Hello guys,
I have a question about translation of documents when applying for sponsorship.
Do birth certificate,police certificate,my passport and labor book(that is a requirement for my country) need to be translated into English and certified?or just translated but no certification required?

Thanks

All of ours were by a certified translator so it was two birds with one stone and no worries about delays.

Make sure to go to a qualified translator plus a notary translator because they want a stamp

The rules are clear:
Use either a provincially certified translator without any notaries
Or use anybody that you like as a translator + a notary noting down a statement from the translator that the translation is accurate (Translation bureau would do exactly this).

This post is incorrect when you are translating required documents. They must be translated by a certified translator regardless of the country and notarized.
