Translation of Documents

[Steps]

Hi,

  I have got translation of documents such as birth certificates and marriage certificate from last year. Will these translations be good for doing the Spouse visa for UK for my Thai wife? They have the stamp with the date on from last year. Thanks

The instructions say the translations should be dated, unlike the English and TB Tests there's no mention of expiry dates for translations.

 

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

My marriage certificate translations are from 2008, used them many times including this year without a problem.

As per @sandyf.
No expiry date for translations.
