Certified Chinese (Simplified) birth certificate translation for the UK and worldwide

Your birth certificate is a vital record, and accuracy matters. We assign native Chinese and English translators who specialise in civil status documents. They understand the nuances of Simplified Chinese characters used across Mainland China and apply consistent, standards-based transliteration for names, places, and official seals.

Every certified translation includes our company letterhead, translator’s declaration, date, signature, and contact details—meeting UK Home Office and UKVI guidance. We also adhere to global best practices so your translation is suitable for international use, including submissions to embassies, universities, and even USCIS when required.

Our pricing is straightforward: £29.90 per page for certified translations and £0.05 per word for standard translations. Typical delivery is 24–48 hours for a single birth certificate, with an express same-day option available. If the receiving authority requires a posted original, we can dispatch sealed hard copies domestically and internationally.

Kings of Translation is known for exceptional customer care, and our 98% client return rate reflects that. Expect proactive updates, clear guidance on spelling conventions, and secure handling of your personal data.

Whether you are applying to the Home Office, HM Passport Office, a UK university, or an employer abroad, our certified translations are recognised worldwide. We are also an ATA-affiliated team with a BBB A+ reputation for service quality, giving you added assurance wherever your documents need to be presented.

Name transliteration is handled with care. We follow Pinyin as the primary standard unless you provide a different spelling as printed on your passport or ID. We preserve original name order and add clarifying notes when helpful (for example, family name in uppercase) to align with UK and international expectations.

Dates are formatted according to the requirements of the destination authority, commonly DD/MM/YYYY in the UK. Our translators map Chinese administrative terms, seals, and bureau names to accurate English equivalents. If a seal or stamp is partially illegible in the scan, we will flag it and seek confirmation before finalising.

We accept scans, photos, and PDFs. To prevent delays, please ensure all corners are visible and the image is clear. If needed, we can produce a template recreating the layout to reflect stamps and marginal notes. Our QA includes bilingual review and an automated check for consistency across names, dates, and registration numbers.

For added validation, we offer notarisation on request, and can coordinate apostille legalisation through a partner if the destination country requires it. This ensures your Chinese birth certificate translation moves smoothly through international processes without back-and-forth.
