Spanish, Polish and Italian records are the largest groups, with Chinese, Portuguese and Romanian documents following and German, French and Greek certificates in research and clinical appointments. Census 2021 records 20% of Cambridge residents with a main language other than English, and the ten languages listed above are the ones that actually arrive with documents from Cambridge postcodes.
Registration paperwork for the GMC, NMC and HCPC arrives alongside degree transcripts for the University of Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin University, and every Cambridge order is handled by secure upload from Chesterton, Cherry Hinton or the rest of Cambridgeshire.
