About ABC Translation
ABC Translation is an international company specialising in the documents that cross borders: certified and sworn translation, apostille, embassy and consulate legalisation, retrieval of official documents, and interpreting.
Our UK branch brings that experience to clients in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland: families preparing visa or citizenship applications, students applying to universities, solicitors and notaries, and companies working with partners abroad.
Because we operate in several countries, we can deal with both ends of a procedure: the UK side, with certified translations, FCDO apostilles and embassy legalisation in London, and the foreign side, with sworn translations and documents obtained in the country concerned.
Each request is quoted individually. Send us your documents and tell us where they are going; we will explain the steps, the price and the timing before any work begins.
