What happens after you upload
This is what to expect once you press send.
- Quote. We check every page, count the words and look for handwriting, stamps and damaged areas. We then send a fixed price and a delivery date by email or WhatsApp.
- Payment. If you accept, you pay securely by card, bank transfer, PayPal or another common payment method. The price does not change. For orders over £100, you can pay in 2 or 3 instalments. We start work after the first payment, and release the final certified translation once the last payment is received.
- Translation. A native-speaker translator translates the whole document, including stamps and notes in the margins.
- Check. A second linguist checks names, dates and numbers against your original.
- Delivery. You receive a signed, certified PDF. A printed copy by tracked post is available if you need one.
Every certified translation quote UK customers receive from us is the final price, with no hidden fees. You can compare our standard rates on our asylum document translation prices page first if you like. Prices shown there are starting prices and include VAT; your written quote confirms the exact price before any work starts.
If your deadline is very close
Tell us your interview or hearing date in the deadline field. For short documents, we may be able to deliver the same day. See urgent asylum document translation for how this works and when you need to send your files.
Tips for clear phone photos
A good photo saves time. If we cannot read part of a page, we must ask for a new photo, which delays your quote.
- Use a flat surface. Lay the document flat on a table. Do not hold it in your hand.
- Show all four corners. Stamps and page numbers are often at the edges.
- Turn off the flash. Flash causes glare on laminated ID cards. Use daylight or a bright room instead.
- Photograph both sides. ID cards and many certificates have text on the back.
- One page per photo. Do not put two pages in one picture.
- Include every stamped page. Even a page with only a stamp or signature may need translating.
- Check before you send. Zoom in. If you can read the smallest writing, so can we.
If a document is torn, faded or water-damaged, photograph it anyway. We translate what can be read and clearly mark any part that cannot. You do not need to send us your original documents. Keep them safe, as the Home Office or your solicitor may ask to see them.
Solicitors: request a bundle quote
If you are a solicitor, IAA-regulated adviser or charity caseworker, you can send a whole bundle and get one translation price quote for all the asylum documents in it. Add your client reference in the form, so our invoice matches your file. We can provide a written quote to support a prior authority application to the Legal Aid Agency. See our translation services for immigration solicitors page to open a firm account.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a quote take?
We reply with a quote within 1 hour, 8am–10pm UK time, 7 days a week. If a page is hard to read, we may ask for a clearer photo before we can give a fixed price. Large appeal bundles may take a little longer, because we check every page for handwriting, stamps and annotations before quoting. If your deadline is urgent, say so in the form and we will prioritise your quote.
Do I need to send originals?
No. We work from clear photos or scans, and you keep your original documents. The Home Office or the Tribunal may ask to see the originals, so store them somewhere safe and dry. If an organisation abroad has asked for a notarised translation, let us know in the form, as the notary may have extra requirements.
Is my upload secure?
Yes. Files are sent over an encrypted connection and handled under UK GDPR. Only the staff and translator working on your order can see them, and every translator signs a confidentiality agreement. We delete your files after delivery on the schedule set out in our privacy policy. We do not share your documents outside our team unless you ask us to.
