Fast, certified Chinese (Simplified) apostille translation for UK and worldwide use

Get everything handled in one place. Our team translates Chinese (Simplified) documents into English (or vice versa), issues a signed translator’s certificate, arranges notarisation with a UK notary public, and obtains the apostille from the FCDO Legalisation Office. No need to visit multiple offices—we coordinate each step for you.

This streamlined approach is ideal for immigration, visa submissions, study abroad, company registrations, contracts, powers of attorney, and cross‑border court matters. We focus on accuracy, correct formatting, and faithful reproduction of seals, signatures, and stamps so that your file is ready for official processing.

Timeframes are predictable: translation typically in 24–48 hours, notarisation on the same day, and FCDO apostille in approximately 1–3 weeks, depending on service level and current workloads. If your document originates outside the UK, we can guide you on the correct authority (for example, a US Secretary of State office) for the apostille.

As a global agency with certified translations accepted worldwide, Kings of Translation supports both already‑apostilled documents (translation after legalisation) and translations that need to be apostilled. Explore our broader certified translation services and our UK‑wide apostille translation services for related needs.

Compliance matters: we maintain rigorous QA, secure handling, and formal credentials (BBB A+ rating, ATA corporate member). Our customer‑centric approach and 98% client return rate reflect our commitment to clarity, speed, and responsive communication at every stage of your project.

We translate and legalise a wide range of Chinese (Simplified) documents: birth and marriage certificates, household registration pages, police clearances, bank letters, academic transcripts and diplomas, company incorporation papers, Articles of Association, contracts, and powers of attorney. Each translation includes a formal certificate of accuracy.

Consistency is key. We follow Hanyu Pinyin for romanisation, match official spellings to passports or prior visas, and mirror original layouts where beneficial for review. Our certified translations are prepared for acceptance by the Home Office/UKVI, universities, courts, and foreign authorities under the Hague Apostille Convention.

When your case spans borders—for example, documents leaving the UK for China or Singapore—we confirm the correct legalisation path and embassy requirements if consular legalisation is needed in addition to the apostille. Our advisors clarify the timeline before you order, so you can plan applications with confidence.

For identity and travel records, combine this service with passport translation. We also assist businesses expanding overseas, ensuring company registers, resolutions, and tax letters meet apostille standards and are formatted for quick verification by registry and banking officers.

Pricing is transparent: £29.90 per page for certified translations and £0.05 per word for standard translation. Notarisation and apostille certification are quoted separately based on urgency and authority fees. You’ll receive a clear breakdown before we proceed—no hidden extras.
