Pricing
If you need a marriage certificate translated for a visa, court, or government form, you’re probably asking one simple question: how much will it cost? On this page, you’ll find our full price list, what changes the price, and which option is right for your document.
Our prices start from £49 for a standard certified translation. The final price depends on the type of certification you need, how fast you need it back, and what the document is for. Every price on this page is final and shown before you place your order, so there are no surprises later.
How Much Does It Cost To Translate A Marriage Certificate
Here is our full pricing list. Pick the option that matches what your visa, court, or government body has asked for.
| Service | Price From | Turnaround Time | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Certified Translation | £49 | 3–5 working days | UKVI, visas, universities |
| Notarised Translation | £89 | 3–5 working days | Courts, embassies, legal use |
| Certified + Notarised Bundle | £129 | 3–5 working days | Complex immigration cases |
| Same-Day Urgent Translation | £109 | Same day | Close deadlines, urgent visas |
| Express Delivery | Custom quote | 24–48 hours | Faster than standard, less urgent than same-day |
| Apostille-Ready Translation | Enquire for price | Varies | Documents used outside the UK |
A certified translation is the option most people need. It is what UKVI and the Home Office ask for on almost every visa form. A notarised translation costs more because a notary public also checks the translator’s identity, which courts and some embassies require.
What Affects The Cost Of Your Translation Order
A few simple things decide your final price. None of them are hidden or confusing — once you know what they are, working out your own price becomes easy. Here’s what they are and why they matter.
1. Type of certification you need
This is the biggest factor. A certified marriage certificate translation only needs the translator’s signed statement confirming the translation is accurate and complete. A notarised translation needs a notary public too, who checks the translator’s identity and witnesses the certification. That extra check takes more time and involves a professional fee, which is why notarised translations cost more.
2. How fast you need it back
Standard orders take 3–5 working days and cost less because the work fits into a translator’s normal schedule. Same-day and express orders cost more because a translator has to prioritise your document over other work, sometimes finishing it outside normal working hours. If your deadline is more than a week away, standard turnaround is usually the more affordable choice.
3. The language of your certificate
Common languages like Polish, Urdu, or Spanish usually cost less because more certified translators handle them, which keeps pricing competitive. Rare languages — such as Mongolian, Khmer, or Burmese — can cost a little more since fewer certified specialists are available to do the work. Either way, we confirm your exact price for your specific language before you order.
4. What the translation is for
UKVI, courts, HMRC, and embassies don’t always ask for the same thing. Some only need a certified translation, while others insist on notarisation, and a few require both together. Sending the wrong type isn’t just a wasted cost — it can also lead to your document being rejected and having to start again. Knowing this before you order saves you time as well as money.
5. Extra copies or delivery options
A digital PDF is included in every order, ready to attach to an online application or print yourself. If you need a printed copy posted to you, or more than one certified copy for different offices or family members, this is added as a small extra fee. You can add these options at checkout or mention them when you ask for your quote.

If you’re not sure which one applies to you, that’s completely normal. Most people aren’t. Send us your certificate and tell us what it’s for, and we’ll tell you the exact price before you pay anything.
Extra Charges You Might See On Your Order
These are optional extras. You only pay for them if you actually need them.
| Add-On | Extra Cost |
|---|---|
| Additional certified copy | +£10 |
| Notary verification fee | +£60 |
| Printed and posted hard copy (UK) | +£15 |
| Apostille preparation support | +£75 |
There are no hidden charges beyond what’s listed here. What you see in your quote is what you pay.
Do You Offer Discounts For Multiple Marriage Certificates
If you need more than one marriage certificate translated, or you’re a solicitor sending several client documents at once, our per-document price goes down as the order size goes up. Bulk pricing works well for families applying together, agencies, and law firms with regular volume.
| Number Of Certificates | Price Per Certificate | You Save |
|---|---|---|
| 1 document | £49 (standard rate) | — |
| 2–4 documents | £44 per document | Around 10% |
| 5–9 documents | £39 per document | Around 20% |
| 10+ documents | Custom quote | Best available rate |
Bulk pricing applies to certified translations as the base rate. If your documents also need notarising, that fee is added per document since each one needs its own notary check. To get an exact bulk quote, send us all your certificates together and tell us the certification type needed — we’ll reply with one combined price, not separate quotes for each file.
Honest Pricing With No Hidden Extras
We keep our pricing simple on purpose. Immigration and legal paperwork is stressful enough without having to guess what a translation will cost. Every price on this page reflects real work: a native-language specialist translating your certificate, a review for accuracy, and a signed certification statement that UK authorities recognise. There’s no charge for things you don’t need, and no reason to pay more than your document requires.
