Certified translation in the UK typically costs between £12.99 and £35+ per page, depending on the provider. This guide breaks down pricing, what should be included, and how to ensure you get value for money.
What is the average cost of certified translation in the UK?
UK certified translation prices range from £12.99 to £35+ per page. The average is around £20–£25 per page. Prices vary by provider, not by language — reputable services charge the same rate for all language pairs.
The UK translation market includes a wide range of providers from freelancers to large agencies. Pricing is typically per page (for certified translations) or per word (for non-certified translations).
Some providers charge per word (typically £0.08–£0.15 per word for certified translation), which can make costs harder to predict. Per-page pricing, like our £12.99/page rate, gives you certainty about costs upfront.
- Budget providers: £12.99–£18/page
- Mid-range agencies: £20–£28/page
- Premium agencies: £30–£45/page
- Per-word pricing: £0.08–£0.15/word (roughly £20–£40/page)
What should be included in the price?
A certified translation price should include the translation itself, the statement of accuracy, translator credentials, and digital delivery. Watch out for providers who charge extra for certification, formatting, or the statement of accuracy.
Some providers advertise low base prices but add surcharges for certification, formatting, rush delivery, or the statement of accuracy. Our price of £12.99 per page includes everything — translation, statement of accuracy, translator credentials, and digital delivery within 24 hours.
