Common Chinese Documents We Translate
What Chinese documents need translation for a UK visa?
Chinese documents commonly requiring translation include notarised birth certificates, hukou (household registration), degree certificates, bank statements, and marriage certificates. Chinese documents often come with Chinese notarisation which is different from UK requirements.
Chinese official documents have unique characteristics that require specialist translation knowledge. Birth certificates, for example, are often issued as notarised extracts rather than original certificates. The hukou (户口本) household registration booklet is frequently required as a supporting document.
Chinese degree certificates may be issued in simplified or traditional characters depending on the institution and region. Our translators handle both character sets fluently.
- Notarised birth certificate extracts (出生公证)
- Hukou — household registration booklet (户口本)
- Degree certificates and academic transcripts
- Marriage certificates (结婚证)
- Bank statements from Chinese banks
- Police clearance certificates (无犯罪记录证明)
- Employment verification letters
- Property ownership certificates
Do you translate both simplified and traditional Chinese?
Yes, we translate both simplified Chinese (used in mainland China) and traditional Chinese (used in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau). Our translators are fluent in both character systems.
Mainland Chinese documents use simplified characters (简体字), while documents from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau use traditional characters (繁體字). Some older mainland documents may also use traditional characters. Our translators handle all variants.
How much does Chinese to English translation cost?
Chinese to English certified translation costs from £12.99 per page — the same rate as all language pairs. Chinese notarised birth certificates are typically 2 pages. Degree certificates are 1–2 pages.
We do not charge premium rates for Chinese translation despite its complexity. Our fixed per-page pricing applies regardless of whether the document uses simplified or traditional characters.
