What happens to a sworn statement when it is translated
An affidavit is a statement of facts that you signed and swore was true. Translating it does not touch that act. The English statement stays as it is, oath and signature intact, and a second version is produced beside it in the language the receiving body reads. Both travel together, because one explains the other.
Who does the work, and what they sign
The work is done by an ITI/CIOL-qualified certified translator, and the certification is the standard UK wording: a certified translation accepted by UK authorities including UKVI and the GRO. The translator signs a page naming both languages, listing every page covered and stating that nothing was added or removed. That signed page is what gives the translation standing.
Cost per page and how fast it comes back
Pricing is £25 / page of the English source, with standard delivery in 2–3 business days and express delivery in 24 hours. A certified translation of an Affidavit in United Kingdom practice is usually needed to a court deadline, so the express lane is common. The count includes exhibits, which is where a short statement can turn into a long job.
Where these statements end up
Family proceedings account for a great deal of it, especially where a parent or a witness lives abroad. Estate matters follow, then immigration files and civil claims. An official translation of an Affidavit in Wolverhampton also turns up in company disputes, where a director confirms facts about a transaction for a court sitting in another country.
What gets a file sent back
Incompleteness, almost every time. An exhibit left out of the scan, a signature page missed, a jurat cut off at the bottom of the sheet. A reader counts the pages against the signed accuracy statement before reading a word, so the count has to agree. Send the entire bundle in one go rather than in pieces.
Wolverhampton Register Office at Civic Centre, St Peter's Square, Wolverhampton WV1 1RU is the source for certified copies of birth, marriage and death records, which often sit behind a statement as exhibits. It does not issue affidavits and does not certify translations of them. Ordering a fresh copy there means an irreplaceable record stays with you.
