Certified Czech death certificate translation for UK and worldwide use

Certified translations for a death certificate must be precise, complete, and properly presented. We translate all visible text including names, places, seals, marginal notes, and registration stamps. Our linguists are native Czech and English professionals with legal expertise, ensuring accurate terminology for probate and estate settlement.

Each translation includes a signed and stamped certificate of accuracy on company letterhead with translator credentials and contact details. This package meets UK standards for Home Office submissions, HM Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS), the Probate Registry, banks, and insurers. It is also widely accepted by institutions worldwide, supporting cross-border procedures.

We carefully preserve formatting and faithfully reproduce dates, place names, and diacritics (háčky and čárky), while applying UK conventions for names and date order where required by the authority. Transliteration is handled consistently, and any illegible sections are clearly annotated according to best practice.

If related travel or consular tasks are involved, we also support passport translation for accompanying documents. With a 98% customer return rate, our team focuses on clarity, customer care, and practical guidance at every stage.

We understand timescales around estate matters can be sensitive. For standard two–three page certificates, we typically deliver within 24 hours. Urgent same-day service is available on request. Complex cases—handwritten entries, archival scans, or multiple attachments—are scheduled promptly with clear timelines.

Quality assurance underpins every order. A second linguist reviews the translation for completeness, names, dates, and official references. We verify consistent terminology (e.g., registry office titles) and cross-check seals and annotations. This multi-step review helps avoid rejections or delays when submitting to UK authorities or overseas institutions.

Our project managers provide guidance on specific requirements: whether a wet-ink signed hard copy is needed, if a translation must be notarised, or if bilingual layouts are preferred by a particular office. We also advise on digital acceptance for online probate submissions or bank compliance checks.

Pricing is transparent: certified translations start at £29.90 per page, while non-certified documents (e.g., correspondence or supporting letters) are from £0.05 per word. There are no surprise fees—extras such as notarisation, printing, and courier delivery are quoted upfront so you can plan confidently.

Security and confidentiality are built in. Files are transmitted via encrypted channels, and our workflows are GDPR-compliant. Only essential personnel access documents, and we can sign NDAs where necessary, particularly for sensitive legal matters.

Every certified translation package includes the full translation of the death certificate, a signed certificate of accuracy on Kings of Translation letterhead, the translator’s credentials, and our contact details for verification. You receive a secure PDF for immediate use and, if required, a printed, stamped copy.

When an authority requests notarisation, we can arrange it quickly. Notarisation confirms the translator’s identity and signature, and is often required by certain banks, consulates, or registries outside the UK. We will advise whether notarisation is necessary for the intended submission.

Our certified translations are widely recognised by British authorities such as the Home Office, HMCTS, and the Probate Registry, as well as universities, insurers, and legal firms. Internationally, our documentation is accepted by many agencies and consulates; we also maintain compliance for submissions to US bodies (including USCIS), reflecting our global service model.

If the certificate contains rare abbreviations, registry codes, or archaic terms, we add translator notes to ensure clarity for caseworkers. Where copies are faded or partially illegible, we flag unclear sections without speculation, following best practice so reviewers can assess the document accurately.

From initial brief to final delivery, you’ll have a named project manager, proactive updates, and guidance tailored to the receiving authority. This customer-centric approach helps move matters forward efficiently when handling affairs involving a deceased person across different countries.
