Witness evidence
Translate final statements with numbering, dates, names and declarations intact.
An immigration appeal may involve statements, overseas civil records, letters and other evidence in several languages. Accurate translation matters because the tribunal and parties must be able to trace the English text back to the original document and understand its meaning in context.
The legal representative determines which evidence is necessary, what must be filed and when. The translator should not recommend appeal grounds or decide legal relevance. A certified translation is one component of the evidential file, not a promise of appeal success.
The right translation format depends on the source language, receiving organisation, document scope and deadline. Send the full file for a quotation rather than assuming every record has the same requirements.
Documents can contain different formats, sources and terminology. The following areas are assessed when relevant to your project.
Translate final statements with numbering, dates, names and declarations intact.
Preserve family and identity details from certificates and registries.
Translate decision letters, administrative correspondence and case references.
Keep issuing authorities, orders and procedural terms traceable.
Maintain file references, page numbers and attachments in the original order.
Confirm tribunal directions and required form of translation certification before starting.
The receiving authority or professional decides how the translated material is used.
Foreign-language evidence requested for an immigration appeal bundle.
Documents requiring review before a case is prepared or lodged.
Written records to be translated and, where separately arranged, explained through interpretation.
A quote should identify the pages, language pair, necessary formatting and requested certification. When a signed statement is needed, its wording and signatory are confirmed against the recipient’s instructions.
Readable names, dates, numbers, stamps and attached pages should be reflected in the scope. Other forms of authentication, professional approval or legal review are separate from translation.
Tell us the language of the original document and the language needed for submission.
For evidence, records and official documentation submitted to a UK recipient.
For documents used abroad, where local sworn translation or legalisation may be separately required.
Witness statement translation should not be confused with interpreting a statement to a client who cannot read the language used. Any session to explain or verify a statement must be separately instructed. The legal representative remains responsible for ensuring procedural and filing compliance.

Physical dispatch and delivery times are different from the document translation timetable.
No. The tribunal determines admissibility and weight of evidence, and the legal representative decides how the documents are submitted.
Yes, send a complete list of the files in scope so terminology and references can be checked.
The solicitor or tribunal directions determine the required form; if supplied, its text should be included in the agreed translation.
