Icelandic translator

Yes. Ecrivus is an Icelandic translation agency for both certified and standard translation. For official documents — for UKVI, the Home Office, courts or universities — we provide certified translation: a signed and dated statement of accuracy, escalated to notarisation by a solicitor or notary public, or to an apostille or legalisation through the FCDO, where the receiving body requires it. For business documents we deliver standard professional Icelandic translation.

The UK has no sworn-translator institute, so there is no "sworn translator" as a legal office here. For official acceptance we provide certified translation: a signed statement of accuracy from the translator or the agency, with our contact details. Where a body asks for more, this can be escalated to notarisation by a solicitor or notary public, or to an apostille or legalisation through the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). We confirm in the quote which level your receiving authority requires.

The most common are personal documents (birth, marriage and death certificates, diplomas and transcripts, company extracts) for Home Office, UKVI and university procedures, and trade and export documentation for the fisheries, aquaculture and energy sectors. We confirm the approach and any certification per document in the quote.

A native Icelandic translator handles the four cases, the three genders and the strong and weak declensions. We deliver in correct UTF-8 so that the special letters þ, ð, æ and ö survive intact, and we transcribe patronymic names (-son / -dóttir) carefully for UK authorities that expect a surname.

On working days you receive a quote within 1 hour. The lead time for the translation itself depends on document type, volume, language pair and any required certification, and is confirmed in the quote. For tight deadlines we confirm a workable rush schedule up front rather than promising a fixed turnaround.

An Icelandic translation agency takes the coordination off your hands. We select the native specialist who fits your document and sector, arrange certification, notarisation or legalisation where an authority requires it, and have the work checked on case inflection, terminology and character encoding. You keep one point of contact for terminology, scheduling and delivery, all under a single quote. A skilled freelance translator does excellent work too; the difference an agency adds is bringing those moving parts together so you are not managing them separately.
