Do I need my marriage certificate translated?

[cindy88]

Hello everyone,

I'm applying for PR status, my hubby and I are Italian and since we got married in Italy our marriage certificate is, of course, in Italian.

My question is, is there a list / restriction of the type of documents that MUST be translated into English?
Does it matter the origin of the document (EU / non-EU)?

Many thanks to all the kind souls who take the time to answer these questions.

Kind regards
Cinzia

And if this is the case (all the docs which are not in English must have a certified translation) do anyone know about cheap reliable online translator services? There are so many out there....

Thanks again
C.

See PR guidance:

If you wish to send any documents that are not in English or Welsh, you must get the document translated by a qualified professional translator.

Ask the translator or 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;
