Certified translation of an Affidavit from Edinburgh
A sworn statement is often a page or two of plain prose, and on its own it goes across quickly. Then you turn it over. Behind it sit the exhibits it refers to — a certificate, a letter, a bank sheet, a printed record — and those are the pages that decide how big this job really is.
Translator credential and what to settle first
Two things need settling before anything is typed: which copy is the signed one, and which exhibits travel with it. A certified translation of an Affidavit in the United Kingdom is done by an ITI or CIOL-qualified certified translator, and no court appointment comes into it. The credential question takes a second. The exhibit question is the one worth a proper look.
Cost and turnaround
The rate is £25 a page and the full total is quoted before typing starts. Standard turnaround is 2–3 business days from a legible scan, and the express route closes the same job in 24 hours. Adding an exhibit later does not reset either clock, but it does add sheets, so deciding once at the start is cheaper.
Common uses of a translated statement
Statements of this kind turn up in family matters, in claims about property, and wherever somebody has to put on record what they know to be true. In all of them the exhibits are the evidence and the statement is the frame around it. Send the frame without the evidence and a reader abroad holds a description of papers nobody there can read.
Acceptance notes
Keep the set in the order it was signed in: the statement first, then each exhibit behind its own label. A reader follows those labels rather than whatever page order suits you. Where one exhibit was left out on purpose, put that in your covering note, so its absence reads as a decision and not as something you missed.
