I work as a freelance translator/proofreader under the name C.O.L. Translations. I am certified by the ITI in 5 language pairs: Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Africa), Spanish (Spain), and Spanish (Latin American) to English. I have qualified for ISO 17100 certification. I am registered as a professional translator with the UK's Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office. I have extensive experience translating personal and company documents for private clients and translation agencies from all over the world. I can help you with certified translations for the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, the USA and Portugal amongst others.

My specialities are Birth Certificates, Marriage Certificates, Civil Partnership Certificates, Divorce Certificates, Death Certificates, Criminal Record Checks, University Degree Certificates, Academic Transcripts, Secondary School Certificates, Secondary School Transcripts, Bank Statements, Identity Cards, Driving Licences, Company Registration Certificates, Income Tax Returns, Social Security Statements, Sworn Statements, Political Asylum Applications, Authorisations for children to travel, Medical Records, Vaccination Certificates, Visa Support Declarations, Court Documents, Court Decisions, and Contracts amongst others.

The majority of my clients contact me for help with Applying for Visas (UK Visas and Immigration - UKVI), Applying for Passports (HM Passport Office - HMPO), Validating Academic Certificates to continue studying (UK ENIC or UK universities) or to practice their profession in another country (i.e. General Medical Council - GMC). I have never had a translation rejected by the UK authorities.

I provide digital translations (PDF) and/or physical translations (printed). My digital translations include digital signatures, ITI seals and translator stamps which can all be verified electronically as they include Advanced Electronic Signatures (AES). These digital translations are not a simple scan of the paper translation, they are a different version so that they can be verified electronically by the receiving authority. My physical translations include ink signatures and stamps, an embossed seal, and the official ITI adhesive seal. Physical translations are sent by registered mail and I will provide you with the tracking number, or you can collect your translation in person. Both digital and physcial translations include a one-page Translator's Declaration.

Contact me by email at [email protected] or by WhatsApp on +351 925 106 403 or +55 11 99576 9464 for a quote and I will respond quickly. You can write to me in English, Spanish or Portuguese. Normally, I can do your translation based on a digital copy (scan or photo) of your document, you don’t need to send me the original by post. I can normally deliver your translation the same day or within 24 hours of you approving the price, for longer documents it may take a few days, but I will keep you informed.

You can pay me in pounds, euros, reais or US dollars and I accept bank transfer, Wise, Revolut, BIZUM, MBWAY or PIX amongst others.

Please get in touch and it will be my pleasure to help you!
