When does my legal translation need to be certified?

In London, as in the rest of the UK, a certified legal translation is necessary for official purposes. This is the case, for example, in legal proceedings, immigration procedures, or real estate transactions.

Certification confirms that the translation is faithful and accurate compared to the original document. Legal document translations must be certified whenever the documents are used by administrations or governmental authorities. These formalities must be carried out by a recognised professional translator or an accredited translation agency. This certification is often required for documents to be accepted by competent authorities or official institutions. At Ben Language, we are accredited with the ATC (Association of Translation Companies).

When does my legal translation need to be notarised?

Notarised translations are a very common step in our legal translation services. Notarisation must be carried out by translators who have their signature witnessed by a notary public or are accredited by a recognised translators’ association. Only this type of translation has legal value and allows you to carry out legal or judicial formalities worldwide.

Before requesting your quote, please check your recipient’s requirements to ensure that notarisation is necessary. If it is not mandatory, we can simply provide a certified translation. This option is not only more affordable but also faster.

If you have any questions about notarisation, do not hesitate to contact us.

Do I need an apostille for my legal translation?

An apostille is an official stamp that authenticates a translated document for international use, in accordance with the Hague Convention.

This stamp is affixed by a competent authority and certifies the signature of the translator or official who has legalised the document. This ensures that your certified translation is recognised by official bodies, regardless of the destination country of your formalities.

The apostille simplifies the legal recognition of documents between countries that are signatories to the convention. If you wish to receive a quote for your project, feel free to contact us.

• Legalisation: When a certified or notarised translation needs to be recognised internationally, it may be necessary to opt for legalisation or apostille processes. Our London agency assists you with these formalities.
• Proofreading and Editing: Business translations must always be executed meticulously. That’s why we provide proofreading and editing services for your documents written in foreign languages.
