What Is a Statement of Truth in UK Law?

In the UK legal system, a Statement of Truth is a formal declaration that verifies the accuracy and honesty of the information contained in a document. It is required under the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) Part 22 for various court documents, including statements of case, witness statements, expert reports, and application notices.

This declaration replaces older methods like affidavits or statutory declarations in many contexts and serves as evidence of the signer's belief in the document's truthfulness.

Failing to include a proper Statement of Truth can result in documents being rejected or struck out, emphasizing its critical role in maintaining the integrity of legal processes.

Why Do You Need Translations for Statements of Truth in the UK?

In an increasingly globalized world, many UK legal and official proceedings involve documents in foreign languages. If your original document includes or requires a Statement of Truth—such as a foreign-language witness statement or international contract—you must provide a certified English translation to ensure it's admissible in UK courts or government offices.

Without a properly certified translation, your submission could be delayed or invalidated, leading to additional costs and complications.

UK Requirements for Certified Translations with Statements of Truth

The UK does not have a regulated system for "official" translators, but authorities like courts, the Home Office, and HM Passport Office require translations to meet specific standards. A certified translation typically includes:

  • A full, accurate rendition of the original document.
  • A signed "translator's statement of truth" declaring that the translation is "true, complete, and accurate" to the best of the translator's knowledge.
  • The translator's full name, signature, contact details, qualifications (e.g., membership in ITI or CIOL), and date of translation.
  • Company stamp or letterhead if provided by a professional agency.

For court use under CPR, the translation must accompany the original, and the certificate must confirm its fidelity. Notarization may be required for certain documents, adding an extra layer of authentication. At Rapid Translate, all our certified translations comply with these UK guidelines, ensuring acceptance by relevant authorities.
