Svetlana Petrova

“I was so impressed with how quickly Translations.co.uk handled my request. The service was fast, professional, and above all, reliable.”

Client Background

Svetlana Petrova is originally from Russia. She needed to translate her driving licence to drive across the UK. However, her original license was written in Russian. The UK Home Office required an accurate, certified English translation of her Russian driving licence. Therefore, she approached Translations.co.uk for professional and certified driving licence translation services.

Challenges

She faced the following challenges: 

1. DVLA Compliance: The DVLA requires certified translations for foreign driving licenses to be valid.
2. Language Barrier: Her Russian driving license was in Cyrillic, which required translation to meet UK standards.
3. Time Sensitivity: She had a tight schedule and needed the translation done quickly to avoid delays on her way to work.

Solution

We assigned a skilled Russian-English translator to ensure linguistic and cultural accuracy. Our translator formatted the translated document to match UK legal expectations. Furthermore, we assigned a second linguist for quality assurance and to review the translation for accuracy. Lastly, we delivered a certified and stamped driving licence within 48 hours.

Results

She was able to submit her driving application on time and receive her UK driving license without complications. Furthermore, the DVLA quickly accepted her translated driving licence, and this expedited the entire process. This acceptance allowed her to start driving right away.
