Certificate of Good Standing Translation
A certificate of good standing is issued by a professional regulator, not by a court or a police force. It confirms that the practitioner is currently on the register and that no disciplinary proceedings are outstanding, and UK regulators ask for a translated copy when the original comes from an overseas body. The attestation wording, the registration number and the issue date all have to survive translation intact.
What the Translation Covers
-
Registrant Details: Name, registration or licence number, and the profession or scope of practice stated.
-
The Attestation: The exact wording confirming current registration and that no disciplinary proceedings are outstanding.
-
Issue Date and Signature: The date of issue, any validity period, the registrar's signature and the regulator's seal.
-
Certification Page: the translator's name, credentials, date and a signed statement of accuracy for certificates of good standing.
Before You Order
The wording of the attestation matters more than the letterhead, so it is translated closely rather than paraphrased.
-
Not a Police Document: A certificate of good standing comes from a regulator; a certificate of good conduct comes from the police.
-
Which Regulator: Medical, nursing, dental, legal, accountancy and engineering bodies each word the certificate differently.
-
Validity Window: Many regulators issue these for three months only, so check the deadline before you order.
If your regulator issues the certificate through an online portal, a PDF export is fine.

Frequently asked questions
DHCTranslations translates certificates of good standing from overseas medical, nursing, dental, legal and accountancy regulators into certified English for UK registration. Each order returns with a signed certification page, usually the next working day.
These certificates are priced from £40 per document. Anything past 400 words is charged from £0.09 per word, and notarisation is quoted separately where it is required.
A single-page certificate can be completed the same day when the order and cleared payment are confirmed before 4pm on a working day. Registration deadlines with the GMC, NMC or another regulator can be tight, so give us the date when you ask for a quote.
Yes. The GMC, NMC, GDC, GPhC, HCPC and the legal regulators each publish their own evidence requirements, including how recent the certificate must be. We supply the certified translation; acceptance is their decision. Check the current guidance for the regulator you are applying to.
It is a letter from a professional regulator confirming that a practitioner is currently registered or licensed, and that no disciplinary or fitness-to-practise proceedings are outstanding against them.
No. A certificate of good conduct or police clearance comes from a police force and deals with criminal records. A certificate of good standing comes from a professional regulator and deals with registration and discipline. They are separate documents and are often requested together.
The registrant's name and registration number, the profession or scope of practice, the exact attestation wording, the date of issue, any stated validity period, and the registrar's signature and seal.
Yes, usually. Many regulators issue them with a short validity, often three months, and some state the window on the certificate itself. The translation records the issue date as the document shows it; how long it is accepted for is set by the receiving body.
No. A scan or photograph of the certificate, including the seal and signature, is enough. Keep the paper original and we will send the certified English version as a PDF.
Yes, if the receiving regulator asks. The English version goes to the notary before the FCDO sees it, and the apostille is attached to the notarised copy. The FCDO legalises UK documents or those certified by a UK notary, so an overseas certificate is usually legalised in the country of issue.
