I need an "official" or "certified" translation, can ITI help me?

faq
For most purposes, this usually requires either using the services of a sworn translator (this would be a translator sworn before a court in a non-UK jurisdiction), or a Fellow (FITI) or Member (MITI) of ITI who may self-certify the translation.

ITI publishes a set of guidelines and seals for self-certification by its members.
