Hi everyone,
I have done a bit of resource on this topic, but I have not found a coherent answer.
I hold a MA in Translation studies, therefore I am a qualified translator when it comes to certify my own translations for the UK.

Thank you so much in advance. ▲ Collapse

I suggest you contact the Home Office or, if there is a national translators' organisation in the UK, contact their office.

Normally, a translation can be sworn for free at a court or for a huge cost at a notarius. In both cases, you must pay a stamp fee (at present 16 euro for each set of 4 pages and fractions thereof).
There are no official translators lists, but each court has its requirement, so ideally everybody can swear, if the court accepts it. Though, most courts require now that you are enrolled by them.

To sum up: ask the receiving institution what it exactly wants!
