Notarized translation of documents

Translation of documents for visa

What documents you need to translate to get a visa

For those who wish to visit another country, it is almost always a question of obtaining a visa. To do this, a translation of official documents into a foreign language will be requested at the visa center. Usually, to apply for a visa, they ask for a translation of the following personal documents:

  • Marriage/birth certificate;
  • Bank account statement;
  • A letter of recommendation from a school or university;
  • Passport;
  • Certificate of no criminal record;
  • Certificates of real estate ownership;
  • Vehicle Registration Certificate;
  • A letter of sponsorship from parents;
  • Other papers proving the purpose of your trip as well as the availability of sufficient funds.

Do I need to certify a translation for a visa

Recently, visa centers did not require translations to be certified by a notary, however, in the last few years, the rules for accepting documents have become much stricter. It is recommended to check all current requirements with the embassy, as they may differ for your country of travel.

The translation of documents may be notarized or stamped and signed by the translator.

Certification by the translator's signature and seal
With this option, the original or copy of the original document is ribboned with the translation and the following contact information is included on the back of the document:

  1. Surname, name of the translator, their signature;
  2. Date and place of certification;
  3. An inscription that the translation corresponds to the original;
  4. Company seal.

Notarization
A more complex procedure that involves an official person - a notary. This includes:

  1. Translation into a foreign language by a certified professional;
  2. Confirmation of the translator's signature by a valid notary public;
  3. Official registration in the notarial registry.
