We provide certified translations as a non-editable PDF, complete with a signed and stamped Certificate of Translation Accuracy in English. This certificate confirms the translation’s accuracy and the translator’s qualifications.
Our certified translations also:
– Are printed on A4 paper (or larger one, if necessary) featuring our contact details, including our special seals from the UK ITI, phone number, and address.
– Maintain a format similar to the source document, though not an exact replica.
– Offer word-for-word translations, adhering to certified translation standards. This means we translate precisely without interpreting the meaning of phrases.
– Do not include your original files in the same PDF unless specifically requested.
Paper copy: posted within the UK on request — Royal Mail 1st Class £7.50, or Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1pm next working day (tracked) £12.50, per envelope added to the translation price. This is a colour print of the digitally signed certified translation; the signed PDF is always included. Outside the UK or for a hand-signed original: international express from Shanghai, with time and cost confirmed first. Most of my clients submit the signed PDF or a colour printout for UK official purposes. Note that we do not print or ship your original documents, as you will pair the translation with them.
