Translation Services

At Prime Apostille we offer a fast, accurate and affordable translation service. We can translate almost any document in any language covering over 200 languages. We understand the sensitivity of documents and the importance of having a true translation. Our translation service is personalised to cater to your every need and your document will be confidentially reviewed by specialist proof-readers. You will be given a Certificate of Certified Translation and, more importantly, the translators we use are members of the ATC (Association of Translation Companies). In order to offer you a quote, we will first need to see your document(s) to assess the number of words, the language it is currently in and the language you require the translation in. We will then get back to you within 24 hours with a quote. To get started click “Get a Free Quote” and follow the instructions.

The Qualifications Office of the Consulate General of Italy in London only issues "Dichiarazioni di Valore" (Declarations of Value, DV) of British qualifications - issued by recognised educational institutions (schools, colleges and universities) or professional bodies - that fall under the British education/university system.

Scotland and Northern Ireland fall within the jurisdiction of the Consulate General in Edinburgh.

The "DV" is neither an equivalent of an Italian qualification nor a comparability certificate. It will be up to the relevant Italian institutions (Ministry of Education, Uffici Scolastici Provinciali, Universities, etc.) to subsequently declare if a foreign qualification has a similar Italian equivalent: this is called "equipollenza" (equivalence/certificate of comparability). Please note that the "Declaration of Value" can only be requested for already-completed study cycles (e.g., A-level, Bachelor, Master, etc.).

If you wish for Prime Apostille to obtain a Declaration of Value on your behalf, please CLICK HERE.
