Call the sheet what the sheet calls itself

The heading at the top does the work

Awards go by many names in daily speech. The sheet in your hand, though, carries one printed heading, and that is what a certified translation of a Diploma in United Kingdom renders. A translator does not relabel an award or promote it to a grander title, because the claim being signed is that the two sheets say the same thing.

This matters most when you are describing the job to someone else. Quoting from memory invites a mismatch between what you asked for and what arrives. Once the image is in front of the translator the heading is simply read off the page, and the finished text follows it, along with the dates and the name printed underneath.

What else is printed on an award

An award sheet is short but crowded. Alongside the heading there is a person's name, a date, the name of the body that granted it, and often a line of ceremonial wording. All of it is carried across, including the parts that read as decoration, because a reader comparing the two sheets expects to find the same items in the same order.

One sheet, or several

The award states that something was granted. A separate record of marks, where one exists, lists what was studied and how it was graded. They are different documents with different uses, and an official translation of a Diploma in London does not silently include the second one. Deciding at the start which sheets go in keeps both the cost and the outcome predictable.

Who signs, and what the signature claims

The work is signed by an ITI/CIOL-qualified certified translator. Their statement of accuracy gives their name, the date and a description of the sheet translated, then states that the translation is complete and true to it. It says nothing about the standing of the award itself; that is a separate matter and not something a translator is placed to judge.

Cost, days and your own paper

The translation cost for a Diploma in London is about £25 a page, with 2–3 business days as standard and 24 hours on express. Work runs from an image, so the award stays in your file. Westminster Register Office at 317 Harrow Road, London W9 3RJ issues certified copies of birth, marriage and death entries only, so a replacement award is a matter for the body that granted it.

Diploma translation FAQ

I call mine a degree. Does the wording matter?

In conversation, no. On paper it decides what the finished text says. The translator renders the heading that is printed on your sheet rather than the word you happen to use, so a sheet headed one way will not come back headed another. This is why a quote is given once the image has been seen, not from a description over the phone.

Is the record of marks part of the same job?

Only if you send it. An award and a list of results are two separate documents, and a certified translation of a Diploma in London covers the award alone unless the other sheets are included. People often send one and assume the other travelled with it, then find a gap later. Sending both together avoids a second round of work.

Does the translator need to be sworn?

No — a sworn translation of a Diploma in London is not what this work involves, and no oath is taken before a court. The signature comes from an ITI/CIOL-qualified certified translator on a statement of accuracy, which names them and the sheet they worked from. That statement is produced with every set as standard rather than being an extra you select.

What is the price and how quickly is it done?

The rate is about £25 a page. An award is usually one side, so the bill is short; a long list of results costs more simply because there is more of it. Standard work is finished in 2–3 business days and express work in 24 hours, and the rate stays the same whichever of the two you pick.

Which language should the text be in?

That one thing is not settled here, because it depends on where the file is going. Ask the office that will read your papers to name the language in writing, then the work is done into exactly that language. Everything else — the signature, the statement of accuracy, the page rate — is the same whatever answer comes back.
