Certified Latin birth certificate translation for UK and worldwide use

Each certified Latin birth certificate translation is produced by an experienced translator and checked for accuracy and completeness. We mirror the structure of the original, render all names, dates, places, and notes clearly, and add a professional certification statement that includes the translator’s credentials, date, and contact details—meeting UK standards for official submissions.

Your file arrives as a signed PDF that is ready to present to British authorities such as the Home Office, HM Passport Office, universities, and local councils, and it’s also accepted internationally by many embassies and immigration bodies. If your application involves multiple documents, explore our broader birth certificate translations or our full range of certified translation services.

Turnaround is typically 24–48 hours for a single certificate, with same-day options when feasible. Pricing is transparent: certified translation starts at £29.90 per page, while standard (non-certified) translation for supporting documents is available from £0.05 per word. We can also provide printed copies, notarisation, or an apostille on the translator’s statement if requested by a specific authority.

Kings of Translation is a global agency with a customer-first approach and a 98% return rate. Our processes align with industry best practice, and our services are widely accepted worldwide, including by UK bodies and international authorities. For added peace of mind, we operate with strong quality assurances and recognised credentials such as ATA membership and a BBB A+ standard of service ethos.

Latin documents often feature ecclesiastical terminology, historical abbreviations, and handwritten scripts. Our specialist linguists are trained to interpret archival Latin, ensuring that every section—marginalia, stamps, seals, or registry notes—is faithfully reflected in English. This attention to detail reduces questions from caseworkers and helps streamline your application.

Quality is built into our workflow. A second linguist reviews the translation for accuracy and clarity, and our formatting team ensures the final document is easy to compare with the original. The certified statement is clear and complete, which is essential for UK Home Office submissions and for use with authorities overseas.

We make the process simple: upload your scan or photo, confirm the quote and delivery time, and we handle the rest. You’ll receive a secure PDF ready to submit, with tracked postage for printed copies where needed. If you need additional documents translated for your application, we also provide passport translation with the same level of certification and care.

Customer care is at the heart of our service. You’ll have responsive support, proactive updates, and a dedicated project manager on larger cases. With worldwide acceptance and fair pricing, Kings of Translation is a trusted partner for clients relocating from one country to another for work, study, or family reasons.

Clients use Latin birth certificate translations for UK visa applications, settlement, British citizenship, school enrolment, and HM Passport Office name corrections. They are also used in legal matters such as probate, property, or family applications where historical birth records help verify identity or lineage.

Because our certifications follow clear international standards, the same translation is widely accepted outside the UK, including by EU member state authorities, embassies, and immigration bodies like USCIS, IRCC in Canada, and the Department of Home Affairs in Australia. When moving between countries, a robust, well-formatted translation minimises delays and requests for re-submission.

Delivery is flexible: you’ll receive a signed PDF via secure download, and we can dispatch printed copies worldwide with tracking if a physical set is required. We also retain a secure archive for a limited period, allowing quick re-issues if an authority asks for a fresh copy or additional pagination.

Data security is essential. We process documents under strict confidentiality, use encrypted channels, and follow GDPR-compliant practices. Only essential project staff access your files, and we apply clear retention limits. This professional handling is part of why our certified translations are trusted by clients and recognised globally.
