Certified Translations for the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and Law Society

To practice law in England and Wales, foreign-qualified lawyers must register with the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and meet specific professional standards. This includes:

  • Passing the SRA Assessment of Character and Suitability
  • Being registered with an equivalent overseas legal body
  • Completing the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) (which replaced the Qualified Lawyers Transfer Scheme – QLTS in 2021)

The SRA also requires that applicants come from a recognized jurisdiction. If you are applying to register as a solicitor or as a Registered Foreign Lawyer (RFL), you may be required to submit certified translations of your documents if they are not in English.

Commonly required documents include:

  • Overseas police/criminal record checks
  • Birth certificates
  • Professional references
  • Proof of membership with an overseas legal body

At Naric Org, we ensure that all translations meet SRA and Law Society standards, allowing you to register and practice law in England and Wales without unnecessary delays.

Certified Translations for the Law Society of Scotland

To practice law in Scotland, foreign-trained lawyers must register as a Registered Foreign Lawyer (RFL) with the Law Society of Scotland.

If you seek to qualify as a solicitor in Scotland, you must complete the Qualified Lawyers Assessment (QLA). The first step in this process is obtaining a Certificate of Eligibility, which demonstrates that you meet the requirements to practice law in Scotland.

The application process includes:

  • Providing a Certificate of Good Standing from your home bar association
  • Submitting a Disclosure Scotland application, which includes criminal background checks
  • Providing evidence of your academic and professional qualifications

If these documents are not in English, you must provide certified translations for your Law Society of Scotland application and Disclosure Scotland verification.

At Naric Org, we provide legally recognized translations that ensure compliance with Scottish legal registration standards.
