Frequently asked questions

Do you translate both sides of a national ID card?

Yes. Most national ID cards include key verification details on the reverse side. Our identity card translation covers the front and back wherever applicable.

Can I submit a photo from my phone, or do you need a scan?

A clear phone photo is usually fine. Make sure the full card is visible, text is sharp, and there’s no glare.

Will the translation include my ID number and personal details?

Yes—because official submissions typically require a complete translation.

Are your national ID card translation services accepted for immigration?

We prepare translations specifically for official submission and include the required certification statement.

What must a certified national ID card translation include?

A certified translation must include a full translation of all visible text, a signed Certificate of Accuracy, and the translator’s full name, contact details, and date. This is the standard required by UK authorities including the Home Office and UKVI.

Will you translate stamps, seals, and handwritten notes on the ID card?

Yes. We translate all visible text. If handwriting is unclear, we mark it clearly and tell you what we can and can’t read from the image provided — so there are no surprises when you submit.

Can I send a photo from my phone, or do you need a scanned PDF?

A clear photo is fine. We’ll confirm if it’s readable and advise if any page needs a better image before we start. Both sides of the document should be included if there is text on the reverse.

Do you offer notarised translations and apostille/legalisation services?

Yes, where required. If your authority asks for notarisation and/or an apostille, tell us the destination country and we’ll advise the correct steps.

How much does a certified national ID card translation cost?

Pricing depends on length, language pair, and turnaround. Most translations are competitively priced.

How fast can I get my certified national ID card translation?

Many national ID cards can be turned around same-day or within a few days, depending on the requirements.
