Nepali on the page

Nepal keeps its written record in Nepali, so an English certificate from Reading is read once a Nepali version sits beside it. Devanagari script and the English alphabet share nothing visually, which makes layout matter: the text is built sheet for sheet so that each line answers the line opposite it.

Certification and what it proves

An ITI or CIOL qualified certified translator does the work and signs a certificate of accuracy naming both languages, their own qualification and the date. This is the certification UK bodies such as UKVI and the General Register Office accept, and it is the page a receiving reader turns to first. It is fixed to the bundle, never sent separately.

Cost, timing and the usual papers

The rate is about £25 a page of the source, with standard delivery in 2-3 business days and express delivery within 24 hours. Student files, employment records, birth and marriage entries and police checks make up most of the traffic. A certified translation for Nepal is prepared the same way for each of them.

Nepali records use a different calendar. What happens to dates?

Nepal commonly works with the Bikram Sambat calendar, while your UK certificate carries a Gregorian date. The translation states the date exactly as your English page gives it rather than converting it into another system. A conversion would put a figure on the page that the source never carried, and a reader comparing the two would spot it.

Which script is used?

Nepali is written in Devanagari, so the finished sheet looks entirely unlike your English one. That is expected. A certified translation into Nepali in Reading keeps the layout of the source, so headings and reference numbers land in the same places and a reader can move between the two pages line by line.

Is a sworn Nepali translator in Reading needed?

No — a sworn Nepali translator in Reading is not the credential named for this work. The route uses a certified translation signed by an ITI or CIOL qualified translator, which is the certification UK bodies such as UKVI and the General Register Office accept. That signed page goes abroad with the file rather than staying behind.

What is the cost per sheet?

About £25 for each page of the source. The count is by sheet and not by word, so a transcript packed with subject lines costs what a one-line birth entry costs. You can add up your own pages from the scan before ordering, and nothing extra is charged for stamps or seals.

How long does a certified translation in Reading for Nepal take?

Standard work is finished in 2-3 business days from the moment your scan arrives, and express work is ready within 24 hours. An official Nepali translation in Reading carries an identical certificate at either speed. Where a visa slot or an enrolment date is already booked, the express lane is the one worth paying for.

Should I send my certificate by post?

No, and there is no reason to. A clear scan is everything the translator works from, and the certificate refers to that copy. Where a fresh paper record is wanted as well, Reading Register Office at Civic Offices, Bridge Street, Reading RG1 2LU issues certified copies of birth, marriage and death records, so nothing irreplaceable has to move.
