Official document translation

The Word Hub

Professional human translations for personal and official documents

Do you need an official document translated for use in the UK or overseas? At The Word Hub, we consistently deliver accurate, professionally prepared translations that authorities, institutions, and organisations accept with confidence.

Furthermore, we support individuals with translations for visas, immigration, education, employment, and legal or administrative purposes — providing clear pricing, human expertise, and proper certification every step of the way.

Why choose The Word Hub?

Official documents are too important to trust to automated tools.

Therefore, a qualified professional human translator handles every document we translate. We do not use machine translation for official or certified documents, which consequently delivers:

  • Greater accuracy

  • Better handling of names, dates, stamps, and official wording

  • Fewer risks of rejection by authorities

Moreover, 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.

As a result, 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

  • We produce translations in line with ISO 17100:2015, the international quality standard for professional translation services
  • Additionally, certification is provided where required, with a signed statement confirming accuracy and completeness
  • Furthermore, we carry out our work under the professional framework of the Institute of Translation & Interpreting (ITI)

A Simple, straightforward process

You can get started quickly and easily — we guide you directly, 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

Throughout the process, we handle your documents confidentially at every stage.

Fair, transparent pricing

We believe pricing should be clear and fair.

  • We confirm prices before we begin work
  • There are no hidden fees or surprise add-ons
  • We accept payment 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 a professional human translator completed the translation

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
    UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) issues apostilles
  • We do not notarise documents
    If notarisation is necessary, you must arrange it through a notary public

We gladly explain what your application requires and identify any additional services you may need.
