English is the target here

Official business in South Sudan is conducted in English, so English is what your document is turned into. A certified translation into English in Sheffield is written from a scan, and the source paper stays with you untouched. The finished pages come back signed and dated, and they set out the whole sheet rather than a digest of the interesting parts.

A form is more than its entries

Look at the bottom of any official sheet and you find matter you have never once read: a code, a revision date in tiny type, a warning that the paper is not proof of who you are, the name of whoever printed it. To you that is furniture. To a reader deciding whether the sheet in front of them is real, it is half the evidence.

So all of it is carried across. The entries that were filled in, the headings above them, the notes down the side and the lines along the foot. It adds a modest amount to the page count and it removes an entire category of doubt, which is a trade almost everyone would take if the choice were put to them plainly.

Gaps are information too

The harder case is what is absent. A box with nothing in it, a section crossed out, a heading with an empty line beneath it: these say something specific, and they say it by being empty. A version that shows only the completed fields hands the reader a neater page and a less honest one.

The rule is to show the shape of the sheet as well as its content. Blank stays blank, struck through stays struck through, and a section that does not apply is named and then left unfilled. Nobody has to wonder whether a line went missing between your document and the English version, because the English version accounts for every line.

Cost and timing

The rate is £25 a page and the count comes from your scans before writing begins. Standard work is 2–3 business days and express takes 24 hours. Where the record is a birth, marriage or death entry, Sheffield Register Office at Town Hall, Pinstone Street, Sheffield S1 2HH issues a fresh certified copy, so the paper you already hold need not go anywhere.

Sheffield → South Sudan translation FAQ

Can you translate only the lines I need?

That is not something a signed set can do. The statement on the front says the English matches the document, and it stops being true the moment a line is dropped. A partial version also invites the obvious question about what was left out, which is a far worse conversation than the one you were trying to avoid. So the whole sheet is carried over, small print included.

Why does the tiny print at the bottom matter?

Because it identifies the form itself. A serial code, a print run reference or a line naming the issuing body tells a reader that this is a genuine blank form rather than something typed up at home. A certified translation in Sheffield for South Sudan that quietly dropped those lines would strip out the very marks a careful reader uses to place the document.

What happens to boxes that were left blank?

They are shown as blank. An empty field on a form usually means something, and a reader who sees a heading with nothing under it learns that no entry was made. If the blank simply vanished from the English version, the page would read as though the field never existed. The same goes for a line that has been struck through, which is recorded as struck through.

Do I need a sworn translator for South Sudan?

You do not. A sworn English translator in Sheffield describes a role that exists in countries keeping a register of sworn signers, and no such register is involved here. A certified translation for South Sudan is written by a qualified translator who signs a statement of accuracy carrying their name and the date. That written statement is what makes the pages a record rather than a helpful draft.

What is the rate and the turnaround?

The rate is £25 a page, and the count is settled from your scans before writing starts. Standard work takes 2–3 business days, with express in 24 hours. An official English translation in Sheffield costs the same whether the page is dense with small print or nearly empty, so a busy form is never a more expensive form to have done properly.
