Certified English apostille translation with notarisation and FCDO handling

We provide a true one-stop solution. First, your file is translated by a certified linguist, formatted to match the original, and issued with our signed certification. Next, we arrange notarisation by a UK Notary Public. Finally, we submit to the FCDO Legalisation Office to obtain the apostille certificate. No need to visit multiple offices.

Timelines are clear and dependable: translation in 24–48 hours, notarisation the same day, and FCDO apostille typically 1–3 weeks depending on current processing and postage. Expedited courier options are available. Throughout, you’ll receive status updates and secure tracking for any physical documents we handle.

Our certified translations are produced for international use and are accepted worldwide across 120+ Hague Apostille Convention member countries. For non-Hague countries that require consular legalisation, we’ll guide you through the embassy legalisation route after apostille, ensuring the final document meets destination requirements.

Pricing is transparent: certified translation from £29.90 per page and standard translation from £0.05 per word. Notarisation and apostille certification are billed separately at cost with no hidden mark‑ups. With global credentials and quality controls (including BBB A+ and ATA membership), Kings of Translation delivers secure, compliant results for UK and international authorities.

We handle personal, academic, and corporate documents for use in the UK or overseas. Common requests include passports, visas, ACRO police certificates, degree diplomas and transcripts, HMRC letters, Companies House records, certificates of incorporation, powers of attorney, and medical letters. We also support civil status documents: a birth certificate, a marriage certificate, and a death certificate for estate matters.

Whether you are relocating to the UK, sending documents from the UK to Europe, the Middle East, Asia, or the Americas, or finalising cross‑border business, we prepare English translations and obtain the FCDO apostille to ensure global acceptance. We can also translate documents that are already apostilled into English for UK proceedings.

Formatting matters. Your certified translation mirrors the layout of the original and includes translator certification on letterhead, contact details, and a unique ID for verification. Where required, we secure notarisation by a Notary Public before legalisation. This alignment helps satisfy Home Office, UKVI, courts, and international authorities.
