Where PRVD.LDN began
PRVD.LDN grew out of our first professional translation work — for the International Confederation of Midwives' Kyrgyzstan programme in 2022, translating documents and live meetings. That project established the practice; every translation since has followed the same standard.
Who we translate for
Asylum seekers submitting evidence to the Home Office. Solicitors preparing tribunal bundles. NHS trusts requesting patient document translations. Individuals navigating immigration, family law, and higher-education applications. Every translation is certified, stamped, and accepted by the Home Office, UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI), courts, tribunals, and the NHS.
What we translate
- Civil records — birth, marriage, divorce, death certificates
- Identity documents — passports, internal IDs, refugee documents
- Medical records — for NHS referrals, GP registration, disability evidence
- Legal documents — witness statements, court orders, tribunal submissions, appeal bundles
- Academic records — diplomas, transcripts, NARIC/ENIC recognition packs
- Visa and immigration — skilled worker, spouse, ILR, family reunion documents
Languages
PRVD.LDN specialises in six languages that are underserved by general UK translation agencies:
- Russian — most requested across all document types
- Ukrainian — high demand since 2022 (Homes for Ukraine, asylum)
- Tajik — Cyrillic and Latin script, with regional dialect awareness
- Uzbek — Latin and Cyrillic, including official Uzbekistan government documents
- Kazakh — including the ongoing Latin-script transition
- Kyrgyz — Cyrillic script with legal terminology
Human translators, not machine translation
Every document is translated and certified by a qualified human translator. We do not use machine translation for Home Office, tribunal, NHS or university submissions — the Home Office and legal professionals treat machine-translated documents as a red flag, and we take the same view. Turnaround is driven by a focused team working in Central Asian and Eastern European languages, not by automation of the translation itself.
