Hi guys,

I have the following question for you.

I have translated all my diplomas - high school, university bachelor and master degrees and birth certificate. This was in year 2006. The copies were not only notary signed, but the translation was also stamped by the ministry of foreign affairs consular department, which authorizes that the translation has been made by authorized translator. Additionally an appostile has been put. Everything was done in accordance with the Visa office requirements, BUT FAR in 03-2006. May I use this documents to the visa office or I have to do the translation again ? Is there an expiration of the translation and notary sign ? In the instructions there is nothing about the validity of diploma translation and birth certificate, only IELTS and Police certificate have to be less than 1 year and less than 3 months old.
Can I use this old translation or i have to make it again ? What is your opinion and experience?

Hi,

The notarized documents do not expires.

It only applies to PCC and medical.

Best of luck.
