Hi guys, please help,
I've lived in the UK my entire life and hold a UK and Colombian passport, I decided to include my Colombian passport on my UK police certificate even though I've never lived in Colombia, just to be completely transparent, and so my entire police certificate is completely in English, except for one single line next to my Colombian passport information where it says place of birth: Londres Gran Bretana. This is literally the only part of the police certificate that is in Spanish, and my UK passport details say place of birth is London. Do I need to get my police certificate/ that line translated now??? Will ircc know what it means?

Oh, and on a similar note, me and my husband recently travelled to Morocco, where most of the passport stamp was in French, but theres a line of Arabic along the top. Do we need to get this line translated????

Where does one find someone to do these translations how the Canadian government wants them in the UK?

Plz advise?!

Thank you!

They can understand enough spanish to know that Londres Gran Bretana is London. (It's Londres Grande Bretagne in French after all).

Don[t know about Morocco. I personally would assume that the Arabic is repetitive of the French but don't know. I wouldn't bother having it translated and I think most likely they'd in worst case write and ask you to have it translated instead of sending it back - but I could be wrong.
