Hello, all. I'm not sure how to post this in the Ukrainian forum, so I do apologize.

I have a question to everyone who has been through the interview in Kiev or know what they are talking about ;)

I'm confused as to whether translations for birth certificate, police certificate and any other documents need to be notarized or can just have a stamp of the translating agency? There is a difference in cost and how much trouble to go to for the translations...

Thanks a bunch!

Have you been through the interview? sorry, I'm just paranoid about having everything right for the interview and not having to go back with the missing/incorrect docs :unsure:

From the Kiev website:

KEV-1 Checklist:

COPIES AND TRANSLATIONS When you arrive for the interview, you MUST present all the original documents accompanied by a photocopy and an English translation, which is produced by a certified translator. After the interview, all originals except police certificates and the medical examination report will be returned to you.

Thanks for all your help. I have downloaded the packet a long time ago. The only reason i was wondering about translation is because on the embassy site (Step 4) in the guide to fiancee visa processing it says "any document in a foreign language should be accompanied by a notarized/certified English translation".

Have a good day everyone!
