Professional sworn translation services for official use

Get official translations that authorities recognise worldwide. From birth records and academic transcripts to legal contracts and patents, our sworn and certified solutions are tailored to the specific requirements of the receiving authority—whether that’s the UK Home Office, a British university, a notary abroad, or a foreign ministry. We translate and format documents precisely, preserving stamps, seals, and critical labels so your submission reads and looks like the original.

For organisations, sworn translations unlock smooth cross‑border operations: register subsidiaries, file tenders, submit compliance documents, and standardise HR materials for global teams. Marketing teams keep brand messaging consistent, while legal departments gain confidence that terminology reflects the correct legal framework for the target jurisdiction. If you also need specialist content adapted for audiences, see our complementary patent translation services.

For individuals, sworn and certified translations support international moves and studies. Submit academic credentials, background checks, or civil status documents for visas, naturalisation, or university admissions with confidence that formatting and terminology meet official standards. When applying to academic programmes, our team can provide certified translations suitable for application portals—pair them with focused help such as university application translation.

With the KoT Intuit AI+Human platform, you enjoy up to 50% cost savings without compromising accuracy. Machine‑assisted pre‑translation speeds up delivery, while expert linguists refine terminology and layout. The result is a polished, authority‑ready translation that balances speed, precision, and budget—supported by our 98% customer return rate and responsive project managers.

Precision workflow: We analyse the target authority’s requirements (e.g., Home Office, UK courts, or foreign ministries), assign subject‑matter experts, and build a terminology base for your sector. Technical content is matched with niche translators—legal, academic, medical, or engineering—so definitions and citations are correct in the target language.

Layout and DTP: Our desktop publishing specialists mirror the original layout, tables, headers, and stamps. You receive an authority‑ready file with identical structure and clear translator certification where required. We support scans, PDFs, images, and editable source files; complex forms and multilingual footnotes are re‑created with precision.

For standard volumes, turnaround is typically 24–48 hours, with express options available.

Compliance and assurance: We follow strict confidentiality protocols and can sign NDAs on request. As a global agency with a BBB A+ rating and ATA membership, our translations are widely accepted—frequently used for submissions to British authorities and recognised by agencies abroad, including USCIS and other government bodies internationally.
