Completed by qualified Igbo translators
Getting married? Studying abroad? Do you have legal documents you must have translated? Some authorities demand that you supply certified translations of your official documents. This means that even if you are bilingual, the relevant authority is unlikely to accept your own translation. They will be looking for a translation independently carried out and by an appropriately qualified Igbo linguist.
We offer 3 main types of certification in Hertfordshire
It is important that you check with the appropriate authority which type of certification they will accept.
Digital certification
The first type of certification comes in the form of a letter printed on Knockhundredโs letterhead certifying that, as a professional translation company, Knockhundred has undertaken the translation. Each page of the translation itself is also stamped. This type of certification is generally supplied in digital format. By special arrangement, we can also provide the certification in hard copy format by post.
Notarised, sworn or legalised translation
The second type of certification is where the translation is stamped and signed by a Notary Public. A notarised translation is also sometimes referred to as a “sworn” translation, but this phrase isnโt often used in the UK. It can also be called a legalised translation.
A Notary Public is an officer of the law empowered to attest or confirm certain oaths, statutory declarations and documents under his seal.
Working from your documents, our qualified linguists will provide an accurate translation, carefully checking the details. Once certified by us, a Notary Public will add the official seal.
You do not need to be located near our offices as the entire process is conducted digitally and by post.
British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) legalisation of translated documents
Some authorities insist on this extra step. Once notarised by a Notary Public and confirmed as true translations, the translations and any associated original documents are further verified and stamped by the FCO.

How is the cost for certified Igbo translations calculated?

- The cost depends on the level of certification: digital, notarisation or FCO legalisation.
While youโre here… some quite interesting facts about the Igbo language.
Igbo is a member of the Volta-Niger branch of the Niger-Congo family of languages, and is spoken mainly in Nigeria. In 2018 there were about 29 million speakers of Igbo in Nigeria, mainly in the southweast of the country, particularly in the states of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo. There are also Igbo speakers in Australia (2,000), Canada (4,240), and the UK (7,950). There are numerous Igbo dialects, some of which are not mutually intelligible. The standard written form of Igbo is based on the Owerri and Umuahia dialects. Igbo is also known as Ibo, Ebo or Unege. Igbo is recognised as a minority language in Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea. It is used in literature, and on the radio and TV. Courtesy of Omniglot
Where is Igbo most widely spoken?
Most Igbo speakers are based in southeast Nigeria, where they make up almost 17% of the population; they can also be found in significant numbers in Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea.Get in touch with one of our lovely project managers and they would be very happy to discuss all the available options with you.
