hi there,

i had our REF arrive, we need to provide a translation of some documentation from Spanish to english. I have read the many other posts and i wanted to know if it is a good idea to translate it yourself or get a professional?? Its a family book that we have in Spain showing who my parents are where they were born, who they were married to be before, who their children are where they live etc..

A pro is not needed. Surly you know someone who is conversant in both languages and could do the translation for you.

Please submit certified translations for all foreign language documents. The translator must certify that s/he is competent to translate and that the translation is accurate.

The certification format should include the certifier's name, signature, address, and date of certification. A suggested format is:

Certification by Translator

I [typed name], certify that I am fluent (conversant) in the English and ________ languages, and that the above/attached document is an accurate translation of the document attached entitled ______________________________.

Signature_________________________________

Date Typed Name

Address

All the translator needs to do is make a notation like the sugested one from USCIS, and sign, date and note their address.

My husband translated some of his German docs into English himself. A family friend translated birth and marriage certs.

Sounds like a MORON of a lawyer, USCIS policy, NVC policy, and consulate policy is for English translations.

Exception is a US consulate in foreign country, they may or may not require translations, but if document is in a language other than the language of the country where the consulate is located they will need a translation.

yeah the lawyer was a BIG BOO BOO, we would have filed earlier last year, but we waited on her to finally send the paperwork off, and she actually saw the paperwork in question and i remember because my partner.. WHO IS Latino but doesnt read spanish.. called me about it.. and I explained what it was..at no TIME did she say get it translated..

and up at till the other day... i thought i absolutely couldnt fly to the usa to see my partner.. so this christmas was a very teary one.. i only discovered that you could fly because i was having a convo with a really awesome person i met on this site..
