhere in the UK, for hospitals, courts, police stations, solicitors and business meetings. See the Punjabi interpreter section above for how we cover each area, or ring us for an urgent booking.
