Frequently Asked Questions About NARIC Translation
Yes โ if any of your academic or supporting documents are not in English, UK ENIC / Ecctis requires a certified translation before it can process your application for a Statement of Comparability or a Visas and Nationality assessment. This is a mandatory requirement, not optional. Submitting untranslated documents will result in your application being returned or delayed.
The cost of a NARIC diploma translation depends on the number of pages, the language pair, and how quickly you need it. Single-page certificates typically cost less than multi-page transcripts. Visit our Pricing & Order page for current rates, or contact us directly for a fixed quote based on your specific documents.
For a single-page certificate or diploma, certified translation is typically completed within 24 to 48 hours of us receiving your documents. Longer documents โ such as full academic transcripts or multi-document packages โ may take 2 to 3 working days. Express and same-day options are available if your timeline is urgent.
A certified translation includes a signed declaration from the translator or translation agency confirming the translation is accurate and complete. A sworn translation is produced by a translator who has taken an official oath before a court or notary, and is required in some countries for certain official submissions. Both types are available through Naric Org. For most UK ENIC and Home Office submissions, a certified translation is what is required.
You cannot translate your own diploma for a NARIC application โ the translation must be produced by a professional, qualified translator. The process with Naric Org is simple: upload a clear scan or photo of your diploma through our secure portal, receive a quote, and we handle the rest. Your certified translated diploma will be delivered to you as a PDF with a signed certification statement, ready to submit.
UK ENIC and Ecctis follow the Home Office's criteria for accepting certified translations. These require the translation to be produced by a professional translator, include a signed statement of accuracy, and carry the translator's or company's full contact details. Our translations are prepared in line with these published criteria. For the official requirements, you can refer to UK ENIC's guidance on qualifications recognition.
Yes. A certified translation produced by Naric Org can be used for multiple purposes โ your UK ENIC statement of comparability application, a university admission, a visa application, and professional body registration โ provided each receiving authority accepts copies. Some bodies require an original certified hard copy; we can arrange this on request.

No. Naric Org is an independent specialist translation and document services provider. We are not UK ENIC, Ecctis, or a government body, and we do not issue Statements of Comparability โ those are issued exclusively by Ecctis on behalf of the UK Government. What we do is prepare the certified translations and supporting documentation that makes your UK ENIC application correct and complete. Learn more about what UK NARIC is now called and how it works.
Yes. In addition to certified translation, we offer notarisation and legalisation (apostille) services for documents that require an additional layer of authentication before submission to certain authorities. If you're not sure whether your documents need these steps, contact us and we'll advise you based on the requirements of the body you're applying to.
