Certified translations in Bath
Bath's visitor economy runs on the Roman Baths, the abbey and the Georgian terraces, while two universities, the Royal United Hospitals and a cluster of engineering and publishing firms supply the rest of the city's paperwork. Work heading to Bath Law Courts (Civil, Family and Magistrates) is returned with a signed Statement of Truth, translator credentials and the date of translation, ready for a Bath filing.
Polish and Romanian documents are the largest non-English groups, with Spanish, Italian and Chinese records following and French, Greek and Arabic certificates in family and student files. Census 2021 records 4.9% of Bath and North East Somerset residents with a main language other than English, and the ten languages listed above are the ones that actually arrive with documents from Bath postcodes.
Degree transcripts for the University of Bath and registration files for the GMC, NMC and HCPC are certified for Bath applicants, who upload from Keynsham, Midsomer Norton or Saltford and receive the finished PDF by email.
Away from certificates, Bath clients mostly send Bath and North East Somerset Council correspondence, documents for Bath Law Courts (Civil, Family and Magistrates) and Home Office identity evidence, and every item is certified the same way.
