Check the official checklist
Document requirements depend on the destination and purpose of travel. Consult the receiving authority directly before deciding what to translate. A translation office does not decide whether a visa is granted.
Allow time for review
Prepare readable scans early, confirm names and dates, and tell the translation team your appointment date. Request a confirmed delivery time after the documents have been assessed.
Keep your documents consistent
Check that names are spelled consistently across your translated records. Keep source files and translated copies clearly labelled, and ask the team about any discrepancy before submission.
