Every civil registry has its own certificates, stamps and abbreviations. We translate the whole document, including seals, handwriting and marginal notes, so nothing is left for an officer to question.
Names follow your passport. Where there is none, we use ELOT 743, the system on Greek passports.
Letters such as ë and ç are kept or dropped exactly as your passport shows them.
Grades like 14/20 are kept as written, never converted, so a university can assess them itself.
Need it the other way? English into Greek, Albanian or French for use back home is available on request. Ask for a quote

A page is one side of an A4 or US Letter document. Very short documents, such as a single-sided ID card, count as one page.
Payments are non-refundable once work on your translation has started. Work usually starts as soon as you pay. If you cancel before work starts, you get a full refund. Errors in our translation are always corrected free of charge.
Prices are charged in pounds or US dollars as shown; your bank may add conversion fees. We are not VAT registered, so no VAT is charged. Delivery times are estimates in UK working days, counted from receipt of payment and legible files. Your statutory rights are not affected. See the Terms of Service.

How it works
Send a scan or clear phone photo of every page. Your originals stay with you.
Pay online in pounds or dollars. Long files and translations out of English get a quote first.
Your project goes to a translator fluent in your language and experienced with your document type. They reproduce the layout, stamps and seals, and the translation is certified for your office.
Your signed translation arrives by email, with a posted copy if you asked for one.
What “certified” means
For most applications, neither the Home Office nor USCIS asks for a notarised translation. Both ask for a signed statement from the translator. Ours includes everything below.
Some universities and sponsors also ask for the translator's credentials. Tell us and we add a statement of qualifications and experience.
Each document gets its own signed certification, as USCIS expects.
General information only, based on published guidance as of October 2026. Requirements can change, and individual offices, courts or universities may ask for more. Please check the current requirements with the office handling your case. This is not legal or immigration advice.
Names and dates
A name spelled two ways, or a date read the wrong way round, can lead an office to ask for more evidence. We check both on every page.
Dates are written with the month in words, so 04/03/2026 is never read as April in the US when it means 4 March.

Usually not. Home Office guidance asks for a certified translation: a statement from the translator confirming accuracy, with the date, their full name, signature and contact details. Some routes or offices ask for more, so check the guidance for your application.
Generally not. USCIS regulations ask for a full English translation and the translator's signed certification that it is complete and accurate and that they are competent to translate the language. Our certificate includes both.
No. We translate documents only. We are not immigration advisers or lawyers, so we cannot advise on your application, fill in forms, or tell you which documents to submit. In the UK, immigration advice can only be given by advisers regulated by the OISC or by authorised lawyers. In the US, it can only be given by licensed attorneys or accredited representatives.
A professional translator from our team, chosen for your project based on their language fluency and experience with your type of document. Every translator works under a written confidentiality agreement.
Yes. We translate Greek documents from Greece and Cyprus, Albanian documents from Albania, Kosovo and North Macedonia, and French documents from any French-speaking country.
Yes. Email, WhatsApp or the order form, in whichever language is easiest for you. The translation itself is delivered in English.
No. A clear scan or phone photo of every page is enough, including the back of ID cards and any page with a stamp. Keep your originals for your application.
No. Our certificate confirms that the translation is accurate. It does not confirm that the original document is genuine, valid or current. We may refuse documents that appear to have been altered.
We can't advise on this. Whether an original needs an apostille or other legalisation depends on the office and the purpose, so please check with the office handling your case or a qualified adviser.
If an office queries the format or wording of our translation within 90 days of delivery, we re-issue it free of charge. We cannot influence or guarantee the decision on your application.
Standard orders usually arrive within 2–3 UK working days, and express orders within 24 hours, Monday to Friday. Both are counted from receipt of payment and legible files. These are estimates, so if you have a fixed deadline, tell us before you pay.
Payments are non-refundable once work on your translation has started, which is usually as soon as you pay. If you cancel before work starts, we refund you in full. Errors in our translation are always corrected free of charge. This does not affect your statutory rights.
Yes. Files are seen only by the people working on your order, including your assigned translator, who works under a confidentiality agreement. They are deleted automatically 60 days after upload, unless you ask us to keep them. See the Privacy Notice.

We treat every document as confidential and handle personal data as described in our Privacy Notice.
We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events outside our reasonable control. If this happens, we will tell you as soon as possible and do what we reasonably can to reduce the delay. If the delay is long, you may cancel and receive a refund for work not yet done.
Email [email protected] with your order reference. We will acknowledge your complaint within 2 working days and aim to resolve it within 10 working days. If we cannot resolve it, we will tell you whether an alternative dispute resolution provider is available.
We may update these terms from time to time. The version in force when you place your order applies to that order.
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer living in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may also bring proceedings in your local courts. If you are a consumer living outside the UK, you keep any protections given by the law of your country that cannot be excluded.
