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 Glasgow. For apostilles and embassy legalisation, we tell you exactly which originals to send and return them by tracked post.
In Scotland, births, marriages, civil partnerships and deaths are registered with National Records of Scotland (NRS) and local registrars, not with the GRO. Scottish extracts can be apostilled by the FCDO like any other UK public document, and we order them for you.
Scotland has its own legal system, so Court of Session and sheriff court decrees and documents drawn up by Scottish solicitors and notaries use their own terminology. Our translators take this into account.
Frequently asked questions
Are your certified translations accepted by authorities in Glasgow?
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 Glasgow 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 Glasgow?
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 Glasgow?
Yes, depending on the language and the date. We arrange face-to-face interpreters in Glasgow and across Glasgow City, 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 Glasgow?
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.
