Filings for Oxford Combined Court Centre are prepared with a Statement of Truth, which is the form of certification an Oxford court office normally asks to see.
Portuguese and Spanish records are the largest groups, with Polish, Chinese and Romanian documents following and Italian, Arabic, German and French certificates in academic and research appointments. Census 2021 records 18.1% of Oxford residents with a main language other than English, and the ten languages listed above are the ones that actually arrive with documents from Oxford postcodes.
Registration paperwork for the GMC, NMC and HCPC arrives alongside degree transcripts for the University of Oxford and Oxford Brookes University, and every Oxford order is handled by secure upload from Cowley, Headington or the rest of Oxfordshire.
The rest of a typical Oxford order is correspondence with Oxford City Council, court paperwork for Oxford Combined Court Centre and Home Office identity documents, all certified to the same standard with the translator's signature.

An Oxford document is uploaded through the secure portal and returned as a certified PDF, with same-day completion available when the order and payment are confirmed before 4pm on a working day.

Oxford orders with payment confirmed before 4pm on a working day can be completed the same day for most language pairs. Bundles that need more time are given a firm date in the Oxford quote, and weekend or bank holiday orders roll to the next working day.
