Certified translations in Dundee
Dundee rebuilt around life sciences, medical research, computer games and design, with two universities and a teaching hospital, so academic and clinical documents dominate the city's translation work. Filings for Dundee Sheriff Court are prepared with a certified translation statement, which is the form of certification a Dundee court office normally asks to see.
Dundee files are mostly academic and clinical: degree certificates and transcripts, professional registration evidence, and the family records that accompany a settlement or citizenship application. Scotland's Census 2022 records 5.2% of residents aged three and over with a main language other than English across Scotland, and the languages listed above are the ones that most often arrive with documents from Dundee postcodes.
Registration paperwork for the GMC, NMC and HCPC arrives alongside degree transcripts for the University of Dundee, and every Dundee order is handled by secure upload from Broughty Ferry, Monifieth or the rest of Dundee City.
The rest of a typical Dundee order is correspondence with Dundee City Council, court paperwork for Dundee Sheriff Court and Home Office identity documents, all certified to the same standard with the translator's signature.

What our clients say
Rated 4.9/5 from 314 verified reviews for Home Office applications, court-ready Statements of Truth and UK ENIC submissions.
“The certificate had my house name first and my father's initial, and the note explaining how that maps to a UK surname field stopped the form being queried.”
Lakshmi P.
“The district certificate was handwritten and partly faded, and the translator described the stamp in a note so the caseworker could see why the scan looked poor.”
Amina H.
“The marriage contract was translated with the dower and witnesses intact, which was exactly what the spouse visa required.”
Shilan D.
