Visa Translation Services

Yes. Any document that is not in English needs a full English translation, with the translator's certification that it is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent in both languages. Tomedes provides that certificate with every certified translation.

The regulation requires the translator to certify competence and accuracy, but a translation by the applicant is easy for an adjudicator to question, and IRCC does not accept translations by applicants or family members. A third-party certified translation is the safer route for any visa.

Yes, documents not in English or Welsh need a translation the Home Office can verify, with the translator's confirmation of accuracy, the date, their full name and signature, and their contact details. Tomedes provides all four on every certified translation. See the Tomedes UK visa translation guide.

No. A certified translation carries the translator's signed statement of accuracy, while a notarized translation adds a notary's confirmation of the signer's identity. Many authorities ask only for the certified one, so check the checklist for yours. Tomedes can add notarization or an apostille on request.

Documents of 1 to 3 pages usually arrive within 24 to 48 hours as a certified PDF, and larger files within 1 to 3 business days. Rush options are available for a premium, so share your appointment or filing date when you ask for the quote.

Yes. Bank statements, employment letters, tax records and sponsor documents are translated and certified the same way as civil records. For long statements, ask the authority whether a full translation is required, and Tomedes will quote accordingly.

A free tool can help you read a document, but it has no translator to certify it, so it cannot meet the certification requirement of USCIS, IRCC or the UK Home Office. Tomedes uses technology to speed up the work only where it helps, and a human translator reviews, certifies and signs every document.

Yes. Tomedes offers expedited options so documents are ready for your submission date. Tell the project manager the deadline, and the quote, which arrives within 15 minutes, 24/7, includes the delivery date.

Translators with legal and immigration terminology knowledge translate, and a second linguist reviews each document under ISO 17100:2015 standards. The 1-Year Quality Guarantee covers corrections, delivered within 24 to 48 hours at no extra cost.

Yes. Tomedes handles every document under strict confidentiality, with access limited to the assigned team, throughout the visa translation process.
