Certified Translation Services for Immigration Documents
When immigrating to a new country or making an application in the country you currently reside in, you may be asked to provide a certified translation of official documents.
This is primarily due to the fact that countries generally need to review documents in their native language in order to process them and confirm their eligibility for the application being made.
In the case of immigration, visa or nationality applications, official documents may be from other countries in different languages, therefore making document translations necessary.
Requirements will vary across different countries, but often, translations must often be certified by a qualified translator. The translator may also have to give a solemn confirmation that the translation is true and accurate, and give proof of their qualifications or credentials.
If you’re in need of certified document translation services for your official documents, IAS are here to help. We draw upon our years’ worth of expertise working in international immigration to translate official documents and other written material, using only the best and most qualified certified translators.

Why Do You Need Certified Translations for Immigration?
When making an immigration, visa or nationality application, it is imperative that the documentary proof you provide is comprehensive and meets all the requirements set out by the official body who will be reviewing your application.
Often, one of the requirements will be that documents must be translated into the native language of the country where the application is being lodged.
Without a certified translation of the documents in the application, the application may be rejected as the officials will not be able to review them for accuracy and eligibility purposes.
For this reason, it is highly important that you seek the help of certified document translators or a professional translation agency before submitting your application for a visa, permit or residency.
Qualified translators can quickly and accurately translate documents into your chosen language and present them in a way that is professional and easy to read, streamlining the document review process for your application.
In hiring the services of a translator, you can be assured that your documents will be presented and translated in the best way possible for when your application comes under review, maximising your chances of success.

Wait times for certified translations can vary greatly based on the complexity of the document being translated and the volume of translations that our team needs to be working on at any one time. However, you can typically expect a translation for a single document to take a few hours to a day or two.
Generally speaking, governments will require translations to be certified by a qualified translator who has the requisite skills and qualifications to provide a translation that meets minimum standards. It is unlikely that governments will accept a document translation that you have attempted yourself.
Translation costs can vary greatly based on a number of factors, including:
- The complexity of the document
- The length of the document
- The relationship between the original language and the translated language and how close/common they are with each other
- How quickly the document needs to be translated
It is recommended to consult an expert first before committing to translations due to the differences in cost and the need to review each case on an individual basis. For a free consultation for your document translation case, call us today on +44 (0)333 414 9244 or reach out to us online.
