Translating foreign documents

If you need to submit any documents to us that are not in English, you must also provide an English translation from an approved or accredited translator.

What do I need if my documents are not in English?

1. An English translation of the document along with the original document.
2. A statement from an accredited or approved translator indicating that it is a true and accurate translation of the original document. It must also include the translator’s full name and official stamp or seal or translator’s identification number.

What translation services can I use?
