A boutique translation agency built on accuracy, accountability and documents that get accepted.

Our story

Meridian Certified Translations was founded 17 years ago with a narrow, deliberate focus: certified document translation that official bodies would accept without question. We started by helping individuals through immigration and academic applications, and as word spread we grew into the legal, corporate and apostille work we are known for today. We have stayed a specialist agency rather than a generalist language vendor, because the documents our clients bring us are the ones that decide cases, careers and futures.

Over that time our team has delivered more than 90,000+ translated documents across 120+ languages, for clients ranging from families filing their first visa petition to law firms managing cross-border litigation. The constant has been our standard: every translation completed by a qualified human linguist and checked by a second before it leaves us.

Standards and certifications

Our certified translations meet the requirements of the authorities our clients submit to, USCIS in the United States and UK Visas and Immigration in the United Kingdom among them, and carry a signed certificate of accuracy on every order. We work to professional translation quality practices, including independent revision by a second linguist, and our translators hold recognised qualifications and accreditations in their language pairs and fields. Where a document calls for a notarized or sworn translation or an apostille, we manage that authentication directly so the chain stays intact.

Our team

Behind every project is a network of professional translators, revisers and project managers. Our linguists translate into their native language and specialise by field, legal, civil, medical, academic and commercial, so your document is handled by someone who understands both the language and the subject. Project managers coordinate larger matters, build glossaries for consistency, and keep you informed from quote to delivery. Client information is treated as confidential at every stage, and we sign non-disclosure agreements on request.

What we believe

Good translation is invisible: the reader simply trusts the document. That is the bar we hold ourselves to. We would rather quote an honest timeline than overpromise, rather flag a question about a source document than guess, and rather build a long relationship than win a single job.
