Certified translation for personal and official documents
Moving between Hungary and the UK almost always means paperwork: birth and marriage certificates for visa or settlement applications, academic transcripts for university admissions or professional registration, and official correspondence for banks, employers or government departments. I provide certified translations accompanied by a statement of accuracy, and where your recipient requires notarised or agency-certified documentation, certification is arranged through a partner accredited translation agency or public notary — so the finished document carries the exact stamp and format UK institutions expect.
What I translate between English and Hungarian
- Technical documentation — user manuals, engineering specifications, product datasheets, technical reports and manufacturing documentation, translated with an MSc in Mechanical Engineering background
- Official personal documents — birth, marriage and death certificates, academic diplomas and transcripts, driving licences and ID documents
- Immigration and visa support documents — supporting evidence, bank statements, employment letters and official correspondence for UK Visas and Immigration submissions
- Legal and court documents — contracts, powers of attorney, witness statements and civil litigation paperwork
- Business documents — commercial contracts, terms and conditions, and corporate paperwork for companies trading between Hungary and the UK
Technical translation between English and Hungarian
Alongside certified personal and legal documents, I translate technical material for engineering, manufacturing and industrial clients working between the UK and Hungary — user manuals, product specifications, safety datasheets and technical reports. My Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering means terminology, units and technical meaning carry through accurately, rather than being translated as generic text.
Why work with a native Hungarian speaker based in the UK
Being based in London means I understand exactly what UK solicitors, universities, employers and government departments expect from a certified translation — while remaining fully fluent in the legal and administrative Hungarian used in official documents. That combination avoids the back-and-forth that can happen when a document is translated correctly but not formatted the way the receiving institution needs.

Frequently asked questions
Can you provide a certified translation of a Hungarian birth or marriage certificate?
Yes. I translate Hungarian birth certificates, marriage certificates, academic transcripts and other official documents, each accompanied by a statement of accuracy. Where your recipient requires a notarised or agency-certified translation, this is arranged through a partner accredited translation agency or public notary, formatted for acceptance by UK institutions.
Do you provide technical translation between English and Hungarian?
Yes. Alongside certified personal and legal documents, I translate technical material such as user manuals, product specifications, safety datasheets and technical reports, drawing on a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering to keep technical terminology and meaning accurate in both directions.
Do you translate documents for UK visa or immigration applications from Hungarian?
Yes. I regularly translate supporting documents for visa, settlement and immigration applications, including certificates, bank statements and official correspondence, with the certification statement UK Visas and Immigration typically requires.
How long does an English-Hungarian document translation take?
Most single certificates or short documents are turned around within 1-2 working days. Longer contracts or technical documents typically take 3-5 working days depending on length and complexity — I'll confirm an exact timeline with your quote.
Do you translate Hungarian business and legal contracts into English?
Yes. I translate commercial contracts, terms and conditions, court documents and corporate paperwork for companies operating between Hungary and the UK, keeping legal terminology precise in both languages.
Is my certified translation notarised or verified by an accredited agency?
Every certified translation includes my signed statement of accuracy. When a UK institution specifically requires notarisation or an accredited agency stamp, I arrange this through a partner accredited translation agency or public notary, so the document meets the exact certification format requested.
Will my translated Hungarian documents be accepted by UK authorities?
Certified translations I provide include a statement of accuracy and my translator credentials, and where the recipient requires notarisation or an accredited agency stamp, this is arranged through a partner accredited translation agency or public notary — in the format most commonly required by UK government departments, universities and legal bodies. If your specific recipient has a particular format requirement, let me know and I'll match it.
