Certified Swahili death certificate translation services accepted worldwide

A death certificate is a critical document for estate settlement, repatriation, life insurance claims, and closing accounts. Our linguists, experienced with Swahili documents from Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, the DRC, and beyond, produce faithful translations that mirror official formats while conveying all stamps, signatures, and marginal notes.

Every translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy on agency letterhead, detailing the translator’s competence and date of completion. This certification meets typical requirements for British authorities, including UKVI and HM Courts and Tribunals Service, as well as international bodies. If a requesting party requires notarisation or a hard copy, we can arrange this quickly.

Turnaround is fast—standard delivery for a single-page death certificate is usually 24 hours. Our workflow includes expert translation, independent quality review, and final certification. You receive a secure PDF by email, with optional tracked post for printed copies within the UK.

Kings of Translation maintains robust compliance: we are a global agency with certified translations accepted worldwide, are known for attentive customer care, and apply strict confidentiality controls. Our processes draw on international best practice (ATA member standards, BBB A+ approach to service quality), ensuring dependable results when sensitive matters are at stake.

Our certified Swahili death certificate translation includes a precise translation of names, dates, places, cause of death fields, registry details, and any visible stamps or seals. We preserve the structure to reflect the original layout clearly, aiding review by caseworkers, registrars, and claims handlers.

You will receive: a professionally translated document, an agency Certificate of Accuracy signed and dated, translator/agency contact details, and a secure PDF copy. Optional services include notarisation (if specifically requested by a receiving authority), hard-copy prints, and courier delivery. For international submissions, we can advise on typical expectations and formatting.

Pricing is straightforward: certified translations start from £29.90 per page. If you have multi-page attachments or related correspondence, standard translation rates from £0.05 per word apply. We offer fair, transparent quotes and provide timeframes upfront so you can plan probate or repatriation steps with clarity.

Data security matters. Your documents are handled via encrypted channels and restricted to vetted linguists under confidentiality agreements. Our team is experienced with sensitive cases and will ensure careful, respectful treatment of all information related to a deceased family member.

If additional documents are needed for travel or estate administration, we can also help with passport translation and other vital records, ensuring consistent formatting and certification across your case.

Families often manage matters that span countries—such as submitting a death certificate from Tanzania for probate in England and Wales, supporting a life insurance claim in Scotland, or arranging repatriation from the UK to Kenya. A certified translation ensures officials and insurers can accurately review the facts and proceed without delays.

Our linguists are familiar with regional variations of Swahili (including KiUnguja, KiMvita, and Congolese Swahili) and the terminology found on civil registry forms. That expertise helps avoid discrepancies in names or dates that can hold up proceedings, especially when caseworkers compare multiple documents.

We regularly support submissions to British authorities (Home Office, UKVI, HMCTS Probate), banks, pensions providers, and insurers, as well as foreign consulates and notaries. While acceptance policies vary by institution, our certified format aligns to widely recognised standards, and we can provide notarisation on request if a specific third party requires it.

Speed is important, particularly where inheritance timelines or travel arrangements are involved. Most single-page translations are delivered in 24 hours; urgent same-day options may be available. Clear, fixed pricing and personalised guidance keep the process simple, with proactive updates from our project managers.
