Alphatrad Glasgow offers certified translations into all official European languages as well as many non-European ones. A certified translation is used to confirm that the content of a translated document complies with the original fully and accurately.
We offer two types of certified translations:
Certified (official) translations (declaration from Alphatrad)
A certified translation is a translation that also comes with a signed and stamped declaration from Alphatrad. It will confirm that the project has been carried out by a professional, competent translator and that the translated text is accurate and complete.
Certified (official) translations (from other European countries)
In other European countries sworn translators are authorised by the corresponding government to officially certify a translated document. Depending on your requirements, we can also work with our other European Optilingua counterparts to obtain sworn translations certified by the corresponding country.

In addition to the UK, this includes Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Portugal, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Denmark, and Spain.
