Which version are you filing?
Civil records get amended. A name is corrected, a date is put right, a late registration is added. Each of those leaves a trace on the paper, and each produces a version that supersedes the last. Before any English is written, the useful question is not what the record says but which printing of it will actually be handed over.
A correction is part of the record
Where an entry has been struck through and rewritten, both readings belong on the page, positioned as the registrar left them. Initials and a date beside the change show when it was made and on whose authority. A set that quietly presents the final wording alone reads more smoothly and describes a document that does not exist, which is the opposite of the point.
Who signs, and what the signature covers
A certified translator signs and dates a statement that the English matches the sheet in front of them — that sheet, on that day. A sworn English translator in Derby is a phrase inherited from other systems and plays no part here. The narrowness of the claim is what gives it weight: it is small enough for anyone holding both pages to check for themselves.
Rate and days
Pricing is £25 for each side as issued, so the count is a matter of sheets rather than of how much annotation they carry. Standard turnaround is 2–3 business days from a legible image and express lands in 24 hours. The clock starts when the scan arrives, which is why settling the version question first is the part that genuinely saves time.
