I am a student in Germany. I would like to visit the UK as a tourist for a few days. I am not sure where I can get my document translated. Is there any online service which does this?

Visitor: supporting documents guide

This guidance explains the documents you may need to provide in support of your application to visit the UK.

All documents must be originals and not photocopies. Submission of these documents does not guarantee that your application will be successful and you should bear this in mind when making any bookings.

If you submit a document that is not in English or Welsh, it must be accompanied by a full translation that can be independently verified by the Home Office.

Each translated document must contain:

  • confirmation from the translator that it is an accurate translation of the original document
  • the date of the translation
  • the translator's full name and signature
  • the translator's contact details

Above section contain the rules for translation. It requires signature and date. So should I go to a lawyer for this?

Can someone give a few hints on this? What is the average cost for translation per page?

The keyword to search for is beglaubigte übersetzung (add either your city or online to the query).

You will find heaps of certified translators. Even those not operating completely online are usually able to receive your documents via mail and provide you a scan of their translation quickly.

This is not necessarily cheap, a few years ago I paid 130€ for translating a four page transcript of records. If you are enrolled in an university, the language service of my university at the time would also have been able to do a certified translation for me (at little or no cost), however at a waiting time beyond my needs.
