Mandarin Certified, Notarised, FCO Legalized Translation

We provide Mandarin certified, notarised, FCO legalised translations in locations across the UK.

The types of Mandarin certification and notarisation

We are able to offer three types of certified Mandarin translation. It is important that you check with the appropriate authority which type of certification they will accept.

The first type of certification comes in the form of a letter printed on Knockhundred’s letterhead certifying that, as a professional translation company, Knockhundred has undertaken the translation.

The second type of certification is where the translation is stamped and signed by a Notary Public.

The third type of certification is when authorities require some notarised documents to be further certified/legalised by the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO).

Mandarin notarised AND/OR FCO LEGALIZED translation services

Knockhundred offers notarised translation services to our clients based in locations across the UK. This means that, if required, in addition to our own certified translation, we will have our own Notary Public certify or "notarise" the Mandarin translation.

A notarised Mandarin translation is also sometimes referred to as a "sworn" translation. It can also be called a Mandarin legalised translation.

We offer notarised Mandarin translations of...

• birth certificates
• death certificates
• marriage certificates
• divorce certificates and decree absolute
• education certificates
• qualification certificates and other qualification documents
• certificate of no impediment (also referred to as CNI)
• legal statements
• declarations and legal declaration documents
• Notarised translation costs from £155.00 + VAT (if applicable)
• FCO legalisation and translation costs from £225.00 + VAT

Foreign and Commonwealth Office certification (FCO certification)

If you (or the public body to whom you are submitting your notarised documents) requires further certification, we can also arrange for our Notary Public to have the Mandarin documents certified by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. This process is also referred to as FCO certification or legalisation.

Some official bodies require this additional certification and we strongly advise you to find out in advance whether you require this service. In this instance, you are usually able to use the notarised and certified Mandarin documents outside of the UK.

The FCO certified Mandarin translation also contains a translation Apostille - an official FCO stamp confirming that the translation is legal and official.

Turnaround times for certified and notarised Mandarin translation

We can normally translate and certify your documents within a 24 hour period. However, you will need to allow additional time for posting hard copies of the original documents.

Where documents require notarisation, we would normally require 4 business days turnaround time.

Need notarised Mandarin translation services in a hurry?

We also offer a fast-track notarised Mandarin translation service. If you opt for this service, we will arrange for the certified Mandarin translation to be delivered by courier to our Notary Public who will in turn courier the documents back to you. In the case of a single certificate, this would reduce the turnaround time to within 2 business days, sometimes even possible within 24 hours (plus the initial delivery time of the originals from you to Knockhundred Translations). If you require this service, please contact us.

How much does notarised Mandarin translation cost?

For a single document (e.g. a birth certificate, a death certificate, a marriage certificate etc), we charge from £155.00 + VAT (if applicable).

This price includes Mandarin translation costs, Knockhundred's company certification and notarisation by our Notary Public.

We can accept payment in sterling, Euros or US dollars. Payment can be made directly into one of our accounts or via credit/debit card over the phone.

WHILE YOU’RE HERE... SOME QUITE INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE Mandarin LANGUAGE

Accounting for 70% of Chinese speakers, Mandarin is more widely spoken than any other form of Chinese - with some 955 million native speakers globally. That's 14% of the world's total population. In fact, there are more native Mandarin speakers in the world than speakers of any other language. Mandarin is just one of several Chinese dialect groups, which can be kind of confusing. In places like Taiwan and People's Republic of China it's the official language. Mandarin dialects are spoken throughout most of northern and southwestern China. Despite their similarities, some Mandarin dialects are actually not "mutually intelligible". Other varieties of Chinese include Wu, Xiang, Yue, Min, Hakka and Gan. It is written using traditional characters.
