Document Translation Guidelines
All supporting documents must be submitted in English or the official language of the destination diplomatic mission to be valid.
Non-conforming documents will be rejected by consular offices. This guide outlines standard translation, translator credentials, and legal notarization guidelines.
Identify Documents Requiring Translation
Any supporting credentials originally in Bengali (e.g. Birth Certificates, Nikah Nama, Land deeds, Bank statement ledgers) require professional translation.
Engage Certified Professional Translators
Translations must be completed by professional translators. Self-translated documents or translations without official certification stamps will be rejected.
Include Translator Affidavits
Each translated document must include a signed affidavit from the translator confirming the translation is accurate, complete, and true.
Secure Legal Notarization
Translated documents and certificates must be notarized by an authorized Bangladesh Commissioner of Oaths to verify authenticity.

| Birth / Marriage Certificate | Mandatory Certified English Translation | Mandatory Legal Seal |
| Academic Transcript | Mandatory English Translation | Optional (Highly Recommended) |
