Certified Amharic death certificate translation for UK and worldwide

When estate matters, probate proceedings, or insurance claims involve records from Ethiopia, accuracy is critical. Our certified Amharic-to-English translations are produced by expert linguists who understand legal terminology, civil registration formats, and transliteration standards. We provide a signed certificate of accuracy suitable for UK submission and international use.

Translations are widely accepted by the UK Home Office, HM Courts & Tribunals Service, solicitors, banks, and insurers, and are also recognised by overseas authorities, including USCIS in the United States. If you are exploring related options, see our death certificate translations and broader certified translation services for other document types.

Our process is streamlined: upload a clear scan or photo, we translate and proofread by hand, mirror the original formatting, and attach a certification letter on company letterhead. You will receive a secure, searchable PDF ready to submit. Printed copies can be arranged on request for institutions requiring hard-copy filings.

Pricing is straightforward. Certified translations start at £29.90 per page. For non-certified content (e.g., background correspondence), standard translation is available from £0.05 per word. Most single-page death certificate translations are completed within 24 hours. Kings of Translation couples rigorous quality control with responsive customer care to make urgent legal tasks easier.

Every certified translation includes a signed and dated certificate of accuracy on company letterhead, translator credentials, and our contact details for verification by authorities. Kings of Translation is a global agency with trusted credentials (including BBB A+ and membership in industry associations such as ATA), and our translations are accepted worldwide for official purposes.

We carefully reproduce the layout, seals, and stamps for clarity and reference. Names are transliterated from Amharic to English consistently using standard conventions, and any alternative spellings or unclear handwritten content are marked with translator notes when appropriate. This level of detail helps avoid delays in probate or insurance processing.

If notarisation is requested by a solicitor or foreign institution, we can arrange notarised certification. For international filing, guidance on obtaining an apostille may be provided, though requirements differ by country. Our team advises on documentation norms so the translation aligns with the expectations of British and overseas authorities.

Ordering is simple: upload the document, specify target language and purpose, and select a turnaround. We accept scans, photos, and PDFs. Delivery is typically 24–48 hours, with same-day options for short documents. For related official documents, many clients also request passport translation to complete estate or travel paperwork.

Certified translation is commonly required when settling an estate, transferring property, distributing inheritance, closing accounts, or filing life insurance claims involving a deceased person. Banks, insurers, and UK probate registries will often request a clear, certified English translation before proceeding.

Situations frequently cross borders. For example, an Amharic death certificate may need translation for UK probate when the deceased lived in Britain, or for use abroad when relatives reside in Europe, North America, or Australia. Our translations are accepted worldwide, supporting submissions to British authorities and international agencies alike.

We also help when records must move the other way—English into Amharic—for use with Ethiopian institutions. Our linguists understand Ethiopia’s civil documentation and regional naming conventions, improving accuracy and reducing follow-up questions. If other documents are required for identification, consider our passport translation service.

Data security and privacy are built into our workflow. Files are handled via encrypted channels, and NDAs are available on request. With a 98% customer return rate and dedicated project managers, Kings of Translation provides calm, efficient support during sensitive legal matters, ensuring the translation does not become a barrier to resolving affairs.
