Expert immigration translation services worldwide

Immigration is a high-stakes, highly regulated journey that spans borders, legal systems, and cultural contexts. Whether relocating for work, study, or family reunification, applicants often submit documents issued in one country to authorities in another. Accurate translation—complete with certifications that meet specific authority requirements—is essential to avoid delays, requests for further evidence, or refusals.

In the UK, the Home Office and UKVI require clear, complete, and certified translations for all documents not in English or Welsh. Similar standards apply internationally for USCIS in the United States, IRCC in Canada, and authorities across the EU and Asia. Each authority expects a translator’s certification statement, consistent formatting, and correct transliteration of names, dates, and official stamps.

Immigration cases involve a wide document set: birth and marriage certificates, police clearances, bank statements, academic transcripts, employment letters, tenancy agreements, and more. In sensitive circumstances—such as estate matters or probate proceedings—translating a death certificate accurately is essential to ensure timely and dignified outcomes for cases involving a deceased family member.

For law firms, in-house mobility teams, and relocation providers, the risks of imprecise wording are real: inconsistencies can trigger verification requests, extend processing timelines, and create unnecessary cost. Industry-specific translation ensures legal compliance, supports faster case progression, and enhances applicant trust with clear, professional presentation that aligns with regulatory expectations.

Kings of Translation assigns specialised legal and immigration linguists for every project. Our certified translations include the translator’s statement, company details, and date—structured to meet UK Home Office, UKVI, and international authority requirements. We operate robust quality assurance with second-linguist review, terminology databases, and ISO 17100-aligned workflows to ensure accuracy and consistency.

We translate in 120+ languages at competitive, transparent rates: certified translations from £29.90 per page, and standard business translation from £0.05 per word. Typical turnaround is 24–48 hours for most documents, with same-day options for urgent cases. Notarisation and legalisation are available on request, with itemised fees for notarisation and apostille certification.

Our end-to-end apostille services simplify international submissions: we translate documents, certify the translation, notarise it, and obtain apostille certification through the UK FCDO for use in Hague Convention countries. This one-stop solution removes the need to visit multiple offices, reduces time to submission, and ensures each step meets formal requirements.

Security and trust are essential. We use GDPR-compliant systems, NDAs upon request, and secure portals for uploads and delivery. Our credentials include BBB A+ accreditation, ATA membership, and a 98% customer return rate—reflecting a client-centric approach and consistent service quality recognised by authorities worldwide, including the Home Office, USCIS, and other immigration bodies.
