Translation of non-essential documents.

[Der Bücherwurm 1]

My contract for my apartment here in Istanbul is pretty lengthy so I'm wondering if it is necessary to get every single page translated. Of course I've had all the important and necessary documents like birth certificates, etc. translated. But for proving residency here in Turkey I will be submitting my Turkish residency card, copy of passport visa stamps, a letter mailed to me at my address here, copy of our Turkish tax cards and a copy of my apartment rental contract. Could I just type up a letter myself saying that the the following documents are a copy of my apartment contract, given the other evidence I'm submitting as well? Or do I really need to take the rather lengthy, multi-pg. document to have someone translate each page?

If documents are in the native language of the country in which you reside, translation is usually not necessary, i.e. a lot of our documents (including house lease) were in Danish and we filed in Denmark, they only required the documents to be in English OR Danish.

Ok. Thanks Ladycat. You're a peach. I'll just submit the apartment lease and copy of the tax cards in Turkish with a letter attached to the front stating what it is then. Everything else has already been translated to English though.

how's everything going with your case besides ?

We'll be sending our paperwork off to the embassy sometime next week. I just need to get the cashier's check from Fortisbank and then I want to double check and copy everything to make sure I didn't miss anything.
