Certified translations in Exeter
Exeter runs on the university, the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, the Met Office headquarters and a professional-services base that serves the wider South West peninsula. Filings for Exeter Law Courts are prepared with a Statement of Truth, which is the form of certification an Exeter court office normally asks to see.
Polish and Romanian records are the largest groups, with Chinese, Spanish and Arabic documents following and French, Italian and Malayalam certificates in student and healthcare files. Census 2021 records 7.8% of Exeter residents with a main language other than English, and the ten languages listed above are the ones that actually arrive with documents from Exeter postcodes.
Registration paperwork for the GMC, NMC and HCPC arrives alongside degree transcripts for the University of Exeter, and every Exeter order is handled by secure upload from Exmouth, Crediton or the rest of Devon.
The rest of a typical Exeter order is correspondence with Exeter City Council, court paperwork for Exeter Law Courts and Home Office identity documents, all certified to the same standard with the translator's signature.
