No need to travel
You do not need to travel. Send us a clear scan or photo of your document, we reply with a fixed quote and a deadline, and we deliver the certified translation as a PDF and, when required, as a signed hard copy posted to your address in Belfast. For apostilles and embassy legalisation, we tell you exactly which originals to send and return them by tracked post.
In Northern Ireland, certificates are issued by the General Register Office for Northern Ireland (GRONI). They are apostilled by the FCDO like other UK documents, and we order them for you.
Clients in Northern Ireland often also hold documents from the Republic of Ireland. Irish documents are authenticated in Dublin by the Department of Foreign Affairs rather than by the FCDO; we coordinate both routes in a single order.
Frequently asked questions
Are your certified translations accepted by authorities in Belfast?
Yes. Our certified translations include a signed statement of accuracy, the date and the translator's details, the format required by the Home Office, HM Passport Office, courts, universities and most employers in Belfast and elsewhere in the UK. If the document is going abroad, tell us the country: some countries require a sworn or legalised translation, and we arrange that too.
Do I need to visit an office in Belfast?
No. Most orders are handled entirely by email and post. You send a scan or a photo; we translate, certify and deliver the PDF, plus a posted hard copy if needed.
Can you send an interpreter to Belfast?
Yes, depending on the language and the date. We arrange face-to-face interpreters in Belfast and across Northern Ireland, and remote interpreting by phone or video. Give us the date, duration, address and language as early as you can.
How much does a translation cost in Belfast?
The price depends on the language pair, the length and type of document, the deadline and any legalisation needed, not on your location. Send your document through the form and we will reply with a fixed, no-obligation quote.
