Official Greek and English translations, done right the first time.
Whether you're planning your Greek wedding, buying a property or moving country, I translate anything that needs to go to a British or Greek authority as an official translation — from English into Greek and from Greek into English.
Whichever way your documents need to go
Skip the Consulate legalisation step
I'm both an Ionian University translation graduate and a translator approved by the Greek Consulate in London, so I can certify your translation in whichever capacity the Greek authority asks for.
Unlike translations by translators who aren't Ionian University graduates, mine are accepted in Greece without being taken to the Consulate for legalisation — saving you a trip, extra fees and waiting time.

Scan or take a high-quality photo of your document and its reverse side showing the apostille (English documents need one first).

I'll send you a confirmed quote. If you decide to go ahead, you can pay quickly and securely by Revolut or Wise.
Document translation
Translation typically takes 2–4 days (3–5 days for wedding paperwork). Urgent? Tell me your deadline and I'll try to accommodate it.
Delivery

I'm Elina Lagoudaki
A certified Greek translator, adopted Londoner and all-round people person. There is nothing I love more than helping people with my laser-like attention to detail, making sure you have all the translated documents you need.
I'm from Greece originally and have been translating professionally since 2005. I studied translation at the Ionian University in Corfu and furthered my training at Imperial College London, with a PhD in Translation Technology.
My official translations are recognised by the Greek Embassy and the Consulates in London and Birmingham — so I'm a safe pair of hands for your documents.
