UK entry clearance: lawyers' checklist of supporting documents and submission formats, including translations, dependants and children, separate dependant applications, ATAS, TB and criminal record certificates
Checklist of supporting documents for entry clearance
Format for translations
If a document is not in English or Welsh, you must supply the original-language version together with a complete translation that includes:
certification by a qualified translator, plus credentials for the translator or translation company that the Home Office can independently verify
contact details for the translator or translation company
confirmation that the translation is a true and accurate version of the original
the date the translation was completed
the translator’s full name and signature, or that of an authorised official of the translation company
Format for documents
All identity documents submitted must be originals, unless stated otherwise. Provide clear A4 copies of the originals as supporting evidence. For most non-settlement applications, you upload supporting documents digitally before your appointment, rather than handing over original hard copies at the visa application centre. Where this cannot be done, some visa application centres offer scanning and upload services. In such cases, take your copies to your appointment and a staff member will upload them on the day (a fee applies)...
