Hot to Get Documents Translated for UK Visa From Pakistan

Applying for a UK visa from Pakistan requires several official documents to be translated into English before submission to the British High Commission Islamabad or VFS Global Pakistan. In this guide, we explain exactly which documents need certified translation, the requirements for UK visa applications, and how to get your documents translated quickly and correctly.

Which Documents Need Translation for UK Visa from Pakistan?

If your documents are in Urdu or any other regional language, the British High Commission requires certified English translations of the following documents:

- Birth certificate (NADRA or Union Council)
- Marriage certificate or Nikah Nama
- CNIC and NADRA Family Registration Certificate
- Police clearance certificate (FIA PCC)
- Bank statements (if originally in Urdu)
- Employment letters and salary certificates
- Property documents (for visit visa financial proof)
- Educational certificates and transcripts

What Makes a Translation “Certified” for UK Visa Purposes?

The UK Home Office and UKVI require translations to include:

1. A signed statement from the translator confirming the translation is a true and accurate translation of the original document
2. The translator's full name, signature, and contact details
3. The date of translation
4. Confirmation of the translator's qualifications or competence in the language

At Transverge Translation Services, every certified translation includes all of these requirements as standard, with no extra charge.
