I went to this photographer in South London: http://www.beaumont-wright.co.uk/ He was able to take the passport pictures exactly to my requirements (on 'single weight matte paper', exact measurements, etc.) and it was not expensive (£7.99,- for six photos). Good luck. Michaela

Thank you. It took me 3 months to gather all documents with the PCCs and translations (I have many documents that are not in English) so I am sooo relieved that I finally sent my application off. :D Michaela

It is the same situation here in the UK (with the fedex account only being given to offices) but I called the customer service and explained my situation and they were so kind and did open an account for me. Have you ever called Fedex and asked them? They might do the same thing for you. :)...

I opened a Fedex account and gave the FBI my account number to send the package per Fedex as the mail in the UK is very unreliable and I was afraid that it might get lost. It is a bit pricey but all worth it. I had my cetificate after two days of them sending it off and I knew exactly when it...

That's what I thought but I just wanted to confirm. :) Thank you for this information! Is anybody here from the UK, who can refer a good translator to me, who does affidavits? Michaela

Hi everybody, I have two questions regarding the affidavit that has to accompany a translation of documents to the CIO: 1. I am looking for a translator in the UK, who also does affidavits but it seems that all the translators I contacted have no clue what I am talking about. Can anybody...

Can anybody help clarify this situation for me? Any help is appreciated! :) Michaela

Thank you for this information. But what if I go to one translator and he gives me one affidavit for his translations, which might include 6 of my documents? If I get one affidavit per document the costs become very high and I am not sure if it is necessary or required to do so as the translator...
