Certified translations of birth certificates are essential for a range of official purposes in the UK, including immigration applications, obtaining visas, applying for passports, legal proceedings, and academic submissions. As one of the most frequently requested types of documents, we have extensive experience translating birth certificates from various countries, including China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
Our team of professional translators has successfully translated thousands of birth certificates. Whether you need your birth certificate translated from Chinese to English or vice versa, our service ensures an accurate and timely translation.
Certified translations are crucial when the receiving institution requires proof that the translation is both complete and accurate. This is commonly required by the UK Home Office, universities, courts, and other governmental bodies.
All certified translations are provided according to the best practice of the UK, complete with order and page numbers, our contact information, and our membership details with recognized professional bodies. When required, we can also arrange notarization of the certification, providing original copies with wet ink signatures for added authenticity.

According to GOV.UK, your document must be certified by a professional or a person well-respected in your community (‘of good standing’). The person you ask should not be:
– Related to you
– Living at the same address
– In a relationship with you
In practice, UK authorities tend to recognize documents certified by authoritative translators, which can reduce the risk of rejection and save you time. You can minimize errors, omissions, or rejection by using a translator or translation company affiliated with a recognized professional body, such as the Association of Translation Companies (ATC), the Institute of Translation and Interpreting (ITI), or the Chartered Institute of Linguists (CIOL).

The price starts from GBP30.
Our rates vary depending on the complexity and length of the document as well as the required turnaround time. We provide a free, no-obligation quote upon reviewing your document, ensuring that you know exactly what the translation will cost before proceeding.
The number of pages for certified translations is determined by the total word count of the document. A single page is considered to be 250 words or fewer, including any numerical data.
If a page exceeds 250 words, we will adjust the calculation accordingly based on the word count. At that point, you will need to request a quote from us.

The process begins with you sending us a scan or a clear photograph of your document. We then translate the document and provide a certification statement that attests to the accuracy of the translation and the qualifications of the translator. The certified translation is then stamped with our official seal and mailed to you.
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.
If you request a physical copy, we’ll send an unfolded version with wet ink signatures, printed on high-quality paper, in a protective cardboard envelope. Note that we do not print or ship your original documents, as you will pair the translation with them.
If you still have questions that are not covered here, feel free to reach out to me directly.
