Types of documents and details
Statements and Legal Evidence We Can Translate
A witness statement is a record of what a person says and often contains legally important assertions. Accuracy, dates, identities and paragraph references matter. This service is for translation of supplied written evidence, not the drafting of witness testimony or deciding its legal merits.
Family and Property Statements
Statements concerning family disputes, housing, property or other personal matters where foreign-language evidence is relevant.
Immigration Witness Evidence
Statements and personal narratives used in immigration or appeal files where a legal adviser requests translation.
Tribunal Statements
Written witness accounts and related declarations for suitable tribunal or disciplinary proceedings.
Statements With Exhibits
Paragraphs referring to identified attachments, messages, letters and other exhibits that need consistent references.
Supporting Declarations
Related signed personal declarations and statement-of-truth text where the receiving authority specifies the required format.
Who the service is for
Witness Statement Translation for Solicitors and Legal Teams
A witness statement can contain disputed or sensitive facts. Translation should preserve the source person’s meaning, voice, chronology and any uncertainty, without altering assertions or making them more persuasive. Solicitors and courts may impose specific requirements for translations, declarations and evidence handling. We do not provide legal advice, prepare testimony or determine whether the account is credible.

Choose the right route
Translation Does Not Mean Rewriting Witness Evidence
It is important to distinguish translating a statement from drafting, editing or correcting what a witness says. A professional translator must faithfully convey the supplied wording, even where the original is inconsistent or unclear. Questions about evidential admissibility, court declarations or whether a witness must sign again should be put to the relevant solicitor or court. A translated witness statement may need a separate certification statement depending on the applicable rules.
Acceptance and validity: The receiving organisation decides which original documents, translator authorisations and certification formats it will accept. Translation does not independently validate the original document or establish a legal or financial fact.
Prices and delivery
Witness Statement Translation Cost and Delivery
The price depends on languages, word count, handwritten passages, source formatting, referenced exhibits, certification and required turnaround. A concise signed statement differs from a long account with numerous attachments. Include the total document pack and exact filing deadline so the quote covers all necessary material.
Length and Legibility
Statements with handwritten notes or lengthy narratives can require additional review.
Evidence Structure
Paragraph numbers, references, labels, dates and relevant exhibits must be handled consistently.
Legal Format and Deadline
Confirm the applicable court or solicitor’s certification requirements and the filing schedule.

Confirm official document and certification rules with the receiving organisation before placing an order.
Can you translate a witness statement into English?
Yes. Submit the full written statement and the relevant recipient instructions for review and quotation.
Will the statement remain in the witness’s own words?
The translated text should faithfully convey the original, rather than rewrite testimony or improve factual claims.
Can you keep paragraph numbers and exhibit references?
Provide the source file and any required formatting. These details can be included in the agreed layout and checked for consistency.
Will a certified translation automatically be accepted in court?
No. Acceptance is determined by the particular court and its applicable evidence and translator-certification rules.
Can I submit related messages and attachments for translation?
Yes, include the full document inventory and tell us which exhibits are required. These may be scoped as separate translation items.
Can you create or correct a witness statement for me?
This service translates an existing source. Drafting, correcting facts or taking legal instructions belongs to the relevant legal professionals.
