Folks,

I have interview in October and now is the time to get the stamps translated. I have two questions:
1- Do the stamps which has both English and foreign language needs to be translated or there is no need. I have stamps from UAE like this one :

2- There are few markings on the visa stickers which are in Arabic but are not necessarily stamps. Do these to be translated ? e.g as below:

1. UAE stamps do not need translation
2. Visa stickers do not need translation

Ps.: I had them both

If they can read them, they don't need to translate them. Only if they are fully in Arabic, or another language that's not English or French.
 
I have a similar questions, i have stamps but before the eligiblity period from UAE- do they need translation?

Nope. Remember the eligibility period is five years before you sign the application, not from the day you landed as PR.

Thankyou, i just realized they fall in the eligiblity period but before becoming pr? Do they still need translation? I think they have exit and entry written in english.

They're are relevant to your application as they're in the eligibility period. But if the entry/exit dates are in English or numbers, and "entry" and "exit" are in English, like the stamp in the OP's post, I don't think you need to translate them. Obviously if you wanna be safe and the cost is not too much, you can still translate them.

Thankyou so much. So what's the whole procedure? Get the passport stamps translated from certified translator and then I photocopy all the pages of passport and get it notarized as well or only the translation is fine?

The Translator will do the photocopying, translation, and notarization, mine gave me an extra copy for myself.

Yep. As long as you pay, they will do everything for you. :D

so do you need to notarize the passport photocopies?
I am thinking about having the translation prepared by a friend and just do the affidavit at Commissioner of Oath, is that sufficient?
