oscar22, I totally disagree. That would be a very expensive route to follow, and totally unnecessary. There is absolutely no need to use a Notary Public.
Effectively UKBA in the UK accept any translation bearing a "Certified Translation" stamp. The important aspect is that the applicant supplies the original foreign language certificate and the certified translation into English. In other words give UKBA the ability to check the translation if they so wish.
Over the years my wife has done many translations of Thai certificates into English. And yes she has her "Certified Translation" stamp. Her customers have never encountered a problem with UKBA, nor indeed with any other UK body, such as the Child Benefit office.
