Many visa, residence, and citizenship applications will require vital records (e.g. birth certificates), and background checks, etc. come with a translation into one of the country's official language.
Some documents may be required to be sworn translations or certified translations.[1]
Sworn Translations
Sworn translations are performed by translators who are recognized by the country's consulate. They are legally binding documents.
Many consulates will provide contact lists of sworn translators.
Certified Translations
A translation agency or individual can include a statement that certifies their translation is correct, and thus be a certified translation.
When to Get Translations
If a document needs to be Apostilled, you need to have it apostilled first, then translated.
Otherwise, any other document can be translated as needed before application submission.
