Work heading to Manchester Crown Court (Crown Square) is returned with a signed Statement of Truth, translator credentials and the date of translation, ready for a Manchester filing.
Urdu and Arabic paperwork is the most frequent non-European material we see, usually alongside Polish and Romanian residence documents, Chinese academic transcripts and Portuguese or Spanish civil-status records.

Away from certificates, Manchester clients mostly send Manchester City Council correspondence, documents for Manchester Crown Court (Crown Square) and Home Office identity evidence, and every item is certified the same way.
