What to know about Certified translators
Unlike most of Europe, the United Kingdom has no sworn translators. There is no court-appointed cadre, no government examination that confers the status and no official seal. A translator here cannot be sworn in, so when a UK body asks for a certified translation it is asking for something narrower than the continental equivalent: a translation accompanied by a signed, dated statement from the translator or the translation company confirming that it is a true and accurate translation of the original, with their name and contact details on it.
