Translation of PCC???

[Fab+She 0]

Hello how is everybody doing? I am the USC and my husband (beneficiary) resides in Italy, I want to know do I have to have his PCC translated?? We were told by a friend that went through the same as we are now that he did not have it translated, can someone please let me know what to do?.. My husband has the Certificato Generale del Casellario Giudiziale and the Certificato Del Carichi Pendenti. Thank you in Advance.

Be on th safe side just get it translated and safe a delay that could come later

I assume he is interviewing in Naples, Italy, right? I did not translate my police records, because the US Consulate in Naples accepted documents in Italian without English translations. Documents in any other languages needed to be translated. Double check withe the US Consulate (they should have instructions on their website) to see whether they changed their rules. When I did it, about 3 years ago, no translation was required.

Thank you newlyweds2010 for your response and yes he will be interviewing in Naples, but when I send them to NVC will they accept them like that?

I carried them with me to the interview, I didn't send them anywhere. But again, maybe they changed the procedure. As Jihana said, you can have them translated just to be on the safe side.

Since you're sending them to the NVC, and not to the Consulate (which does accept documents in English and Italian), I'm pretty sure they need to be translated.

Anyone fluent in both languages can do it (you or your husband included). Make sure you attach the Certificate by Translator. Copying and pasting from the USCIS website (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextchannel=fe529c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextoid=ff053d146a7ee010VgnVCM1000000ecd190aRCRD):

• 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 ______________________________.

Document translations are not required by the NVC.

Hi, I sent them to the NVC just like they gave them to me. Both certificates and birth certificate were sent without any translation and they didn't even blink. I got my interview date too so I guess they liked what I sent

Ok thanks Apapaia I will just send as they are thanks. Thank you all for helping me. I had called NVC this morning and they said they same that I did not have to have them translated, they said since it is going to be at Naples they do both English and Italian so thanks again for all your advice. Hope this helpes someone else who is going through the same thing.
