Certification, notarisation & apostille—what’s the difference?
-
Certified translation (UK) – Translator/agency certifies accuracy with a signed statement (our default for UKVI/Home Office, HM Passport Office, courts, universities).
-
Notarised translation – A notary public witnesses the translator’s declaration; required occasionally for overseas submissions.
-
Apostille/legalisation – The FCDO legalises UK-origin documents (and translations produced in the UK) for use abroad under the Hague Apostille.
If you’re unsure which you need, we’ll advise based on destination authority.
