Civil and family records
Birth, marriage, divorce and status documents.
Greek-language official documents from Greece, Cyprus or elsewhere may be needed for use in the United Kingdom. Professional translation should preserve names, official institutions, registration numbers and the original purpose of the record, particularly when legal or civil-status information is involved.
Greek names and places may appear in Greek characters and as established Latin-script forms. Some older records use typography or terminology that differs from modern templates, while documents issued by Cyprus and Greece can follow different administrative structures. The translator should not assume that a familiar English term names exactly the same institution or process.
