Foreign bank statements translated line by line — balances, transaction descriptions and bank stamps — for UKVI funds evidence and UK mortgage affordability checks. From £15.59 per page.
Bank statements are the least glamorous document in a visa or mortgage file, and the one that gets read most closely. A caseworker or underwriter isn't glancing at the closing balance: they're matching salary credits to payslips, checking the period has no gaps and reading the description next to every large deposit. A translation that skips the description column leaves them guessing, and guessing tends to end in a request for more information.
We translate statements from any country for spouse visa applications, student visa maintenance evidence, ILR and mortgage applications, each with the signed statement of accuracy UKVI and UK lenders expect. If your statements sit alongside payslip translation, order them together so names, dates and figures read the same way across the whole file.
Any statement, from any bank, in any language. Each translation covers the full page — header, account details, every transaction line, balances and the bank's footer — and is certified with a signed statement of accuracy.

Yes, if any part of the statement is in a language other than English or Welsh — including the transaction descriptions. UKVI requires a certified translation of every foreign-language document you submit, and bank statements are no exception.
Which statements you need depends on the route; the translation rule doesn't change.
For a spouse or partner visa, the sponsor's income has to meet the £29,000 financial requirement (the threshold since 11 April 2024). Salaried sponsors usually evidence it with payslips and bank statements covering the same period, six months under Category A and twelve under Category B, and the statements need to show each salary payment arriving. If you're relying on cash savings instead, the statements must show the money held for at least six months.
For a student visa, maintenance funds must be held for 28 consecutive days, and the statement's end date must fall within 31 days of the date you apply. Funds can sit in a parent's account, but then you'll also need their consent letter and proof of the relationship, usually a birth certificate translation if the certificate isn't in English. Skilled Worker applicants whose sponsor doesn't certify maintenance face the same 28-day rule.
One trap catches a lot of people: statements exported with English column headings but transaction descriptions in the local script. That isn't an English statement, however bilingual it looks at first glance, and UKVI treats it as foreign-language. Our blog post on bank statement translation for UK visas walks through it in detail.
A complete English translation of every page — bank header, account holder, account number, each transaction line, balances and footer — plus a signed statement confirming it's accurate, with the translator's full name, contact details and the date. UKVI does not require notarisation.
Every line is translated: yes, even the late-night takeaway. The figures stay exactly as printed. We don't convert currencies, because UKVI applies its own exchange rate when it assesses the evidence and lenders use their own, so a translator's conversion would only add a second set of numbers that won't match theirs. Where your bank uses a decimal comma (2.450,00) or a different date order, the translation follows UK conventions consistently and a short translator's note explains what changed.
Names get the same care. If the account holder name on the statement is transliterated differently from your passport, we follow your passport spelling and note the original, so the caseworker can see at a glance that it's the same person. Ordering passport and ID translation in the same order keeps the spelling identical across the file. Bank stamps, seals and handwritten annotations are described in the translation rather than quietly left out.
Yes. UK mortgage lenders and brokers that work with foreign income or overseas deposits generally ask for certified English translations of any statement not in English. Exact requirements vary between lenders, so confirm with your broker what the underwriter needs.
For a mortgage, statements do two jobs. They prove affordability, showing that your salary actually lands in the account and your regular outgoings are what you've declared, and they prove where the deposit came from. Lenders commonly ask for the most recent few months; your broker will tell you the exact period.
Your conveyancing solicitor will run separate source-of-funds checks under anti-money-laundering rules, with the thoroughness of a profession that gets fined for skipping steps. If your deposit has built up in an overseas account, or a relative abroad is gifting part of it, expect to provide those statements too, often going back further than the lender asks. Our mortgage document translation page covers the full set of paperwork lenders and solicitors ask for.
Not for a visa. UKVI expects a complete translation of each document you submit, so every page carrying your name, a balance, a transaction or the bank's header must be translated in full. Pages with no content of that kind — bank terms and conditions, blank dividers, adverts — can usually be left out by agreement.
It's tempting to translate only the closing balance or only the salary lines. The result reads as a partial translation, and the usual outcome is a request for the full version, which costs more time than it saved. Caseworkers look at the descriptions as much as the amounts: a large deposit with an untranslated memo invites the question of where the money came from.
What you can trim is genuinely empty paper. Many banks append a page of standard terms or a marketing insert to every statement, and no caseworker in history has needed the credit card advert. Tell us when you order and we'll exclude those pages from the count, while still translating everything a caseworker or underwriter will read. The same completeness rule applies outside the UK: see bank statement translation for USCIS if you're also sponsoring someone for a US green card.
Bank statement translation costs from £15.59 per page of the original statement. The total depends on how many pages your bank produces for the period — a quiet account may run to one or two pages a month, a busy one to ten or more.
There's no surcharge for language, script or transaction density: every page is charged at the same rate. A six-month spouse-visa run from a quiet account at two pages a month is 12 pages, or £187.08 in total. A digitally active account with daily card and mobile payments can be several times that, simply because the bank prints more pages, and banks are not known for economical layouts.
The statement of accuracy, translator details and PDF delivery are included. If a deadline is closing in, same-day rush is available at £29.99 per page. For a large bundle, message us on WhatsApp with the page count first and we'll confirm the timing before you pay.
Every line translated and certified — from £15.59 per page, delivered within 24 hours.
Check the transaction descriptions, not just the column headings. If any description, memo or footer text is in another language or script, the statement counts as a foreign-language document and needs a certified translation. English headings alone don't make it an English statement.
Translate every statement inside the period your route requires: typically six months (Category A) or twelve months (Category B) for a spouse visa, 28 consecutive days for student maintenance, and whatever period your lender or broker specifies for a mortgage.
No. The translation keeps the original currency exactly as printed. UKVI and lenders apply their own exchange rates, so a conversion of ours would only produce figures that disagree with theirs, and nobody wants a second opinion on the exchange rate.
Yes. PDF downloads, app exports, scans and clear phone photos all work. If your bank has stamped the printout or issued a covering letter to verify it, send that too so it can be translated as part of the same order.
Not for UKVI: a certified translation with a signed statement of accuracy is what the Home Office asks for. A small number of lenders or overseas authorities ask for notarisation; if yours does, we also offer notarised translation.
We translate them exactly as issued, with both names where it's a joint account. For student visas using a parent's funds you'll also need their consent letter and proof of relationship, both of which we can translate in the same order.
Typical bundles are delivered within 24 business hours. Very long runs from busy accounts can take longer, and we'll confirm the delivery time when you order. Same-day rush is available if you're up against a deadline.
Usually, yes. The certified translation is the same document whoever reads it. Just check the period: a lender may want more recent statements than the ones you submitted with your visa application.
