Certified translation in Cardiff for use in Taiwan
Papers put before a Taiwanese office have to be in Chinese, and on this corridor the certification takes a particular form: a company stamp applied next to the translator's signed statement. That pairing is the point of the route, and it is what a clerk in Taiwan is looking for when the sheet is handed across the counter.
Your record is not part of the transaction. An image is enough, so nothing is posted, stamped or written on. Where the record is a civil one, Cardiff Register Office at City Hall, Cathays Park, Cardiff CF10 3ND issues a fresh certified copy of a birth, marriage or death, and the Chinese can be produced from that copy instead.
The language Taiwan requires
Chinese is the language, and a certified translation into Chinese in Cardiff carries the whole sheet into it — the printed heading, the reference in the corner, the small text along the bottom edge and the wording set around a seal. The translator holds the credential for both the Simplified and the Traditional forms, so the script is settled with the order rather than left hanging.
British names stay traceable. A person keeps the spelling printed on their record, and the office or school that issued it keeps its English name so a reader can find it again. Where a term has no clean match, an official Chinese translation in Cardiff gives the meaning in plain words and leaves the English standing beside it.
Certification Taiwan accepts
A certified translation for Taiwan is signed and dated by the translator who wrote it, with the company mark applied to the same sheet. The statement itself is short: the person, the credential they hold, a claim that the Chinese matches the source, and the day it was written. Nothing about it is decorative.
Keep the Chinese and your own sheet together when you hand anything in. The stamped statement points back at a specific source document, so the pair is read as one item. Split them up and a reader has words with a mark on them but no way to see what they were taken from.
Per-page cost and the clock
Pricing sits at about £25 a page and follows printed faces, so a crowded certificate and a nearly blank one cost alike. The count comes out of the pile you send rather than out of how demanding the wording turns out to be, and you agree the full figure before any work begins on the file.
Standard delivery is 3–5 business days once every image has arrived, and express delivery is 48 hours. The express lane is chosen when the order opens; asking for it after a long file is under way rarely buys back the days. A poor photograph is the usual reason a job starts later than it could have.
