YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Translation in Jersey: useful information
Are you based in Jersey?
Yes. Logical Translation has a presence in Jersey and the UK. We handle translation orders remotely. We offer digital delivery, postal copies and local hand delivery by arrangement, rather than a walk-in service.
Can I order a certified translation for use in the UK?
Yes. We provide certified translations for use in Jersey, the Channel Islands and the UK. Please include the instructions from the organisation requesting your documents so the required certification and format can be confirmed.
Do I need a sworn translation for an EU application?
That depends on the country and the organisation requesting the documents. Share their instructions with us. We can advise on the appropriate translation for your application.
Do I need an apostille for a certified translation used in Jersey?
An apostille is not normally required for a certified translation used in Jersey unless the organisation requesting your documents specifically asks for one. An apostille is an important requirement for many official document submissions in the European Union. Confirm the requirements with the organisation requesting your documents before arranging translation. Apostille / Legalisation is a separate process from translation certification. If an apostille has been requested, send us the instructions so we can clarify the appropriate process.
Where do I obtain an apostille if one is required?
Jersey-issued documents: apply locally through the Government of Jersey Passport Office (Legalisation Office). Documents issued in England or elsewhere in the UK: use the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) Legalisation Office. The route depends on where the document was issued, not where you live. Check any preparation requirements before applying.
How much will my translation cost?
Your quote depends on the languages, document length, formatting, certification and delivery requirements. Send clear copies so we can provide an accurate quotation.
Can you meet an urgent deadline?
Tell us the date you need the completed translation and whether a paper copy is required. We will confirm the available timescale before accepting the order.
