If your qualification or registration evidence uses a different name, include relevant supporting records or the spelling you need matched.
NMC registration document translation
English translation of non-English documents being prepared for Nursing and Midwifery Council registration. Upload the complete document set and include any current NMC instructions that apply to your route.
Current NMC guidance
The NMC states that certified documents in a language other than English must be accompanied by an official English translation unless an eligible multilingual standard form is supplied.
The NMC also sets specific requirements around the original-language document, certification and the information that must accompany the English translation. Those requirements can vary by application route, so check the current NMC guidance before submission.
Common document routes
The documents you need depend on your application route. Use the dedicated document page where one exists rather than treating every record as the same translation task.
Prepare the document set carefully
Registration evidence can span multiple documents. Consistency across the set matters when the same person, qualification or institution appears more than once.
If your qualification or registration evidence uses a different name, include relevant supporting records or the spelling you need matched.
University, training-provider and regulator names should remain consistent across certificates, transcripts and registration records.
Relevant visible seals, stamps, signatures and notes should be represented where they form part of the document.
Do not add the wrong formality
The NMC distinguishes between certified copies of source documents and English translations. Follow the NMC instructions for both rather than assuming that notarisation, apostille or another service is automatically required.
The NMC publishes rules on how copies of original documents must be certified for its registration process.
The translation should reflect the complete source record and meet the translator-information requirements applicable to the NMC route.
Notarisation or apostille should not be added by default unless your specific document route or another recipient requires it.

Common questions
NMC requirements can change and differ by route, so the regulator's current instructions should always take priority.

Upload the complete record, add the language pair and include any NMC instructions that apply to your registration route. If several related documents need translation, send them together so names and professional details can be checked consistently.
