Certified translation in Sunderland for use in Taiwan
Taiwanese authorities ask for a certified translation into Chinese in Sunderland for any record that will be presented to a Taiwanese office. The translation must be prepared by a translator who holds a certified Chinese (Simplified/Traditional) credential, and it is sealed with the company’s official stamp. Because the destination is Taiwan, the file must include a certified translation for Taiwan, which confirms that the wording matches the original record exactly. The fee is £25 per page, and the standard route delivers the finished copy within three to five business days; an express option can return the work in forty‑eight hours. This service keeps the original paper at the source and only the translated copy receives the stamp.
The language Taiwan requires
Chinese is the sole language accepted by the Taiwanese bureaucracy, so you need an official Chinese translation in Sunderland that reflects the same characters used in Taiwan’s official forms. The translator’s oath is not required; a sworn Chinese translator in Sunderland is not part of the process, because the company‑issued stamp already provides the legal guarantee. The original record, such as a birth or marriage certificate, stays with the issuing office; you can request a fresh certified copy from the Sunderland Registration Service at City Hall, Plater Way, Sunderland SR1 3AA, which works by post and never asks you to send the original away. This approach protects the primary paper while still delivering a legally recognised copy.
Certification Taiwan accepts
Taiwan recognises a translation that carries a company stamp as the proper certification, and the same rule applies to a certified translation in Sunderland for Taiwan. The stamped page must be attached to the front of the translation bundle, and a separate cover sheet can note the translator’s name and qualification. The Taiwanese office will look for the stamp as proof that the translation has not been altered after it was produced. No extra oath or notarisation is required, and the translation can be sent directly to the Taiwanese consular desk or the relevant government department once the original certified copy has been obtained.
Per-page cost & turnaround
The cost per page is fixed at £25, which covers the translator’s work, the company stamp and any administrative handling. After you send us a clear scan of the certified copy, the translation is prepared and the stamp is applied. The normal delivery window is three to five business days, giving you enough time to meet most appointment schedules in Taiwan. If your deadline is tighter, the express route finishes the job in forty‑eight hours for an extra fee. All timing information is calculated from the moment we receive the scanned copy, not from when the original is ordered.
Acceptance in Taiwan
In Taiwan, the stamped translation is presented alongside the original certified copy to the relevant authority, such as the Ministry of the Interior for identity records or the Ministry of Justice for legal filings. The officials compare the two items and, because the translation bears the recognised company stamp, they can accept it without further checks. This means that once you have the translated bundle ready, you can submit it directly to the Taiwanese office that requested the document, whether it is for a passport renewal, a property purchase or an academic credential review. The whole route from Sunderland to Taipei therefore relies on the single step of obtaining a certified, stamped translation.
