Hello everyone,
I'm a non-EEA spouse of a EEA citizen (Italian) and in the next couple of weeks I would like to apply for my EEA FP in Rome.
I have read all of the topics here but there is still one issue I can not figure out - do the translations of the supporting documents (like marriage certificate) have to be done by official translators or can I make them on my own, putting the "confirmation that it is an accurate translation of the original document" ?
Some people on the forum say they translated on their own, others made use of the official translators. So what is the right way to act? Does anyone have relevant experience in applying in Rome?

Looking forward to your kind answers, thank you beforehand!

Contact the embassy's consular section for advice.

Thanks a lot for the reply!

Just to add some information that might be useful to people.
Yesterday I did contact the WorldBridge Service with my enquiry, and got the following reply:
"... All translated documents must include all of the following information: 1)Confirmation from the translator that it is an accurate translation of the original document 2) The date of the translation 3) The translator’s full name and signature 4) The translator’s contact details.
Due to the high costs involved in obtaining official, or certified translations, the British Embassy will accept translations which have been prepared by the applicant, or e.g. a friend or employer. But all translations will be verified by Entry Clearance Staff on receipt of the application. Where a translation is found to be inaccurate, it will not be accepted. If there is any indication that a translation has been prepared with the sole intention of misleading the Entry Clearance Officer, the application will be refused."
