Client Background

Our EU national client was married to a British citizen and applying for UK naturalization. The UK Home Office required a certified English translation of their Spanish marriage certificate as part of the application.

However, the client was unaware of the specific translation requirements, including certification and compliance with UKVI (UK Visas and Immigration) standards. Facing a strict submission deadline, they needed a fast and legally compliant translation to avoid delays.

Challenges

The client encountered several hurdles:

✅ The marriage certificate translation needed to meet UKVI and UK Home Office certification standards, including an official certification statement and translator credentials.

✅ The applicant was unfamiliar with the legal translation process and naturalization requirements.

✅ The document needed certified translation within 24 hours to prevent delays in the citizenship application.

✅ The Spanish marriage certificate contained complex legal terminology and official formatting that had to be precisely replicated in English.

Solution

• We quickly assessed the client’s needs and provided clear guidance on the process.
• A native Spanish-speaking sworn translator with legal expertise was assigned to the project to ensure accurate legal terminology and formatting and alignment with UKVI and UK Home Office standards.
• Once the translation was completed, a second linguist reviewed the document to ensure 100% accuracy, consistency, and authority compliance.
• The final document was then certified with an official certification statement and a signed and stamped declaration of accuracy.
• Given the tight deadline, we expedited the process and delivered the certified translation within 12 hours.

Results

✅ The translation was accepted without issue because it met all UK Home Office requirements.

✅ Ensured the client submitted their citizenship application on time.

✅ The certificate was processed smoothly, requiring no modifications.

✅ The client praised our efficiency and attention to detail, recommending our services to others.
