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 Cardiff. For apostilles and embassy legalisation, we tell you exactly which originals to send and return them by tracked post.
Certificates for Wales are issued by the General Register Office for England and Wales and by Welsh local register offices. Many Welsh public documents are bilingual, in Welsh and English; we translate them into the language your destination requires.
Wales shares the legal system of England, so Welsh court orders, probate documents and company documents follow the same apostille route through the FCDO.
Frequently asked questions
Are your certified translations accepted by authorities in Cardiff?
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 Cardiff 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 Cardiff?
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 Cardiff?
Yes, depending on the language and the date. We arrange face-to-face interpreters in Cardiff and across Wales, 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 Cardiff?
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.
