Our birth certificate notarised translation service helps you use your birth certificate abroad, for a marriage, a visa, citizenship or a registration overseas. A professional translator translates it, and a UK notary public notarises it, so it is ready for official use.
We offer notary translation both ways. Foreign birth certificates are translated into English, and UK birth certificates into Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Arabic and other languages. Need it notarised and apostilled? We add the FCDO apostille in the same order.
Each translated and notarised birth certificate includes every stamp, seal and handwritten note, with names spelled as in your passport. You get the translator's signed statement of accuracy and the notary's seal and signature.
Applying for a UK visa or a British passport? UKVI and HM Passport Office usually accept a certified birth certificate translation, which costs less than a notarised one. Send us a scan, and we will tell you which one you need before you pay.
A notarised translation of a birth certificate is usually needed when the document goes to an office outside the UK. Our clients most often need it to get married in Spain, register a child's birth in Italy, apply for a visa to China, or claim citizenship in Ireland. Many foreign embassies and consulates in London also ask for a notary public translation.
We translate birth certificates from any language into English, including Arabic notarised translation, and we translate UK birth certificates into the language the office needs. Your official birth certificate translation keeps the same layout, so every stamp, seal and signature is easy to match with the original.
Some countries only accept translations made by their own sworn translators. If that applies to you, we will tell you before you order. You can also read how our sworn translation service works and when it is needed instead of notarisation.
You can get your birth certificate translated and notarised online from anywhere in the UK, including if you need notarised translation in Birmingham . There is no need to visit a notary public yourself. Just follow these three steps.
Send a clear scan or photo of every page by email, WhatsApp or our form. Tell us which country and office will receive it.
Our translator completes the translation and signs a statement of accuracy. A UK notary public then confirms the translator's identity and notarises their signature. This is what makes it a notarised translation.
Get a PDF by email, a hard copy by post, or both. If the country needs your translation notarised and apostilled, we add the FCDO apostille before sending.
We provide certified and notarised birth certificate translation into English and from English, including French notarised translation . Spanish, Italian, Arabic, Chinese, Russian and Portuguese are among our most requested languages. Every notary translation is done by a native-speaking translator who knows how names, dates and official terms are written in that country.
A birth certificate is often the first document an office checks, so a small mistake can cause delays. Our notarised translation service UK focuses on the details that matter: exact names, every stamp translated, and the right mix of notarisation and apostille for the country you are dealing with.

It depends on where you will use it. UKVI, HM Passport Office and most UK offices accept a certified translation. Foreign embassies, consulates and civil registries abroad often ask for a notarised (sometimes spelled notarized) translation, and sometimes an apostille too. Send us their instructions and we will tell you which one you need.
No. In a notary public translation, the notary confirms who the translator is and witnesses their signature on the statement of accuracy. The accuracy of the translation comes from our professional translator, not the notary.
Yes. We often provide notarised translation of UK birth certificates into Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Arabic, Portuguese and other languages, for marriages, visas and registrations abroad. Some countries need their own sworn translator, so tell us the country and we will check first.
Yes. After notarisation, we can get an FCDO apostille so the translation is accepted in Hague Convention countries. For other countries, we can also arrange embassy legalisation.
Send the version the office has asked for. For citizenship, marriage abroad and passports, offices usually want the full (long) version that shows the parents' details. If you are not sure, send us what you have and we will tell you if it is likely to be enough.
We spell names exactly as they appear in your passport. Tell us the passport spelling when you order. Details like two Spanish surnames, hyphens, or a surname written first are kept as they are, so the names match across all your documents.
No. A translation must show exactly what the original says, so we cannot change names or fix mistakes. If there is a clear error, our translator can add a short note to point it out.
Yes. We translate handwritten and older birth certificates as long as the text is clear enough to read. If a word cannot be read, the translator marks it clearly in the translation.
Usually yes, unless the office asks for a recent one. Some foreign registries and consulates only accept documents issued in the last 3 to 6 months, so check their rules first.
The price depends on the language, the length of your certificate, and whether you need an apostille. We share the full cost before we start, with no hidden charges.
