Your family record book, translated in full
We translate family record books from any language into English (or another language you choose): the holder's details, spouse, children, dates of marriage and birth, and the civil status office's entries and stamps. The translation follows the layout of your original, so it is easy to compare line by line.
Family record books (livret de famille, kunnash al-hala al-madaniya, hukou and similar) have many pages. Upload the pages your application needs.

What the Home Office asks for, and what you get
The Home Office guidance says documents that are not in English or Welsh need a translation that can be checked. It should include:
- confirmation that it is an accurate translation of the original document
- the date of the translation
- the full name and signature of the translator, or of an authorised official of the translation company
- the translator's or translation company's contact details and, for applications made in the UK, their credentials
- for applications made outside the UK, a translation the Home Office can verify
Every Diava PDF ends with a certificate of translation that covers each of these. It is signed by an authorised official of Mr Computer EdTech Ltd (trading as Diava), a translation company registered in England and Wales, and carries a reference anyone can check at diava.co.uk/verify. A bilingual reviewer you choose also signs a statement that goes on the PDF. See an example →
No visa office approves translation companies in advance, so nobody can honestly promise a translation is "approved by the Home Office". Some other countries need a sworn or notarised translation: check what your application asks for.

Questions
Is a Diava family record book translation accepted for a UK visa?
Every PDF comes with a certificate of translation that includes everything the Home Office guidance asks for: confirmation of accuracy, the date, the full name and signature of an authorised official, our contact details and credentials, and a reference the Home Office can verify. We can't promise any decision, because no visa office approves translation companies in advance.
