Certified translation in London for use in Italy

Italian authorities demand all foreign official documents be translated into the national language. When your UK birth, marriage or other record is needed there, you must obtain a fresh certified copy before having it translated into Italian. You can order such copies from Westminster Register Office at 317 Harrow Road, London W9 3RJ to protect your original. The copy is then translated by a sworn Italian translator in London who will attach the required certification properly attesting to the accuracy of the official Italian translation in London alongside the English text.

The language Italy requires

Every formal record submitted to any Italian institution must appear in proper Italian, reflecting exactly what the original states. The translation must come from a professional qualified to provide certified translation for Italy. They will not only translate but swear before an Italian court official that the translation is faithful. The UK apostille from the FCDO Legalisation Office at PO Box 6255, Milton Keynes MK10 1XX stays attached to the document but remains in English – only the text portion needs translation.

Certification Italy accepts

The Italian judicial system requires official paperwork to carry the asseverazione stamp, meaning the translator has made a formal statement of accuracy in front of a clerk of the court. A sworn Italian translator provides this crucial certification, which will bear their name, credentials and signature. This qualified professional is authorised to provide certified translation in London for Italy, though for court purposes within Italy, the translator may still need to appear before a local judge depending on the document's intended use.

Per-page cost & turnaround

The cost of having your document formally translated follows the industry rate for work by a sworn translator. Each page of the official record, from marriage certificates to academic transcripts, carries a standard per-page charge. Your turn time for standard service is between two to four business days from the day the translator receives your document, though an express option is available for those needing it faster. Comments about urgency should be raised when first requesting the service, as priorities affect scheduling.

London → Italy translation FAQ

What is a certified translation in London for Italy?

It is an official translation of your non-Italian documents into the Italian language, prepared and certified for use by Italian authorities. A sworn Italian translator examines your paper source carefully and produces a matching Italian version with their signature and credential statement attached. The bundle includes a formal declaration that they translated everything without error or omission. In Italy, this certified route is called traduzione giurata or asseverata. The Registry Office in Westminster can help with getting fresh copies of birth, marriage or death records if you need them for court.

How long does the translation take?

Regular service takes two to four working days after we receive your papers. If you are in a rush, ask about our faster option which delivers in 24 to 48 hours. The speed depends on the document's length and complexity – an academic file with many pages will take longer than a single birth certificate. We always check the Italian version twice before certifying it, so you can be confident it is right. The translation is ready as soon as the sworn translator completes their review and signs the statement of truth.

What exactly does each page cost?

The price comes to about 30 euro per standard page in the final Italian version. Technical or legal texts may need extra care and could cost a little more. We base the total on the final page count of the translation, not the source document, because the layout often changes in the process. Short documents with under 100 words on a page sometimes count as half a page. Everything includes the sworn declaration, secure email delivery of the scanned version, and careful checking against the original.

Can I use this for my Italian court case?

Yes – in fact, the sworn translator's declaration is specifically designed for submitting evidence to tribunals. The court requires this formal stamp and signature to know the Italian words match the original text exactly. What matters is that the translator is recognised as traduttore giurato under Italian rules. If the office needs to verify something, they can contact us directly through the oath we filed. The signed certificate we provide should satisfy even strict court clerks who check the papers before a hearing.

Where in London do I get my birth certificate translated?

Westminster Register Office at 317 Harrow Road issues certified copies of birth, marriage and death records with their official stamp. They do not offer translation services themselves, only copies of the original English certificate they hold once you supply the right details. Either use their certified copy for the process or ask for a fresh one to keep your original safe at home. The sworn translator works from the certified copy, not your only paper. Once ready, the Italian version goes through a final check and receives its own official statement before we send it to you.
