Do you need a certified English translation for official use?

As a Chartered Linguist and fully qualified Member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists, I provide expert French, Italian and Spanish to English translations for everything from passport and visa paperwork to academic qualifications and legal documents, all accepted by UK institutions and government bodies.

CERTIFIED TRANSLATIONS FROM FRENCH, ITALIAN & SPANISH INTO ENGLISH

For a certified translation, you need a qualified and appropriately registered translator. That’s me!

To comply with official guidelines, a certified translation must be signed by a translator affiliated with a recognised body, such as the CIOL. For added assurance, look for the “Chartered Linguist – Translator” designation.

I meet both of these criteria, so you can trust you’re in capable hands!

Here's what the process involves...

Step One

You send me the French, Italian or Spanish document(s) you need translated into English.

Scans (PDFs or JPEGs) are perfect, but if you prefer, you can post hard copies.

Step Two

Once I’ve reviewed your document(s) and confirmed the details, I’ll provide the final cost for the certified translation.

If you’re happy to proceed, you’ll make the payment and I’ll get started.

Step Three

I’ll translate your document(s) into English, carefully matching the original formatting and layout. The translation is then printed, bound securely with eyelets, and stamped on every page. I also attach a signed covering letter with my seal and Chartered Linguist sticker, certifying the translation as accurate and complete.

Step Four

Your certified translation bundle will be sent to you as a digital file and/or a hard copy, depending on your preference.

With everything in place, you’ll have exactly what you need to move forward smoothly and with confidence.

Certified translations by a Chartered Linguist, ensuring clarity, accuracy and peace of mind every step of the way.

I contacted Kate regarding a translation that I needed from Italian to English (university diploma). Kate has great translation skills, attention to detail and she ensured the translation was 100% accurate and formatted as per the source file (as required for official translations of certificates).
