Death certificates · Tajik · Uzbek · Russian
Certified death certificate translation.
We translate death certificates issued in Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Russia and the other former Soviet republics into English and certify the translation for use in the UK. If a solicitor, a probate registry, a bank or a registrar has asked you for a certified translation, this is what they mean: the full text, stamps and handwritten entries included, with a signed, dated Certificate of Accuracy. About £25 for a single-page certificate, within 24 hours of payment.

What gets translated
The whole certificate: printed fields, handwritten entries, the cause of death where it is recorded, registry stamps and seals, and anything on the reverse. Names are spelled the same way as on the other documents in the matter; send those as well and we match them.
When a law firm is dealing with the estate
We can work with the firm directly: itemised invoice addressed to the firm, 14-day terms, and a Data Processing Agreement where the firm requires one.
How to order
Photograph the document on your phone — the whole page in frame, text readable, and the back if anything is written there — and send it to us on WhatsApp. There is nothing to install and no form to fill in.
We reply with the page count, a fixed price and a completion time. Nothing is payable until you accept the price in writing.
What “certified” means in the UK
England and Wales have no sworn translators. A certified translation is one that carries a written confirmation that it is a true and accurate translation of the original, with the date, a name, a signature and contact details, so that the body receiving it can check who stands behind it.
Ours comes as a Certificate of Accuracy on company letterhead. It names the translator who did the work and is signed and dated by the director of MENDEE LTD, an ITI Affiliate. Notarisation and apostille are separate steps carried out by a notary and by the FCDO; we translate and certify, we are not notaries.
Questions
How much does a death certificate translation cost?
About £25 for a single-page certificate. You receive a fixed price in writing before any work begins, and nothing is payable until you accept it.
How quickly can it be done?
Within 24 hours of payment for Tajik, Uzbek and Russian certificates. If there is a closer deadline, tell us and we will say honestly whether it is achievable.
Can you invoice the solicitor instead of me?
Yes. Law firms are invoiced per document, addressed to the firm, on 14-day terms.
Do you need the original document?
No. A clear photo of the whole page, and of the back if anything is written there, is enough for the translation. Whether the body you are applying to wants to see your original is for them to say.
Do you translate Kazakh, Kyrgyz or Ukrainian documents?
On request. Tajik, Uzbek and Russian are translated by our own staff. Kazakh, Kyrgyz and Ukrainian go to a vetted linguist engaged for the job: we tell you before quoting, the price and time are confirmed per job, and no document is passed on without your agreement.
