In the United Kingdom, there is no single government-issued “certified translator” licence. Instead, most organisations accept a certified translation when it includes a signed certification statement (often called a cover letter) confirming the translation is accurate and complete.
A complete and accurate English translation of the original document.
A certification statement confirming the translation is accurate and complete.
Translator or company details (name, contact information, and/or company registration details).
Signature and date on the certification statement.
Evidence of professionalism where requested (for example, membership of recognised translation organisations).
In the UK, “certified translation” usually means a professional translation supplied with a signed certification statement. The key is reliability: accurate content, consistent certification, and a process that stands up to official scrutiny.
Certling is an ATC registered company and we work to recognised professional standards.
We reference our professional memberships and company details on the certification statement.
We match translators to the document type (legal, academic, medical, business) to reduce mistakes and ambiguity.
Terminology, names, dates, and numbers are checked for consistency and correct localisation.
Formatting is kept clear so officials can easily cross-reference the source document.
Every delivery includes a certification statement signed and dated with translator/company details.
Whatever your needs, we provide certified translations for a wide range of documents.
