About School Enrolment Translations

When you enrol a child in a UK state or independent school, the local authority admissions team and the school require proof of identity, age, immunisation history, and prior schooling. If any of those documents are in a language other than English, the school will ask for a certified English translation.

We translate foreign birth certificates, vaccination cards, school reports, parents' qualifications and proof of guardianship, and any supporting EAL (English as an Additional Language) or SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) documentation. Our translations are accepted by every local authority admissions team and academy trust in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

School Enrolment – Frequently Asked Questions
Which schools require translations from abroad?+
All schools and local authority admissions teams that handle in-year admissions require certified English translations of foreign documents. This includes state primary and secondary schools, Multi-Academy Trusts, faith schools, grammar schools, free schools, and independent (private) schools.
Do you translate vaccination cards from any country?+
Yes. We translate immunisation records from anywhere in the world, including World Health Organization yellow cards, country-specific national immunisation passports, and digital QR-coded vaccination certificates.
Will the translation help my child's EAL or SEND assessment?+
Yes. Local authority EAL coordinators and SENCOs use the translated reports and medical records to plan support, set targets, and access pupil premium funding. Translating prior assessments speeds up your child's induction.
How fast can you turn around a school-enrolment translation?+
Standard turnaround is two business days. Same-day rush service is often available on short documents like birth certificates and vaccination cards, which is useful for late in-year admissions.
