Is this possible to reuse translated certificates from previous application

Post by landrover8032 » Thu Aug 24, 2017 1:11 pm

I am going to extend my Tier 2 visa at the same time with my wife and child. I have with me the translated marriage and birth certificates which I used last year for my wife and child Tier 2 dependent (oversea) application. Those certificates were translated by translating service from my home country and they were approved last time.

Would this be any problem if I reuse those translated certificates this time? Many thanks.

Hi,
I think it should be fine as long as translator contact details are still valid.
Thanks
Manoj

Make sure the translated documents meet the UKVI requirements -

Certifying a translation
If you need to certify a translation of a document that’s not written in English or Welsh, ask the translation company to confirm in writing on the translation:

that it’s a ‘true and accurate translation of the original document’
the date of the translation
the full name and contact details of the translator or a representative of the translation company

Many thanks guys.

I am now filling the form and realise that the birth certificate and marriage certificate are not in the mandatory document list for the application. Could anyone please confirm whether those certificates are needed?

In the checklist you will find a list of mandatory and other documents - make sure you include everything mentioned under both headings.
