Notarial Deed Translation UK - Every Seal, Clause and Signature Kept
A deed signed before a notary in Spain, Italy, Poland or elsewhere can decide who owns a home, a share of an estate or part of a company. Our notarial deed translation turns every clause into English while keeping the notary's name, reference number and seals in place.
Each certified translation of a notarial act comes with a signed statement from the translator, so solicitors, banks and UK registries can rely on it and check it line by line against the original.

Inherited, Sold or Gifted: When Notarial Documents Need Translation
In many countries, big life events are recorded by a notary. These are the moments when people in the UK most often ask for a certified notarial translation.
Buying or Selling a Home Abroad
The sale is often recorded by a notary, and house deed translation handles the title papers that go with it.
Inheriting From a Relative Abroad
A declaration of heirs shows who inherits. UK banks and solicitors need to read it.
Receiving a Gift of Property or Money
A gift deed shows where money or property came from, which your bank may ask about.
Setting Up or Changing a Company Abroad
Company deeds signed before a notary may be needed for UK filings or bank accounts.
Marriage Contracts and Prenups
A marriage contract made before a notary can matter in a UK divorce or property case.
Letting Someone Act for You
A power of attorney signed at a notary lets another person deal with your affairs.
A Loan Secured on Property Abroad
Loan and mortgage deeds show what is owed and on which property.
A Dispute Over Land or an Estate
Courts and lawyers need the full deed in English to understand what was agreed.
Reporting a Gift or Inheritance for Tax
Your tax adviser may need the deed to show HMRC what you received and when.
Sale, Heirship and Company Public Deeds We Translate
Notaries issue many kinds of paper, from full deeds to short notarial certificates. These are the ones clients send us most.

Gift Deeds
Property or money given by one person to another, often within a family.
Loan & Mortgage Deeds
Loans secured on land or a home, with the amounts and terms.

Formal statements made before a notary, such as proof of status.
Where Foreign Deed Translations Go Wrong and Cause Delays
A public deed can run to many pages, and small gaps in its translation are easy to miss. These problems most often lead to questions from a solicitor or registry.
Notary Details Left Out
The notary's name, office and deed number show the deed is real. Without them, it can be questioned.
Seals and Stamps Ignored
Every seal, stamp and tax stamp should be described, not skipped.
Property Details Shortened
Land references, boundaries and sizes must be translated in full.
Legal Terms Guessed
Some terms have no UK match. They need a clear note, not a best guess.
Margin Notes Missed
Later notes in the margin can change what the deed means today.
Apostille Page Not Translated
If an apostille is attached, the reader will want to see that page in English too.
Why Small Details Count
Deeds often decide ownership. If one part is unclear, a solicitor or registry may stop and ask for more, and a sale or estate can wait weeks.

Built for Detail: What Sets Our Notarial Translation Apart
Translating a notarial deed means keeping formal legal wording exact while making sure a UK reader can follow every clause.
Clause by Clause · Seal by Seal
Your translation follows the same clause numbers and page order as the original, so a solicitor can place the two side by side and check any line.
Clause Numbers Kept
Every clause keeps its number, so references in letters still make sense.
Names Match Your ID
We spell names as they appear on your passport when you send it.
Property Details in Full
Addresses, land references and sizes are never shortened.
Legal Terms Explained
Where a term has no UK match, we add a short note.
Apostille Included
Any apostille page is translated as part of the same order.
Corrections at No Cost
If a detail is wrong on our side, a corrected translation follows free of charge.
Using the Deed Abroad as Well?
Just ask. If the translation will also be used outside the UK, we can arrange UK notary certification and an apostille.

Notarial Act Questions Answered Before You Place Your Order
Short answers to what people ask before sending notary papers to us.
It is an official document signed in front of a notary, who checks who you are and keeps a record of it. Many countries use them for sales, gifts and estates. They are much less common in the UK.
Usually the whole deed. Solicitors and registries want to see every page, so a part translation may lead to more questions. Only choose part if the person reading it agrees in writing.
Inside the UK, a certified translation normally does the job. If it will be sent abroad, you may also need a notary and an apostilled document translation.
A clear scan or photo of every page is enough. You keep your original deed.
Yes, as long as it can be read. Any word that cannot be read is marked clearly, so nothing is guessed.
No. We translate what the deed says, but we do not give legal advice. Your solicitor can explain what it means for you.
Send us your passport and we will note the passport spelling, so the reader can see it is the same person.
