Frequently asked questions
DHCTranslations provides certified translations for General Medical Council applications, including medical degrees, transcripts and registration documents. GMC paperwork is translated by a qualified human translator and returned with a signed certification page, with same-day completion available when the order and cleared payment are confirmed before 4pm on a working day.
Primary medical qualifications, academic transcripts, internship certificates, specialist qualifications and good standing certificates must be translated if they are not in English, including the award title, institution and dates.
No. The GMC requires an independent translation with the translator credentials and a signed statement of accuracy. Self-translations, or translations by colleagues and family members, are not accepted.
No. Clear scans or photographs of every page, including seals and reverse sides, are sufficient. Originals remain with you, and the certified translation is returned as a PDF for the GMC application.
Yes. Translations include the translator name, credentials, date and a signed statement of accuracy, which is the format the GMC and EPIC ask for in primary source verification.
Certified medical translations start at £40 per document, with longer transcripts priced from £0.09 per word after 400 words. Notarisation on GMC applications files, if required, is quoted separately because it depends on the document and notary availability.
Most medical degrees and transcripts can be completed the same day when the order and cleared payment are confirmed before 4pm on a working day, and a same-day service is available when a GMC deadline is close. A PLAB or primary-qualification bundle is given its own delivery date before payment.
Certification confirms the translation is accurate and identifies the translator. Notarisation adds a notary witness to that signature. The GMC normally accepts certification, and notarisation is only needed if another authority requests it.
Yes. The award title, institution, grading, seals and signatures are translated and set out in the same order, so the GMC can compare the translation with the original certificate.
Yes. Translations are also prepared for the GDC, GPhC, NMC and HCPC, using the same certification format, with regulator-specific documents handled by translators familiar with clinical terminology.
No. The GMC does not approve providers; it assesses the evidence you submit, so the translation has to render your qualification and registration documents completely and accurately rather than carry any endorsement. Our certificates name the translator, the language pair and the date, and if the GMC has asked for particular wording we will work to it.
