Enforcement of translational requirements for UK short term visitor visa from Italy

score:3

Accepted answer

That all documents must be in English and that translations must be certified is not optional. The UK Visa & Immigration supporting documents guide is emphatic on that point:

If you submit a document that is not in English or Welsh, it must be accompanied by a full translation that can be independently verified by the Home Office. Each translated document must contain:

  • confirmation from the translator that it is an accurate translation of the original document
  • the date of the translation
  • the translator's full name and signature
  • the translator's contact details

As it also point out, submission of these documents does not guarantee that your application will be successful. However, disregarding that requirement, on the advice of those to whom it may not apply, risks a refusal.
