A list of common documents needed to be translated
While this may differ from case to case, here it is a list of the personal documents you need to have translated if they are in any other language than English:
- birth certificates
- marriage certificates
- divorce decrees
- diplomas
- academic records
- any other school or academic degrees
- police records
It is worth-noting that the above documents are needed not only for immigration reasons, but you will also need certified translation for any of them if you want to continue your studies in the UK or if you want to get a job in the UK.
When it comes to translating so many documents, people are usually translating a couple in hope that it will be enough, and then they have to translate the rest. This may be a good idea in order to split the expense over a period of time, but may also lead to having to pay more if you need them translated in a hurry. With every company that you ask for a quote, also ask if they have any extra rush rates, they usually have.
