Fast and certified Serbian apostille translation services and legalisation

We offer complete legalisation for Serbian documents destined for use in the UK or abroad. This includes professional Serbian–English translation, certification on our letterhead, optional notarisation by a UK Notary Public, and apostille from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). Whether the document is issued in Serbia or the UK, we streamline every step.

Certified translation is available from £29.90 per page, or from £0.05 per word for standard translations. Notarisation and apostille fees are itemised separately and depend on document type and turnaround preferences. As a global agency with BBB A+ standards and ATA membership, our translations are recognised by British authorities and widely accepted worldwide under the Hague Apostille Convention.

Common documents include birth and marriage records, criminal record extracts, court judgments, company registries, contracts, academic credentials, and powers of attorney. We translate Serbian in both Cyrillic and Latin scripts and can mirror original document formatting for clarity. If a document is already apostilled, we can translate it; if not, we can translate first and obtain the apostille after notarisation.

If your case spans multiple jurisdictions, our team advises on the correct order of steps so your paperwork is accepted the first time—translation, certification, notarisation, then apostille. Learn more about our broader apostille translation services or review our full range of certified translation services to plan your submission.

Step 1 – Translation: A native Serbian specialist translates your document into English (or vice versa) with careful attention to names, seals, and legal phrasing. Standard timelines are 24–48 hours for most documents, with rush options available. You receive a draft for confirmation when required.

Step 2 – Certification and notarisation: We issue a signed translator’s statement on Kings of Translation letterhead. If the destination authority requires notarisation, we arrange a UK Notary Public to certify the translation. Many UK bodies accept certified translations without notarisation; however, an apostille commonly requires notarised documents.

Step 3 – FCDO apostille: We obtain the apostille from the FCDO Legalisation Office. Standard times typically range from 5–10 working days, but we advise allowing 1–3 weeks overall depending on volume and postal times. We provide secure PDFs for immediate use and dispatch originals via tracked courier for international submissions.

Acceptance: Our certified translations are widely recognised by the UK Home Office, UK Visas and Immigration, universities, courts, and professional regulators, and by international authorities in countries that are party to the Hague Apostille Convention (120+ countries). For non‑Hague jurisdictions, we can guide you on additional consular legalisation if needed.

Convenience and security: Order online, upload scans or photos, and track progress with a dedicated manager. We use encrypted systems and follow strict confidentiality protocols. For identity documents, consider our quick passport translation to keep your immigration timeline on track.

Experience that prevents delays: Apostille applications can be rejected for small issues, such as mismatched spellings or missing translator statements. Our team checks transliterations between Serbian Cyrillic/Latin and English, verifies seals, and ensures the right notarisation route to meet UK and foreign requirements.

Transparent pricing: Certified Serbian translations start at £29.90 per page, standard translation at £0.05 per word. Notarisation and FCDO fees are quoted clearly before we proceed, with options for standard or expedited handling. You will always know what is required, how long it will take, and the exact cost.

Global acceptance: Kings of Translation delivers work that is trusted internationally. We follow robust quality controls and are recognised for excellent customer care, reflected in our 98% customer return rate. Our certified translations are accepted by British authorities and widely recognised by foreign ministries, courts, universities, and businesses around the world.

End‑to‑end support: From document assessment to final courier delivery, your project manager keeps everything moving. Need only translation of an already apostilled document? We can help. Need translation plus apostille for use in Serbia or another Hague country? We manage every step so you don’t have to visit multiple offices.
