Documents often translated for this application
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.
