HM Land Registry Translation - Certified Papers for Your Title Application
Changing the name on a title, adding a new owner or recording a death often needs papers that were issued abroad. Our HM Land Registry translation service prepares foreign certificates, deeds and company records in English, ready to send with your application.
Each certified translation for Land Registry use carries the translator's signed statement, full name and date. It follows the layout of the original, so every detail can be matched.

Registries and Advisers Who Check Your Translated Title Papers
Before a title is updated, your papers may pass through several offices. Translating papers for the Land Registry is one of the certified translation services across the UK we offer, and each document is set out so it can be checked quickly.
HM Land Registry covers England and Wales only. If your home is in Scotland or Northern Ireland, tell us and we will prepare your papers for the right office.
Changing Owners or Names? When the Registry Needs Translations
Most title changes need proof. When that proof was issued in another country, it must be sent with a translation for HM Land Registry.
Changing Your Name After Marriage
A foreign marriage certificate shows why your name on the title should change.
Removing a Joint Owner Who Has Died
A death certificate from abroad is needed to update the title to the surviving owner.
Moving a Home Into One Name After Divorce
A foreign divorce order translation shows the court's decision if you divorced abroad.
Selling Through Someone Acting for You
A power of attorney made abroad must be read before your attorney can sign.
A Company From Abroad Owning Property
Proof that the company exists and who can sign for it is often needed.
Inheriting a UK Home From Abroad

Why Caseworkers Raise Requisitions on Translated Registry Papers
A requisition is a request for more information, and your application waits until it is answered. These are common reasons it happens with translated title evidence.
Translator Statement Missing
Without a signed statement that the translation is accurate, it may not be accepted.
Names Not Matching the Register
If a name is spelt one way on the title and another way in the translation, questions follow.
Dates Written Differently
Some countries write the month first. A date read the wrong way can cause confusion.
Only Part of the Paper Translated
The registry needs to see the whole document, not only the key lines.
Stamps and Seals Left Out
Official stamps help show the document is real, so they must be described.
Original Not Sent With It
The translation should go with a copy of the original, so the two can be compared.
What a Requisition Means for You
The registry sets a time limit to reply. If a sale or transfer depends on the title, a delay can hold up everyone involved.

Title Application Translation Questions Answered Before You Send Papers
Short answers to what homeowners and conveyancers ask before ordering a translation for HM Land Registry.
It is safer to use a professional translator. The translation should be certified as accurate, and one done by someone connected to the application may be queried.
No. HM Land Registry accepts documents in English or Welsh. Any other language needs a translation.
Usually not. A certified translation with the translator's signed statement is normally what is needed. Your conveyancer can confirm this for your case.
Usually a certified copy of the original is sent with the translation, so you can keep the original. Your conveyancer will tell you what they need.
Yes. If family members abroad need to read your title, we can translate it from English into their language.
Often, yes, after your conveyancer checks it closely. With foreign POA translation, the full document is covered, including notary pages.
No. The translation stays valid as long as the original is still the right document for your application.
