What is an Immigration Document Translation?
Immigration authorities are rightly concerned about the credentials of those who want to enter their country. There are, of course, many reasons people go to other countries. They may go there to study, work, have a holiday or vacation, do business or attend a conference, entertain, play sport, or even permanently migrate to a place where life seems better for them. The translation of documents for immigration is a never-ending but vital service, as many of the documents needed to support an individual immigration application are not in the same language as the country in which the application is being made.
It is not reasonable to expect ordinary immigration officials to understand the 200 or so languages that are used around the world,so it is necessary for immigration translation services of high quality to step in and fill the gap.
What is Involved in an Immigration Document Translation?
The documents needed for immigration purposes are many and varied: birth and marriage certificates, educational, trade and professional qualifications, employment records, character references, police certificates, financial records and health records are just some of the documents often required for immigration translation.
It is a normal requirement that the translation of documents for immigration purposes is carried out by professional and competent translators, and in many cases the translation must be accompanied by a certificate provided by the translator.
In Australia, for example, government policy demands that all immigration translation is carried out by a translator or by an immigration translation service that has translators accredited by the official accreditation authority.
