Translations

If you have documents that are not in English, they must be translated.

All documents which are not in English or Welsh must be translated by a professional translator or translation agency. You must not translate the documents yourself. If you submit documents that are not in English without a translation they will not be considered when a decision is made about your visa.

If you have documents that you wish to submit with your visa application and they are not in English, you should contact a translation service provider to translate the document.

You must ensure that the translation you receive is a certified translation and that it also contains all of the following:

  • Confirmation from the translator that it is an accurate translation of the original document
  • The date the document was translated
  • The full name and signature of the translator or an official from the translation company
  • The translator or translation company’s contact details
