Frequently Asked Questions
Handing over private papers to a legal translation provider in London brings real worries about privacy, originals, name spellings, payment and what happens if a UK office says no. The answers below cover the doubts Londoners raise just before they place an order.
Yes. Files arrive through an encrypted upload, only the linguist assigned to your order can open them, and they are deleted after delivery unless you ask us to keep a copy. This matters for London clients sending asylum papers, court evidence or medical records.
If a borough council, UKVI or a London court turns it down because of our wording or layout, we correct and reissue it free of charge. Just forward us the note the office sent you.
Usually, yes. Send the clearest photo you can take. If a stamp or word truly cannot be read, we mark it as illegible rather than guess, which is what UK offices expect, and we tell you before starting if a better scan would help.
No. We work from a scan or photo, so your originals stay with you. That helps when you still need your passport for travel or for an appointment at Lunar House in Croydon.
Tell us how your name appears on your UK passport, visa record or bank account, and we will use exactly that spelling throughout, so the translation matches the records London offices already hold.
Yes. Ask for a draft when you order and we will send it first, so you can confirm names, dates and addresses. We certify and issue the final copy only after you approve it.
You pay online only after you accept the fixed quote. The amount you approve is the final amount, with nothing added later for London delivery or small corrections.
