Swahili apostille translation services you can trust in the UK

We provide a streamlined, end‑to‑end service designed for UK and international submissions. First, a native professional translates your Swahili document into English (or English into Swahili) following official formatting and terminology. Each translation is reviewed by a second linguist for accuracy and consistency.

Next, we issue a certified translator’s statement on company letterhead including our credentials and contact details. If required by your receiving authority, we arrange notarisation by a UK notary public. This authentically verifies the translator’s signature and prepares the file for legalisation.

Finally, we obtain the apostille from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). The apostille confirms the notary’s authority and is recognised by 120+ countries that are signatories to the Hague Apostille Convention. This step ensures your document can be accepted internationally for immigration, study, employment, and legal use.

Typical timelines: translation within 24–48 hours; notarisation the same working day; FCDO apostille usually 1–3 weeks depending on service levels and current processing times. Pricing is clear: from £29.90 per page for certified translation or £0.05 per word for standard translation, plus notarisation and apostille fees.

We translate and legalise a wide range of Swahili and English documents. Common personal items include passports, identity documents, ACRO/Police Certificates, academic diplomas and transcripts, degree verifications, birth and marriage certificates, and a death certificate when handling estate matters. For business, we process powers of attorney, company extracts, Articles of Association, and contracts.

If you are moving from one country to another, for example from Tanzania or Kenya to the UK (or the reverse), we prepare translations accepted by British authorities such as the Home Office and by overseas institutions that require apostilled documents. Our formats match official expectations, with translator certification and notary wording where needed.

We manage both scenarios: translating documents that already carry an apostille, and obtaining an apostille after translation and notarisation. For travel and identification, we can also assist with passport translation so your records align across jurisdictions.

All files are handled securely. You can upload scans or digital photos for translation; for apostille issuance, the FCDO will require the original notarised document. We coordinate collection and return by tracked courier, ensuring your apostilled documents reach you safely anywhere in the UK or worldwide.

Kings of Translation blends linguistic expertise with robust legalisation handling. Our certified translators are rigorously vetted, subject‑matter aware, and experienced with official formats required by UK visas and academic or legal submissions. A second‑linguist review is built into our process to ensure accuracy and consistency.

We protect your information with secure encrypted portals and GDPR‑aligned data handling. Only essential personnel access your documents, and we retain a record of certifications for quick re‑issues if required. For apostille returns, we use insured, trackable delivery to you or directly to your receiving authority on request.

We are committed to transparent service, fair pricing, and a client‑first approach—reflected in our 98% customer return rate.
