Official document translation

The Word Hub

Professional human translations for personal and official documents

If you need an official document translated for use in the UK or abroad, The Word Hub provides accurate, professionally prepared translations that are accepted by authorities, institutions, and organisations.

We support individuals with translations for visas, immigration, education, employment, and legal or administrative purposes – with clear pricing, human expertise, and proper certification.

Why choose The Word Hub?

Official documents are too important to trust to automated tools.

Every document we translate is handled by a qualified professional human translator. We do not use machine translation for official or certified documents, which delivers:

  • Greater accuracy
  • Better handling of names, dates, stamps, and official wording
  • Fewer risks of rejection by authorities

We are proud Brummies, based in Birmingham, one of the UK’s most diverse and international cities. Every day, we work with people from many cultures, languages, and backgrounds – and we see that diversity as a strength.

Our aim is simple:

  • To support individuals with clear advice
  • To offer fair and transparent pricing
  • To deliver professional, human translations you can rely on

Professional standards you can trust

  • Translations are produced in line with ISO 17100:2015, the international quality standard for professional translation services
  • Certification is provided where required, with a signed statement confirming accuracy and completeness
  • Our work is carried out under the professional framework of the Institute of Translation & Interpreting (ITI)

A Simple, straightforward process

We make it easy to get started – without automated portals or hidden steps.

You can send your documents by:

  • Email – clear scans or photos are fine
  • Post – hard copies sent securely
  • In person – by arrangement at our UK office

Your documents are treated confidentially at every stage.

Fair, transparent pricing

We believe pricing should be clear and fair.

  • Prices are confirmed before work begins
  • No hidden fees or surprise add-ons
  • Payment accepted by debit or credit card via Stripe

If you’re unsure what level of service you need, we’ll explain it clearly before you commit.

Documents we translate

  • Birth certificates
  • Marriage and divorce certificates
  • Academic transcripts, diplomas, and school reports
  • Visa and immigration documents
  • Legal documents such as affidavits, declarations, and contracts

If you’re unsure whether your document is suitable, just ask – we’re happy to advise.

Certified translations – what this means

A certified translation includes:

  • A full, accurate translation of your document
  • A signed certification statement
  • Confirmation that the translation has been completed by a professional translator

Certified translations are commonly required for:

  • UK and overseas visa applications
  • Universities and colleges
  • Employers and professional bodies
  • Courts and legal processes

To avoid confusion:

  • We do not provide apostilles
    Apostilles are issued by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO).
  • We do not notarise documents
    If notarisation is required, this must be arranged through a notary public.

We’re happy to explain what is required for your application and where additional services may be needed.

  1. Email, post, or deliver your document
  2. We confirm price, turnaround time, and certification needs
  3. Your document is translated by a professional human translator
