Key UKVI Translation Requirements
- 1Every certified translation carries the translator's name, signature, contact details, and a signed accuracy declaration.
- 2Translations are handled confidentially and securely, appropriate to the sensitivity of protection claims.
- 3Faithful, complete translation is essential — nuance in persecution evidence can be decisive.
- 4Where a document is partially illegible, the translator adds a clear note rather than omitting content.
