Is this translation accepted by UKVI and the Home Office?
Yes. UKVI requires that any document not in English or Welsh is accompanied by a full translation with: confirmation from the translator that it is an accurate translation of the original, the date of the translation, and the translator’s full name, signature and contact details. Every order includes a signed certification with all of these on company letterhead, plus an order number that can be independently checked on our
verification page. If UKVI ever rejects a translation we prepared, send us the letter (or just point us to the error) within 180 days and we fix it free or refund you in full — your choice.
Who translates my document, and who is accountable for it?
Translations are produced through RENDUN LIMITED's translation process, which combines translation technology with multi-step verification: names, dates and numbers get an independent second reading. Documents the system flags as handwritten, damaged or complex are reviewed by a person before delivery. Every certificate is signed by the company's authorised representative, who takes responsibility for the translation, and carries our postal address, telephone number, email address and a public verification link. UKVI and the Home Office specify what a certification must contain, not who performs the translation; ours contains every required element. If a translation is rejected, we refund it.
How can an officer or employer verify that this translation is genuine?
Three ways, none of which need an account. 1) The order number on the certificate can be entered at certmytranslation.co.uk/verify, which confirms the order was issued by us, the date, the language pair and the document type — never names or contents. 2) The certification page carries a Document ID computed from the translation itself; the verification page shows the same ID, so a certificate whose text has been altered will not match. 3) The verification page shows the SHA-256 fingerprint of the exact PDF we issued and lets anyone check a PDF file against it in the browser without uploading it. The certificate also carries our telephone number and email for direct enquiries.
Do I need a sworn or notarised translation?
Not for UKVI. “Sworn translators” are a feature of civil-law countries (Spain, France, Germany) — the UK has no sworn translator register, and UKVI asks only for a certified translation as described above. Some courts and foreign authorities do want notarised translations; if that is your situation, contact us and we will point you to a suitable provider.
How fast will I get my translation?
Typical orders are delivered in under 10 minutes. Handwritten, damaged or low-resolution documents are routed to manual review and delivered within 24 hours — you will see this before you pay.
What does it cost?
£14.95 per page, flat — compared with £25–40 per page and a 1–3 day wait at traditional agencies. No subscriptions, no account. You pay with PayPal or card and download a finished PDF: translation, signed certification page, and a copy of your original.
Is my document safe?
Files are encrypted in transit and never used to train AI models. We keep your uploads and finished translations securely on file so you can request a copy or a correction whenever you need one. Prefer deletion? Email us any time and everything is removed within 48 hours.
What if something in my document is unreadable?
Standard practice is to mark unreadable text as [Illegible] rather than guess. Our multi-step verification compares two independent AI readings plus your own confirmation of names and dates, so nothing is silently invented.
My certificate is a Soviet form in Russian. Which language do I choose?
Either — one order covers both, and the certificate names the languages actually present on the document.
Do I need this for a DWP or Universal Credit claim?
Officials commonly ask for a certified translation of a child's birth certificate for Child Benefit or Universal Credit claims. The translation you receive states its accuracy and carries our details, which is what they ask to see.
Should the patronymic be included when my passport does not have it?
Yes — a certified translation must be complete. It is kept and marked as the patronymic; your main name follows the passport spelling.
I only have a витяг (extract) from the registry.
An extract is an official document and is translated as such, titled correctly. Whether it is accepted in place of the certificate depends on the official; most accept it, and it often carries more detail.
