Hausa translation services in Birmingham
Document translation is mostly handled by email: your file goes to a Hausa native translator, the translated version comes back to you in the format you need. So even though this page is about Birmingham, location matters less for translation than it does for interpreting: we deliver to clients in Birmingham the same way we deliver to clients anywhere else in the UK. The Birmingham-specific bit is the local context: if your document is for a Birmingham solicitor, a Birmingham hospital or a Birmingham university, we'll handle the formatting and the accompanying paperwork the way those bodies expect.
Certified Hausa translation
For most UK official use in Birmingham (UKVI applications, court proceedings, university admissions, registry office work, Home Office cases), certified Hausa translation is what's required. We provide that as standard: the translated document plus a signed declaration of accuracy on Prism Linguistics letterhead, with the translator's name and our company stamp. Sworn or apostilled formats are available if your receiving body asks for those instead; just tell us at quote stage.
What we translate
How to order a Hausa translation in Birmingham
Send us the document. We'll come back within an hour during UK office hours with a price and a delivery date. A Hausa native translator with the right subject background does the work; a second linguist reviews it; we deliver in the format you asked for. Standard turnaround for a short certificate is normally next working day; longer pieces are quoted with a realistic date.
English to Hausa translator (and the other way round) in Birmingham
We work in both directions. Customer-facing copy (websites, brochures, ads, emails) is adapted rather than translated word for word, so it reads like it was written in Hausa in the first place. Legal, medical and technical documents stay faithful to the source, with formatting matched to the original.
Need a spoken-language interpreter in Birmingham too?

About Birmingham
Birmingham is the UK's second-largest city and the commercial centre of the West Midlands, with some of the most linguistically diverse communities in the country, so demand for translation and interpreting is high across every sector. Prism Linguistics provides professional translation and interpreting in Birmingham for legal firms, healthcare providers, universities, local authorities and businesses. University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, one of the largest teaching trusts in England, runs the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Heartlands, Good Hope and Solihull, where patients regularly need a face-to-face or telephone interpreter for appointments, maternity and mental-health care. Birmingham Crown Court at the Queen Elizabeth II Law Courts hears criminal work, and solicitors instruct us for court-experienced interpreters and certified translations of evidence and identity documents, including Legal Aid Agency matters. The University of Birmingham, Aston University and Birmingham City University bring international students who need certified translations of degree certificates and transcripts for admission and UK ENIC recognition. We handle certified document translation, face-to-face interpreting, and video and telephone interpreting across the city, from the B postcodes in the centre out to Solihull, Sutton Coldfield and West Bromwich. Every job is completed by a qualified native-speaker linguist and reviewed by a second linguist, so a birth certificate for a visa application or an evidence bundle for a hearing reads accurately and meets UK professional and confidentiality standards.

About the Hausa language
Hausa is the main lingua franca of northern Nigeria and much of the Sahel, so Hausa-speaking clients in the UK are usually part of the wider Nigerian community, which the 2021 census put at close to 294,000 people born in Nigeria, with the largest concentrations in London, including boroughs such as Greenwich and Peckham, and in the West Midlands and the North West. Our Hausa translation work is mostly civil documents such as birth, marriage and death certificates for Home Office and UKVI immigration and asylum applications, immigration-tribunal papers, and academic transcripts evaluated by UK ENIC. Counting second-language speakers, Hausa has around 94 million speakers across West Africa.
